Erosion caused by waves is known as Hydraulic Action, which mostly consists of air bubbles being forced into cracks in rocks. Waves also cause abrasion whereby material transported in the wave collides at speed with a rock face, wearing it away. Wave erosion is a type of marine erosion.

Do grikes in limestone form mainly by wind or water?
Grikes in limestone primarily form due to water erosion rather than wind erosion. Water seeping into the limestone gradually dissolves and widens vertical joints and fractures, creating the grikes. Wind can contribute to weathering and desiccation of the limestone, but it is not the primary agent responsible for the formation of grikes.
