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!

If waves erode the soft rock along the base of a steep coast the result may eventually be a landform called a?
Wave-cut cliff
How does waves erode by abrasion?
Abrasion is the 'sand papering' effect of the wave on a cliff
Is a wave cut cliff a result of erosion or deposition?
A wave-cut cliff is a result of erosion. The constant action of waves hitting against the base of the cliff causes it to erode and retreat inland over time, forming a steep cliff face.
What are three cliff features that may be formed by wave erosion?
Sea caves, sea arches, and sea stacks are three cliff features that may be formed by wave erosion.
If waves erode the soft rock along the base of a steep coast the result may eventually be what kind of landform?
The landform is called a wave-cut cliff, or wave-cut platform, where a flat rock area extends into the sea, at or near the water level.
What is the definition of wave erosion?
Wave erosion is the process by which waves wear away or erode the coastline or shoreline, typically through the action of hydraulic pressure, abrasion, and corrosion. This erosion can result in the formation of sea cliffs, sea caves, and sea stacks over time.

What is formed when a sea cliff is worn back?
When a sea cliff is worn back, a platform or wave-cut bench is formed. This feature is created by the erosion and abrasion caused by waves breaking against the cliff face. The platform typically lies at the base of the cliff and extends outwards into the sea.

What Is a wave-cut notch?
A wave-cut notch is a notch or recess in a coastal cliff formed by the erosion from wave action, typically at the high tide mark. It is created as waves constantly wear away the base of the cliff, leading to a recession in the rock face. Overtime, the wave-cut notch can develop into a larger feature such as a sea cave or sea stack.
