2. What is a slump?
- A slump is where material shifts with a rotation
- Where material shifts down
3. Explain how stacks are formed.
- When headlands get eroded, it becomes cracked. As it expands, the crack becomes a cave. Due to further erosion, the cave becomes an arch. Erosion keeps wearing away the rock so the material is unsupported and collapses, leaving a stack.
- Headlands get eroded until a bit of land is separated from the headland.
