Describe the formation of the wave cut platform

  1. String wave attacks create a notch at the cliff face

  2. Continued erosion caused the cliff to collapse, leaving a rock platform

  3. There is usually a series of shallow steps, they are usually covered with debris & absorb wave energy so cloud erosion may cease.
