List four landforms created by wave erosion?

Answer 1

Three landforms created by wind are; sand dunes, yardangs (half-teardrop shaped formations hill sized, and deflation hollows (wind swept depressions. Good examples are in death valley, California, U.S.) Wind also contributes to significant sculpting of sandstone rock including arches.

Answer 2

These are divided into two classes, erosional or depositional.

Erosional such as cliffs, wave-cut platforms, headland, estuary, and so on.

Depositional such as beaches, tombola, lagoons, and so on.

Answer 3

The three landforms created by wave erosion are:

• sea cave
• wave-cut cliff
• sea arch, but if an arch collapses, the result might be a sea stack.

P.s. I may be wrong, but I think that is the right answer!

Answer 4

Marine erosion occurs by abrasion, solution and hydraulic action (waves can exert a force of 40 tonnes per metre squared upon impact with a cliff face).

1. Wave-cut platform - flat plane of rock, providing evidence of parallel retreat. Formed where marine processes undermine the basal support of rocks (with horizontally-bedded strata) and so trigger cliff failure.

2. Stack - fin of rock, formed at promontories (headlands). e.g. Durdle Door, UK

3. Stump

Answer 5

Headland,Sea Cave, Sea Arch, Sea stack,and wave-cut cliff.

EXAMPLE WITH SEA ARCH AND SEA STACK: A sea arch is formed when two caves on opposite sides of a headland join. The sea arch collapses when the waves & weathered sediment (rock particles),hit it continuously in which a sea stack is formed. the sea arch is then .eroded and deposited in a new place.

Answer 6

Six shoreline features created by wave erosion include sea cliffs, sea stacks, sea caves, sea arches, headlands, and wave-cut terraces.

Answer 7

All of the landforms are longshore drift, beaches, barriers, spits,&sandbars

Answer 8

sea stacks

sea slumps

sea caves
