Answer:

is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The softer rock along the coastline erodes first. Sometimes waves can erode a hollow area called a sea cave. Over time waves can also erode the base of a cliff so much that it makes the rock above it collapse, creating a wave cut cliff. Another landform that is created by waves is called a sea arch.

hope this helps

Wave-cut cliffs form when waves erode a rocky shoreline. They create a vertical wall of exposed rock layers. Wave-cut platforms are level areas formed by wave erosion. Since these platforms are above sea level, it means that either sea level was higher relative or the rock was lower.
