If the cliff falls onto people it can harm them, another way it can affect them is if their agricultural land was there and it fell off. This would mean that they would be loosing their livelihoods. If people own houses that are close to the cliff edge, the local council sometimes asks them to knock it down, as if it falls off it may injure people below on the beach. Some people have to knock down their own houses with their bare hands.

wind blowing at the edge of the cliff AND waves pounding the base of the cliff will cause a cliff to collapse
What is cliff retreat?
A cliff retreat is a form of natural erosion. Rocks in the face of the cliff are broken down by wind and water (rain, waves, etc). The material in the cliff is loosened, and parts of the cliff face collapse. Eventually, an entire section of the cliff will fall into the sea, meaning that the cliff edge has retreated. The pace of cliff retreat is determined by the strength of the rocks in the cliff face, more than the cliff's height. It also most often occurs where the base of the cliff is continually being saturated by water, weakening the rock further.
