Q

how do stacks form (detailed)

A
  1. Waves attack a rock face using the force of the water and a crack forms in the weakest part of the rock.
  2. Over time the crack enlarges, which forms a cave
  3. The cave is widened and deepened and pushes through the headland to form a natural arch.
  4. More erosion from the sea and weathering can cause the arch to collapse, leaving a stack.
  5. Over time further weathering and erosion lead the stack to wear down to a stump
