Sea Stacks

Sea Stacks are pillars of rock found on cliffed coastlines around the country. They are a result of marine erosion and wave attack. Many famous stacks are given names. When a stack has been eroded it becomes a stump, before finally disappearing.

Sea Caves

Sea Caves are one of the first stages in coastal erosion. The waves pick out weaknesses in the rock and enlarge them into caves. Afterwards caves may develop into Natural Arches and Stacks.
