what type of sediments are the white cliffs of dover made of
White Cliffs of Dover The White Cliffs of Dover are cliffs that form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliffs are part of the North Downs formation. The cliff face, which reaches up to 350 feet (110Â m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. The cliffs stretch along the coastline for eight miles (13 km), spreading east and west from the town of Dover in Kent, and part of them were purchased by the National Trust in 2016.[1] They are part of the Dover to Kingsdown Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest[2] and Special Area of Conservation[3]
White Mountains (New Hampshire) The White Mountains are a mountain range covering about a quarter of the state of New Hampshire and a small portion of western Maine in the United States. They are part of the northern Appalachian Mountains and the most rugged mountains in New England. The range is heavily visited due to its proximity to Boston and, to a lesser extent, New York City and Montreal.
