Are sea stacks caused erosion or deposition?
they are caused by erosion hope that helps
How are sea stacks formed?
Waves pounding the shoreline can make cracks. The cracks then gradually get larger and turn into a small cave. When the cave wears through the headland, an arch forms. Further erosion causes the arch to collapse, leaving the pillar of hard rock standing away from the coast-the stack. Eventually, erosion will cause the stack to collapse, leaving a stump.
What is one way that waves cause erosion?
Wave-cut cliffs, headlands, sea stacks, sea arches, sea caves, beaches, sandbars, and spits.
What is marine erosion?
Marine erosion is the action of the sea on coastal landforms. Examples of this type of erosion are hydraulic pressure, abrasion and attrition.
When did the erosion hit at lulworth?
The rocky coastline of Lulworth Cove was carved out of the rocks of the coastline by the sea. This type of erosion can take hundreds of years.

Why sea caves are turned into stacks?
sea caves are turned into stacks because of the erosion and deposition of the sea waves gives rise to coastal land forms.

What are the 2 causes of erosion?
Weather and the sea
How are sea stacks formed and sea archs?
By erosion. Sea caves erode to become sea arches which erode to form sea stacks.
How are stacks found?
They are found by the coast and are formed by the headland being eroded by the sea, and turning into a cave, which turns into an arch from more erosion, then gets smashed into a stack by the sea.
What is marine erosion?
Marine erosion is the action of the sea on coastal landforms. Examples of this type of erosion are hydraulic pressure, abrasion and attrition.
How are Sea Stacks and sea arches formed?
Sea stacks are formed when a sea arch collapses and sea arches are formed when waves (pound) erode or ware away a whole in the headland.
What landforms are deposited by waves?
Sea arches and sea stacks
What is the main agent of erosion that causes sea caves?
Water. Specifically the wave action beating on the cliff.
How do Sea caves are turned into stacks?
The erosion and deposition of the sea waves gives rise to coastal land forms.seawaves continuously strike at the rocks cracks develop time they become larger and wider thus hollow like caves are formed on the rocks they are called sea caves.
