After sea cliffs erode, they may retreat inland over time, resulting in the coastline moving further inland. This can lead to changes in the shape and structure of the coastline, as well as potential hazards such as landslides or coastal flooding. Ongoing erosion can also contribute to the formation of new landforms, such as sea stacks or arches.
a cliff
usually erosion happens when a weather condition is in place e.g wind, heavy rain, floods. or if a cliff is partially in the sea with time the sea can erode away at it. hope this helps (by the way this is just a brief rundown of erosion if you want more detail ill be happy to help) :) x
A sea cave that wears through a cliff is called an arch.
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.
The time it takes for a sea arch to erode can vary depending on factors like the type of rock, the strength of ocean waves, and the climate. In general, it can take thousands to millions of years for a sea arch to form and erode.
Wave-cut cliff
a cliff
Actually it takes a long series of waves to erode a cliff. A wave erodes a cliff because every time it washes away, it take little bits and pieces of rock minerals. Soon, all the surface minerals are washed away, and the process begins again, which will result in erosion of the cliff. The cliff will either take on a new shape or erode away completely. It depends on how much erosion the cliff has experienced. The longer the erosion process has occured the more the cliff will vanish. Hope this helped!
The stump will decay/erode and collapse into the sea.

When waves erode through a cliff, they produce sediments such as sand, gravel, and rocks. These sediments can be carried away by the waves, deposited on beaches, or transported to new locations by currents. Over time, the continuous erosion can lead to the formation of sea caves, arches, and stacks along the coast.
Rock armour works by stopping the sea erode the cliff behind it. It lets the sea erode the rock, protecting it from coastal erosion. As the rock is hard, it will last for many years - granite is perfect for this job.

A sea arch is most likely to form in coastal areas where waves erode and create a hole through a headland or cliff. Over time, the erosion from waves weakens the rock, leading to the formation of a sea arch.
Abrasion is the 'sand papering' effect of the wave on a cliff
