    • Hydraulic power

      Waves crash against rock and compress the air within the cracks, putting pressure on the rock and widening the cracks, causing bits of rock to break off

    • Abrasion

      Eroded particles in the water scrape and rub against the rock, removing small pieces of the seabed

    • Attrition

      Eroded particles in the water collide and break into smaller pieces, becoming more rounded
