Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wave-cut platforms, sea caves, and sea arches are all common erosional shoreline features caused by the pounding of waves against the coast. Sea stacks are also a common feature, but they are not listed in any of the answer choices. Beaches and barrier islands are not erosional features, as they are formed by the deposition of sediment. Sea spits are formed by sediment deposition as well, so they are not a correct option. Atolls are circular coral reef formations in open ocean, not typically found along shoreline.
