Abstract
Abstract Most landforms on rocky coasts are the result of erosion, although these coasts often host a variety of sandy to boulder beaches, as well as functioning as an important source of sediment for adjacent coastal areas. The erosional processes and mechanisms, including mechanical wave erosion, weathering, bioerosion, and various types of mass movement, produce landforms such as bays and headlands, sea cliffs, shore platforms, and arches, stacks, and caves. Many types of rock coast develop very slowly and may have been inherited, in part, from previous interglacial stages when sea level was similar to today.
