It is weathering. Basicaly the once the stump is formed the top part is weathered away.

What is the correct sequence for the formation of a stump?

The correct sequence for the formation of a stump is as follows: 1. A tree is cut down or falls naturally. 2. The remaining base or lower portion of the tree is left standing. 3. Over time, the stump begins to decay and break down, eventually becoming a part of the surrounding ecosystem.


How is a stumps formed?

The sea forms a sea cave which goes into a arch then it goes into a stack and finally when the sea eroded for years a stump is formed


How are cave arch stack and stump made?

the sea erodes the rock facing out to sea with corrasion etc this form a cave in the rock this gets bigger until it goes all the way through the rock to the other side - this causes an arch after a while the rock above the arch loses support and the rock left over standing in the sea is a stack when this falls over and gets eroded more, it forms a stump


What are caves archs stacks and stumps?

Caves are caused by erosion by the sea. Eventually the erosion wears a hole all the way through, creating an arch. After a while, the arch breaks down, forming a stack. When that is weathered even more, whatever is left is a stump. So first, erosion makes a cave. Then a hole is weathered all the way through creating an arch. After more erosion the top of the arch loses support and breaks off leaving a stack. Finally more weathering creates a stump.


How does a natural arch change into a stack?

the sea erodes the stack to such a point until the wasn't enough suport and the roof colapsed making the arch become a stack.


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.


Which results from the collapse of a sea arch?

sea stack


What happens if a sea arch collapses?

If a sea arch collapses, it will result in the formation of a sea stack. A sea stack is a pillar of rock that is separated from the mainland by erosion. Over time, the sea stack may also erode and eventually collapse into the sea.


When a sea arch collapses it leave an isolated remnant called?

a sea stack


Landforms created by wave erosion are?

Headland,Sea Cave, Sea Arch, Sea stack,and wave-cut cliff. EXAMPLE WITH SEA ARCH AND SEA STACK: A sea arch is formed when two caves on opposite sides of a headland join. The sea arch collapses when the waves & weathered sediment (rock particles),hit it continuously in which a sea stack is formed. the sea arch is then .eroded and deposited in a new place.


What is a stack and why does it need to be at least 3 to 4?

A coastal stack is a tall piece of rock left over when an arch in a cliff is eroded away.


How long does it take a natural arch is formed?

Actually an arch is formed using these steps: Step1:Waves crash against the cliff and erode joints in the cliff face this creates a small hole in the Cliff or a notch Step 2: Waves erode the notch making it bigger it is now a cave Step 3: The cave gets bigger and eventually punches a whole in the cliff forming an arch. Now that an arch has been made this is what will happen to the arch in the future! Step 4: the arch will eventually collapse due to further erosion and gravity the arch will collapse this leaves a pillar of rock disconnected from the land this is called a stack Step 5: The bottom of the stack is eroded between the high and low tide marks, unsupported chunks of rock will now collapse leaving a spindly structure called a Pinnacle. Step 6: eventually due to MORE erosion the pinnacle collapses leaving a stump
