How is a coastal wave-cut platform formed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: क्लिफ के आधार पर लगातार लहर-कटाव और उसके पीछे हटने से
A wave-cut platform is a gently sloping rocky surface at the foot of a retreating sea cliff. Repeated hydraulic action and abrasion attack the cliff base near the water level, producing a wave-cut notch. As the notch enlarges, the overhanging rock collapses and the cliff retreats, leaving the former shore platform exposed. Therefore, option C is correct.
