The diagrams below show the stages in the erosion of a headland.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram shows the changes appearance of headland as a result of erosion.
The changing formation of headlands started from the hole which is formed in its bottom part as the result of wave attack. This bottom part is quite fragile as its component is too weak to restrain the power of the wave. As the wave hits the headlands gradually, the hole which looks like cave gets bigger and bigger. A big cave then forms an arch. Durdle Door and Dorset are two kinds of this erosion process. A continued attack strung out the roof of the arch collapses then separate a small part of headland which is called stack. It is caused by the ability of the water reach this higher position at high tide. Time by time, that stack becomes shorter by removing its top gradually then forms a stump beside it.
The pictures clearly show the continual process of reforming headland appearance which is mainly caused by erosion.
