Waves
Strong waves erode and deposit material on shorelines over time, forming various landforms. These include sea cliffs created as wave-induced cracks in rock expand and break off pieces. Sea caves are also formed as weaker rocks are carved out by wave erosion. When erosion joins cracks close to each other, sea arches form. Further erosion can cause arch roofs to collapse, leaving behind stacks. Beaches are landforms created through the temporary deposition of sand and soil by wave action.

- 4. Strong waves causechanges on the shores through the erosional and depositional processes. This leads to the conformation of different land forms. Sea cliff Sea caves Sea arches Stacks Beaches
- 5. Due tothe force of the waves racks occur to the rocks to the rocks which are situated near to the shore in coarse of time these cracks becomes bigger and pieces tall away in to the ocean. This causes steep slopes to form on the shores. They are called sea cliffs.
- 6. Due to erosionby the waves, weak rocks by the side of the sea are carved out and sea caves are formed
- 7. Some timesdue to the weathering and erosion caused by the waves which are close to each other are joined are arches are formed.
- 8. When thesize of the caves increases further due to the continued erosional processes, the roofs of the arches would collapse. The structure that remain after these are called stacks.
- 9. These areformed due to the depositional work of the waves. The sand and soil brought by the waves are temporarily deposited to from beachers.
