Question

Explain the formation of any two erosional landforms created by the sea waves.

Answer 1

Instructions:

• Define sea waves.
• Describe two erosional landforms.

Solution:

The up and down movements of water in the sea are known as sea waves.

Sea cliffs​:

• The steep hillocks facing the sea are called sea cliffs.​
• These cliffs range from​ a few meters high to hundreds of meters above sea level.​

Sea caves​:

• They are formed primarily due to erosion caused by waves.​
• Due to the continuous action of sea waves, cracks get developed on the rock faces.
• As these cracks become larger and wider, hollow caves get formed on the rocks.​
