Sea stacks form over a long period of time—thousands or even millions of years.
The features sea stack, sea headland, cliff, sea arch, and sea cave all form from continuous wave erosion over a long period.
When two sea caves on opposite sides of a headland unite, they form an arch. Over time, continued erosion can cause the arch to collapse, leaving behind a stack. Subsequent erosion can erode the stack to form a sea stack.
An isolated remnant of wave erosion is typically a sea stack or sea stack before it is eroded further to become a sea stack. It is a column of rock that is left standing after the erosion of a headland by the relentless force of waves.
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.
A sea stack by far. This is because if you imagine a cliff face constantly being eroded away by the waves, the first sign of erosion to appear will be a crack in the rock which will soon open up more and become a cave. Eventually, the waves will keep eroding away the wall until it comes out the other side and becomes an arch. The roof will then collapse due to more erosion and leave a high stack of rock stranded in the ocean. This is the sea stack.

Sea cave ,sea arches ,stack , sea cliff
An offshore column of rock that was once part of the mainland is called a sea stack or stack. It was formed by erosion.
a sea stack
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.
a coasal stack can be small or tall and they are mostly placed in tasmainia in the sea they start of as a cliff the slowly arrode into smaller and smaller untill finaly iner water and erroded into nothing.
