Sea Arches
Sea arches form when waves erode through a headland or a stack.
"Stack" is the name given to offshore pinnacles formed when wave action
separates a headland from the mainland. Waves are "refracted" , or change
direction when they strike a headland. These refracted waves can erode
both sides of a headland or stack, forming a cave on each side; and eventually
eroding completely through, forming an arch.
