Key factors in failure and retreat of lakeshore bluffs are determined to be wave action, currents, wind, surface runoff, subsurface flow and sapping, raindrop impact, frost action, gouging by ice, chemical weathering, composition of materials, vegetation, lake levels, and shore protective structures; failure of bluffs need not lead immediately to retreat, but usually does so ultimately; quantitative data on soil and rock properties, available only in small quantities, are consistent with behavior of corresponding materials in lakeshore bluffs.
