Wave Cut Platforms

Wave Cut Platforms

1. Process

   • High and low tide erotion
     • Platform underneath low tide
   • Wave Cut notch
     • Leaves a cliff overhang
       • Eventually will become too heavy and collapse
   • Cliff retreated
     • Part fallen now Wave Cut Platform

2. When its exposed

   • Can't be eroded at low tide as it is under it
     • At high tide it will be eroded because at the bottom of the wave
   • When as at low tide the rock is higher than the water so it is revealed.
   • Waves will break further out due to friction occurring
