Q

Caves, blowhole, geo sequence step 2

A

Waves force air and water into the cave, creating a shaft upwards to the surface and forming a blowhole where water gushes out in certain tide and wave conditions

Q

Caves, blowhole, geo sequence step 3

A

Continued erosion cause the extended cave root to collapse leaving a long narrow inlet - (A geo). Geos can form along a line of weakness where erosion processes have a greater impact.
