  • Shoreline Erosion: Understanding Headlands vs. Bays
    Most of the erosion along this shoreline occurs at point B.

    This is because point B is a headland, which is a point of land that juts out into the water. Headlands are often exposed to strong winds and waves, which can cause erosion. In contrast, point A is a bay, which is a sheltered area of coastline. Bays are less exposed to winds and waves, so they experience less erosion.
