falésias
Explanation:
Falésia é uma forma geográfica litoral, caracterizada por um abrupto encontro da terra com o mar. Formam-se escarpas na vertical que terminam ao nível do mar e encontram-se permanentemente sob a ação erosiva do mar. Ondas desgastam constantemente a costa, o que por vezes pode provocar desmoronamentos ou instabilidade da parede rochosa.
