how do stacks form (detailed)
- Waves attack a rock face using the force of the water and a crack forms in the weakest part of the rock.
- Over time the crack enlarges, which forms a cave
- The cave is widened and deepened and pushes through the headland to form a natural arch.
- More erosion from the sea and weathering can cause the arch to collapse, leaving a stack.
- Over time further weathering and erosion lead the stack to wear down to a stump
