  • Coastal Landforms: 5 Key Features Shaped by Wave Erosion
    Here are five landforms produced by wave erosion:

    1. Sea Cliffs: Steep rock faces along the coast that are formed when waves relentlessly attack the base of the cliff, causing undercutting and eventual collapse.

    2. Wave-Cut Platforms: Flat, gently sloping surfaces that are exposed at low tide and are formed when waves erode the base of a cliff, leaving a platform at sea level.

    3. Sea Caves: Hollows eroded into the base of cliffs by wave action, often formed by the concentration of wave energy in weaknesses within the rock.

    4. Sea Arches: Natural bridges formed when waves erode through a headland, leaving a gap in the rock.

    5. Stacks: Isolated columns of rock that are left standing after wave erosion has removed the surrounding land.
