Which coastal feature is sometimes created when waves erode a headland?
A cave is sometimes created when waves erode a headland.
How do waves create a cave?
Waves keep hitting the side of a cliff and eventually erode enough rock to form a cave
Three ways in which waves erode rock?
1. They force water into cracks in the rock. That helps to break it up. It's called hydraulic action. 2. They dissolve soluble material from the rock. This is called solution. 3. They fling sand and pebbles against the rock. These wear it away like sandpaper. This is called abrasion.
How do waves change to cause water to erode water along a shoreline?
As the waves roll in more and more, the rock or mineral weakens and soon erodes down. It makes the rock thinner and less dense.
What are things that erode weathered rock?

How do waves erode a coast?
Waves erode a coast by their continuous and repeated actions of swarsh\uprush and retreats\backwash.
How long does it take for a sea arch to erode?
The time it takes for a sea arch to erode can vary depending on factors like the type of rock, the strength of ocean waves, and the climate. In general, it can take thousands to millions of years for a sea arch to form and erode.
How do waves create headland or bays by erosion?
Waves can create headlands and bays through a process known as wave erosion. When waves hit the coastline, they can erode the softer rock more quickly, forming indentations or bays. The harder rock, such as a headland, will erode more slowly, resulting in a protruding landform. Over time, this differential erosion can lead to the formation of headlands and bays along a coastline.
If waves erode the soft rock along the base of a steep coast the result may eventually be a landform called a .?
Wave-cut cliff
What do waves erode through?
Mechanical action.
What are Advantages of Rock armor?
Rock armour works by stopping the sea erode the cliff behind it. It lets the sea erode the rock, protecting it from coastal erosion. As the rock is hard, it will last for many years - granite is perfect for this job.
What are the affect of weathering on rock?
The rock will erode and change
