A mussel survives the pounding action of the waves by being able to open and close. It can close when the waves hit, and open when the waves go back out.

How are caves formed by wind and wave action?

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.
