Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) forms caves by dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass.
How do geographical stacks form?
The cliff face is eroded by hydraulic action, which over time forms a cave. The back and roof of the cave is then eroded until it breaks through the headland forming an arch. Further erosion on the arch causes it to collapse, thus forming the stack. More erosion on the stack will cause it to form a stump.
What forms when waves cut completely through a headland?
A Sandbar
How water forms caves?

The formation of stacks begins when the sea attacks small cracks in a headland, which causes them to open. The cracks gradually become larger and turn into small caves. Eventually an arch forms and collapses, leaving a pillar of rock (or stack) standing away from the coast.

How are stumps formed in the sea?
