sea cave

sea cave:

A sea cave is a tunnel or passage in the rock at the foot of a cliff.

  • If the rock has a weak spot like a crack, the waves will atack by hydraulic action, compressed air and abrasion.
  • The crack gets larger and develops into a cave.

sea arch :

A sea arch is a passage that runs through a headland.

  • If the cave is deepened and enlarged by erosion, it may cut through to the other side of the headland to form a sea arch.
  • A sea arch may also form if two caves on opposite sides of a headland meet.

sea stack

sea stack

A sea stack is a pillar of rock that is cut off from the headland or cliff.

  • When the waves erode the base of the sea arch, they widen it.
  • Eventually the roof is unable to support itself and it collapses, the former tip of the headland cut off as a sea stack.
  • Sea caves, sea arches and sea stacks can all be seen close together at Hook Head in Co.Wexford and at the Bridges of Ross in Co.Clare.
