← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when persistent wave action erodes cliff foundations?
A)Formation of coastal sea cave✓
B)Increased rate of glacial calving
C)Submarine hydrothermal vent formation
D)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
The undercutting action results in the formation of sea caves because differential erosion weakens the rock; therefore causing cave formation, rather than calving or vent formation which involve independent thermal and tectonic conditions entirely.
