Which outcome occurs when wave actions continuously undercut a coastal cliff composed of sedimentary rock?

💡 Explanation

A wave-cut platform forms because the mechanism, hydraulic action, weathers softer rock at the cliff base, therefore the cliff retreats and produces a flat surface at sea level, rather than increased deposition distant marsh growth.
