Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A terrace is an uplifted wave-cut platform. This landform is created by erosion from waves and other coastal processes over long periods of time. As sea level drops or the land is uplifted, the former wave-cut platform is left as a level or gently sloping surface, known as a terrace. The other options are not correct because sea stacks are isolated columns of rock that form from erosion of headlands, a massive tsunami would create a different type of erosion and deposition, and a foreshore dune is a type of sand dune located on the beach.
