These are sea-caves. The normal weathering processes act on the cliffs, but are accelerated by the pounding action of waves and the very rapid rises in air-pressure within the cave as a large wave crashes in.
The waves also tend todrag fallen rock away to expose fresh faces to attack.
So the wind is implicated, butin creating storm-waves.

What is formed by wind action?
Sand dunes are formed on beaches and in deserts by wind. After a dune forms, wind causes the dune to slowly move forward. Wind also carries away loose soil, causing erosion.
Is a valley formed from water or wind or ice?
they are formed by wind
What causes the formation of caves chemical or mechanical weathering?
Weak acids seep into the ground until they reach a zone soaked with water. As the ground water become more acidic, it dissolves calcite and other minerals in the rock. Over time, the action of the acidic water produces holes in the rock. The holes grow, creating passages, chambers, and pits, and eventually become caves.
What environmental process forms the dry caves?
The only caves that can form dry are; Rock-shelters eroded out by wind-blown sand. Talus Caves: voids between landslipped boulders and their parentrock-face. Mass-movement fissures: formed by a type of landslip. Lava Tubes - rather stretching the point because they result from molten lava flowing out from beneath a solidified crust. Caves formed in limestone - as most caves are - arekarst features, i.e. result from dissolution of the rock by weakly-acidic ground-water. Although such caves can subsequently lose their formative streams and so become dry, they were not formed dry and do not develop any further.
List four landforms created by wave erosion?
Three landforms created by wind are; sand dunes, yardangs (half-teardrop shaped formations hill sized, and deflation hollows (wind swept depressions. Good examples are in death valley, California, U.S.) Wind also contributes to significant sculpting of sandstone rock including arches.
How are Erosional caves formed?
Erosional caves are formed by the action of water or wind.
How are Erosional formed?
Erosional caves are formed by the action of water or wind.
What is an eolian cave?
Caves that are in the desert which are formed by wind erosion
What is factors can affect the height of a wind formed wave?
the speed of the wind,the length of time that the wind blows, and the fetch
How does a wave-cut cliff form?
wave cut cliffs are formed by wind and tide driven waves
What is formed by wind action?
Sand dunes are formed on beaches and in deserts by wind. After a dune forms, wind causes the dune to slowly move forward. Wind also carries away loose soil, causing erosion.
How does erosion affect caves?
Because it blows around so much that the wind stops erosion. This answer may not be right but it should be close. So look it up somewhere else. +++ Assuming it was a genuine question, I offer a genuine answer rather than nonsense that is neither right nor close. Caves except lava-tubes are themselves erosion features, the majority by dissolution of limestone by water flowing through the joints etc in the rock mass. External erosion will in time remove a cave as it removes the land that held it. Sea-caves are formed by wave action on the cliff.
Desert arches are formed by?
A desert arch is formed by the action of wind carried sand grains abrading a weakness in the rock.
What are desert arches formed by?
A desert arch is formed by the action of wind carried sand grains abrading a weakness in the rock.
Depression formed due to deflating action of wind are called?
this is called yardang
How are wave action and moving wind similar forces of change?
They both carry materials to new locations.
What is a sea cliff?
A sea cliff is a high, steep rocky formation that is found on the edges of land on the coast. Sea Cliffs are quite common features found along exposed coastlines. They are formed by physical erosion such as wave and wind action. Most will retreat landwards as wave action undercuts their base, this will then cause the overhang to weaken, making a collapse possible.
