  • Sea Stacks: Understanding Wave Erosion Formations
    An isolated remnant of wave erosion is called a sea stack.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Wave erosion: The constant pounding of waves against the coastline gradually wears away at the rock.

    * Headland: A headland is a piece of land that juts out into the sea.

    * Sea cave: Over time, wave erosion can create caves in the headland.

    * Sea arch: As the cave continues to erode, it may eventually form an arch.

    * Sea stack: When the arch collapses, the remaining pillar of rock is called a sea stack.

    Sea stacks are fascinating geological formations that showcase the power of nature. They are often found along rugged coastlines where wave action is strong.
