• Erosion by Waves:
• Sea arch: Formed when waves erode a headland, creating a hole that gradually enlarges.
• Sea stack: Formed when a sea arch collapses, leaving a pillar of rock.
• Wave - cut cliff: Formed as waves erode the base of a cliff, causing the upper part to collapse.
• Deposition by Waves:
• Beach: Formed as waves deposit sand and sediment along the shore.
• Sandbar: Formed as waves deposit sediment in shallow water, creating a ridge of sand.
• Barrier island: Formed as waves deposit sediment, creating a long, narrow island parallel to the shore.
