Which mechanism causes sea stack formation in stratified sedimentary rock?

💡 Explanation

Differential erosion creates sea stacks because weaker rock layers erode faster than resistant layers creating isolated pillars; therefore, the wave action degrades softer sediment rather than tectonic processes that do not directly form stacks.
