What is a headland deposition or erosion?
erosion
What are some facts on wave erosion?
waves can breakdown the softer rock on the mainland while leaving the harder rock which creates a headland or peninsula.
When waves cut completly through a headland what is formed?
When waves cut completely through a headland, a feature called a sea cave is formed. Sea caves are formed by the relentless erosion of waves gradually wearing away the weaker rock layers of a headland. Over time, the waves create openings and cavities that can extend deep into the headland.
How can weathering and erosion change Earth's landforms?
Weathering and erosion causes the Earth's landforms to wear away forming new features. Eg. A limestone headland can be weathered by rainwater forming clints, dykes, caves etc while at sea the waves can erode the part of the headland jutting out into the sea forming a cliff and wave-cut platform.
Are Fiords are formed through wave erosion?
Yes fiords are formed through wave erosion. A sea arch is also formed through wave erosion. Other things that can be formed through erosion are canyons, cliffs, and caves.

How would these features form A sea stack B sea headland C cliff D sea arch E sea cave?
The features sea stack, sea headland, cliff, sea arch, and sea cave all form from continuous wave erosion over a long period.
What issues might the coastal resort of swanage have?
erosion. deposition. transportation. hydraulic action erosion (wave erosion). abrasion erosion (wave erosion).
Landforms created by wave erosion are?
Headland,Sea Cave, Sea Arch, Sea stack,and wave-cut cliff. EXAMPLE WITH SEA ARCH AND SEA STACK: A sea arch is formed when two caves on opposite sides of a headland join. The sea arch collapses when the waves & weathered sediment (rock particles),hit it continuously in which a sea stack is formed. the sea arch is then .eroded and deposited in a new place.
Is a river erosion faster than a wave erosion?
It depends how fast the wave and river speed are.
Are Fiords are formed through wave erosion?
Yes fiords are formed through wave erosion. A sea arch is also formed through wave erosion. Other things that can be formed through erosion are canyons, cliffs, and caves.
How did the headland change in 250 years?
Ti must have become smaller over that period due to marine erosion.
What landforms are created by water erosion?
The 3 landforms created by wave erosion sometimes called coastal erosion are headlands and bays, cliffs and wave cut platforms and finally caves, arches, stacks and stumps. Wave erosion is the wearing away of land and the removal of beach by wave currents.
How a is a wave-cut Platform made?
A wave cut platform is made due to erosion of the head land or cliff. The constant and repetitive crashing of the waves on the rock which have sand grains in them wear away at the rock and eventually wear out a cave that collapses on itself forming a platform below the headland or cliff and that ids then called the platform.
