Which feature may provide evidence of an old shoreline after sea cliff retreat?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A raised or relict wave-cut platform
Waves cut a nearly level platform at the base of a sea cliff through repeated erosion. If the cliff retreats, the platform may be left inland; uplift or a relative fall in sea level can place it above the present shoreline. Such a raised or relict wave-cut platform records an earlier position of the coast, so option A is correct. Eskers, ponors, and potholes have different origins.
