A sea arch is an opening that was made naturally by the ocean by the sea water eroding the rock. Sea arches can also be formed by wind, or by the land. Or they can also be combination of all three. A sea arch is an arch that is made from an eroded cliff face. The water makes the sea arch after many years.

How is an arch formed in a cliff?
An arch in a cliff is formed through the erosion of softer rock layers by natural forces like wind, water, and ice. As these forces wear away the softer rock, a bridge-like structure of harder rock remains, creating the arch shape. Over time, the arch may collapse due to further erosion or structural weaknesses.
