It shapes the coast by weathering. Weathering is the action of weather, animals and plants on a rock. The rock is broken down.

∙ 14y agoThe shape of a coastline depends a lot on how the land was created.
Soft rocks erodes fast and hard rocks erodes slowly.
Where land meet ocean, the ocean will be a massive cause of erosion and the coastline will be shaped according to the lands density/hardness.
At places where weather is very rough, the coastline will be more at risk of erosion.
Seacurrents are also a factor. At places where seacurrents transport the eroded material away, this leaves the edge of land unprotected and further erosion will occur.
Where the seacurent deposits this material there will be bays of sandy beaches that will actually prevent erosion. These places often grow in size and water becomes more shallow.
