The Earth is a dynamic, ever changing planet. The interaction between the hydrosphere and the lithosphere reshapes the surface over and over again. It is a constant process of building up and tearing down. While we aren't alive for all the changes, the evidence is around us, and we use models to simulate the long term changes.Let's explore six geologic processes in our workbook.

Coastline Erosion
WAVE-CUT PLATFORM
HEADLANDS
Large crack opened by hydraulic action.
The cave becomes larger.
The arch is eroded and collapses.
The stack is eroded forming a stump.
The crack grows into a cave from hydraulic action and abrasion.
The cave breaks through the headland forming a natural arch.
This leaves a tall rock stack.
