Which process is necessary for the formation of a wave-cut platform?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cutting of a rocky coast and retreat of a sea cliff
A wave-cut platform is a gently sloping rocky surface left at the foot of a retreating sea cliff. Repeated wave attack erodes the cliff base, creates a notch, and causes collapse of the upper material. As the cliff retreats landward, the former shore platform becomes exposed. Meltwater deposition, river processes, and groundwater pillars produce different landforms, so option A is correct.
