How did the waves and the rock type have anything to do with the formation of lulworth cove?
Coves formed where rock runs in bands horizontal to the direction of the waves. There is a band of resistant rock closest to the sea and a band of less resistant rock inland. The wave seeks out faults in the hard rock and erodes through to the soft rock behind. Then the Wave eroded the softer rock faster and this leaves a circular cove with a narrow entrance where the sea enters.
