A wave-cut platform is a flat or gently sloping surface found at the base of a sea cliff, formed through the erosional processes of waves. It is typically located above the high tide line and is created by the repetitive action of waves impacting the shore, eroding the rock and sediment. As waves crash against a cliff, they can erode the base of the cliff through hydraulic action, abrasion, and the chemical weathering of rocks.
