What is a headland deposition or erosion?

A headland is a narrow strip of land that extends out into a body of water, such as an ocean or lake. Deposition at a headland occurs when sediment is deposited at the end of the headland due to wave energy decreasing and the current losing its ability to carry sediment. Erosion at a headland happens when waves and currents wear away the land, shaping the headland over time.
