the remains of a cliff are eroded away and crack form in the bottom of the cliff and so becomes an arch then soon the rest of the cliff that are holding up the arch will fall and then there will be a stack :)

The old harry is a stack in Swanage bay.
Old Harry is made of up thousands of fossils of a micro organism called Coccoliths.
The old harry was made by erosion and used to be linked to the needles.
Old harry also has a wife named old Harry's wife. This used to be a stack until it collapsed and became a stump. You can only see it on a low tide in the spring!!
I have been to see it and there are 2 other stacks the other side.
Is their names of these and did they used to be a part of the old Harry
I you are saying facts about old harry the stack i can give you quite a few such as:
He has been made by erosion, erosion is the tide of the sea that eats away at a cliff or rock
he used to have a wife but she is now a stump
He is on the edge of a headland or peninsula
the geology of old harry in clay and chalk anyway those are just a few
the old harry stack was found by the coast and are formed by the headland being eroded by the sea, and turning into a cave. The cave then turns into an arch from more erosion and eventually gets smashed into a stack by the sea.
The base of the stack was formed of chalk between 60 and 66 million years ago. When sea levels rose, the chalk eroded between Purbeck and the Isle of Wight. The stack including Old Harry rocks formed from erosion arches in the last 15,000 years, and in 1509 the first stack called Harry's "wife" crumbled to a stump.
There are two different stories about how 'Old Harry' got it's name. The first is that the Devil, called Old Harry, slept there and the other is that it is named for Harry Pool, the pirate.
Old harry's wife is called Henrietta. She is a stack which collapsed in the sea 1896. She is made out of chalk and her and her husband are found in swanage dorset.
Old harry was a stack. Old harry was an old man who drove his ships in. His wife every night stood on the end of the rock holding a lamp out so Old Harry wouldn't crash his boat. One night old harry went out in his boat and his wife was in the pub. Old Harry's wife was drunk and was walking out along the stacks and fell off and died. Along came old harry in his boat and because there was no lamp he crashed his boat in to a millions of pieces and he died to. So that is how Old Harry the stack got its name.
The sea smashed into the Headland (when there was one) which then created a archway. The archway then fell into the sea, the stack nearby is a bit off the old headland that has shown as the water level has fallen.Then it built up by quarul.
· Old Harry was the first one to climb the rock so they called it Old Harry· The devil was known as Old Harry and he slept on the rock· The rock was named after Harry Paye, an infamous Poole pirate, who stored his contraband nearby.Old Harry was a well known Pirate around the area. It was simply named after him.
