formation of wave cut platforms

• Waves attack the bottom of the cliff
• Eventually a wave-cut notch is formed
• At the same time weathering attacks and weakens the top of the cliff.
• The weakened cliff is left unsupported and eventually collapses
• Once the sea has removed the fallen rocks it can start the process again.
• The cliff will move back and leave a rocky platform at the base called a wave-cut platform.
