How are wave cut platforms formed?

Wave cut platforms are formed through the erosional action of waves on a rocky coastline. As waves pound against the rock over time, they wear it down and create a flat and level surface. This process is aided by factors such as the presence of softer rock and the abrasion from sediment and debris carried by the waves.
