Which feature forms when a sea cave opens on both sides?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sea arch
The correct answer is Sea arch. Continued wave erosion enlarges a sea cave through a headland or coastal rock mass until the opening breaks through to the opposite side. The remaining rock above the passage forms an arch. This is part of the typical sequence cave to arch to stack to stump, although the exact sequence may vary with rock structure. A delta and loess are depositional, while a U-shaped valley is glacial.
