	Arches; Channel Islands; Channel Islands National Park; Differential Erosion; Erosion Features; Geomorphology; Littoral Erosion; Resistant Rock; Sea Stacks; Shore Features; Shore Features; Shorelines; Wave Erosion; Wave Erosion; Waves	Ocean waves have eroded the perimeter of the island, creating steep sea cliffs towering hundreds of feet in height and exposing the volcanic origins of air pockets, lava tubes, and sea caves. At the east end of Anacapa a natural bridge has formed in the ocean. Forty-foot high Arch Rock is a trademark of Anacapa and Channel Islands National Park.

	Coastal Environment; Differential Erosion; Erosion; Erosion Features; Geomorphology; Intertidal Environment; Landforms; Littoral Environment; Sea Stacks; Wave Erosion	Here at Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, wave action has eroded the headland leaving these more resistant rocks still exposed. Although not classical sea stacks due to their slanted structure, the process is the same.
