This leaves a flat area called a wave-cut platform.
The cliff above the notch becomes unstable and weakens.
The notch deepens as waves continue to erode the rock.
Waves hit the base of the cliff, applying pressure on the rock.
Eventually, the cliff collapses due to lack of support.
The process is repeated as the cliff retreats.
Wave energy erodes the rock at the base, forming a notch.
Think about the sequence; what causes the erosion and what is the product of erosion?
