The correct answer is sea arches. Sea arches are a landform that is evidence of erosion by waves on rocky coasts. Over time, the relentless pounding of waves against the rocks can weaken and erode them, forming arch-shaped openings.
The correct answer is sea arches. Sea arches are formed through the erosional force of waves on rocky coasts. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options by considering their characteristics and relevance to wave erosion.
1. Shallow ponds: Shallow ponds are not typically associated with wave erosion on rocky coasts. They are more commonly found in low-lying areas and may be formed by other factors such as precipitation or groundwater.
2. U-shaped valleys: U-shaped valleys are not directly related to wave erosion. They are typically formed by glaciers and are commonly found in areas where glaciers have carved through mountains.
3. Sand dunes: Sand dunes are shaped by wind action rather than wave erosion. They are formed when wind transports and deposits sand in a specific location.
By process of elimination, we can conclude that sea arches are the landform most likely evidence of erosion by waves on rocky coasts.
