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

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


How are sea stacks formed?

Waves pounding the shoreline can make cracks. The cracks then gradually get larger and turn into a small cave. When the cave wears through the headland, an arch forms. Further erosion causes the arch to collapse, leaving the pillar of hard rock standing away from the coast-the stack. Eventually, erosion will cause the stack to collapse, leaving a stump.
