Which process shapes isolated sea stacks during high wave surges?

💡 Explanation

The process of hydraulic action and air compression breaks down the stack's structure because water force combined with compressed air exploits fractures, therefore accelerating erosion, rather than simple abrasion which requires sediment or dissolution which requires specific compositions.
