What the syllabus says Geological structure and rock type have a major influence on coastal development and landforms.

Coastal Features Headlands and Bays A headland is an area of land which juts out to sea and is surrounded by sea on three sides. Headlands form in coastlines.

Coasts. Wave erosion coasts formed by the force of waves as they strike the land the waves strike the land and pieces of rock are broken off the wave.

(a) Platforms and low cliffs formed in Cretaceous sandstones near Lorne, Australia. (a) Platforms and low cliffs formed in Cretaceous sandstones near Lorne, Australia. (b) High vertical cliffs fronted by narrow beaches characterize the rock coast of the 12 Apostles region of Victoria, Australia where Cenozoic limestones dominate the shore. (c) A stepped shore platform morphology on Lord Howe Island, Australia where more resistant basaltic dykes intrude between softer breccia units. (d) A classic washboard morphology of a shore platform in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. Harder sandstone units interbedded with softer mudstones project above the platform surface. David M.
