People
living
on
parts
of
the
south
coast
of
England
face
a
serious
problem.
In
1993,
the
owners
of
a
large
hotel
and
of
several
houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight.
The
sea
had
eaten
into
the
soft
limestone
cliffs
on
which
they
had
been
built.
While
experts
were
studying
the
problem,
the
hotel
and
several
houses
disappeared
altogether,
sliding
down
the
cliff
and
into
the
sea.

Erosion
(侵蚀?/p>
of
the
white
cliffs
along
the
south
coast
of
England
has
always
been
a
problem
but
it
has
become
more
serious
in
recent
years.
Dozens
of
homes
have
had
to
be
abandoned
as
the
sea
has
crept
farther
and
farther
inland.
Experts
have
studied
the
areas
most
affected
and
have
drawn
up
a
map
for
local
people,
forecasting
the
year
in
which
their
homes
will
be
swallowed
up
by
the
hungry
sea.
<br
/>
Angry
owners
have
called
on
the
Government
to
erect
sea
defenses
to
protect
their
homes.
Government
surveyors
have
pointed
out
that
in
most
cases,
this
is
impossible.
New
sea
walls
would
cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go
further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger
is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock
which
will
not
be
eaten
as
limestone
is.
Meanwhile,
if
you
want
to
buy
a
cheap
house
with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on
the
south
coast
of
England.
You
can
get
a
house
for
a
knockdown
price
but
it
may
turn
out to be a knockdown home. </font>
