Narrow, inlet in cliff face from collapse of geo roof with tunnelrunning 90* reaches surface.

Impact of Geology
Strata horizontal = cliff profile vertical. Strata sewawardly dips = cliff profile follows to look like slide. Strata landwardly dips = rocks are more difficult to dislodge.

Weathering.
Mechanical (freeze thaw), chemical (algae releasing CO^2 into sea), biological (tree growing from cracks of a boulder).
3 of 6
Cliff/shore platform
Foot of cliff under utter repeated, creates wave cut notch. No support for upper strata, collapses under gravity. Debris removed by waves.
4 of 6
Deflation
Winds picking up dry soil, eroding soil. Harder with wet soil as moisture sticks particles together.
5 of 6
Headlands and Bays
Softer rock eroded quickly (bays), harder rocks more resistant and erode more slowly (headland), outcrops aid in wave refraction thus make waves bend to slow down in shallow waters.
