What is a hollow space formed in coastal rocks by waves called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sea cave
The correct answer is Sea cave. Waves exploit cracks, joints, and other weak zones at the base of a coastal cliff. Hydraulic pressure, abrasion by rock fragments, and repeated wave impact enlarge these openings until a hollow chamber develops inside the cliff. If erosion continues, a cave may become an arch, then a stack after collapse. An oxbow lake is fluvial, a barchan is wind-built, and a moraine is glacial.
