Do headlands or bays or regular shorelines experience more erosion?

headlands will experience the most, because they are the line of least resistance (sticking out into the sea) and will catch the full force of the waves, as opposed to the bays and shorelines they shelter.


What two minerals are most likely found in beach sand that was eroded from headlands composed of the rock diorite?

Beach sand eroded from headlands composed of diorite is likely to contain the minerals quartz and feldspar. Diorite primarily consists of plagioclase feldspar and hornblende, and as it weathers, these minerals break down and contribute to the sand composition. Quartz, being highly resistant to weathering, is also commonly found in beach sand due to its prevalence in various rock types.


How is a Headland formed?

Basically, a bay is formed first, which is when the coast erodes and makes kind of a C shape. the bits that are sticking out in the sea are called the headlands. headlands erode too, but slowly, because they are made of a hard rock. bays are made of softer rocks, therefore they erode quickly.
