Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erosional retreat of a wave-cut cliff leads to the formation of a wave-cut platform. As the cliff retreats, the platform extends inland and enlarges. A wave-cut tombolo is a sandbar connecting an island to the mainland, a wave-cut barrier beach is a beach parallel to the coast, and an offshore wave-cut breakwater bar is a submerged feature that helps to protect the coastline.
