The type of the rock- how  resistant  is it to  erosion/weathering ? The  dip  of the rock  strata - which way do they face? The number of  joints  between rocks layers, these are susceptible to  erosion  and  weathering .
Likely to  erode  more slowly. Have tall and vertical cliffs. Have features such as  arches  and  stacks . Chalk cliffs at Flamborough head. http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonrising/2478441695/
Likely to  erode  more quickly. Have lower cliffs, with shallower inclines. Clay cliffs at Mappleton. http://www.flickr.com/photos/vikellis/2811526189/ Have features such as  beaches .
The number of  joints  within rocks will also influence the resistance to  erosion  and  weathering . Bed joint
