  • Sea Arches: Erosion vs. Deposition - Understanding Coastal Geology
    A sea arch is formed by erosion.

    Here's why:

    * Erosion: The process of wearing away and transporting rock and soil by forces like waves, wind, and water.

    * Deposition: The process of dropping or settling of eroded material in a new location.

    Sea arches are formed when waves repeatedly crash against a headland, eroding the rock. Over time, this erosion creates a cave. If the cave erodes through the headland completely, it forms an arch.
