Answer: Formation Of A Blowhole

Sea Caves are a common feature along the coasts and are formed through mechanical erosion of cliffs. ... Hydraulic pressure, built up by a succession of waves, eventually carves out a hole at the top of the cave to create an opening for water pressure to be expelled as a jet of spray...

Hope it helped you :)

Step-by-step explanation:

When sea caves grow towards the land and upwards creating a vertical shaft that exposed on the surface, it results in a blowhole. Water often gushes out at the top part of the landform when waves move to the sea cave with significant force.
