Which mechanism limits formation period of sea stacks?

💡 Explanation

Sea stacks form via differential erosion; weaker rock erodes at an accelerated rate, sculpting landforms, because wave action undermines less-resistant strata. Therefore, stack lifetime is limited by the composition, rather than rebound which elevates land irrespective of structure.
