What are formation of coastline shapes?

Coastline shapes are like the fingerprints of the sea and land working together over time.

Imagine you're playing with sand at the beach. The waves come in, splash around, and go out, that’s kind of what happens to coastlines. Over many years, the sea and the land keep doing this dance, which makes the coastline look different in places.

Waves are like a group of kids running toward the shore. When they hit the sand or rocks, they can smooth things out or make new shapes. If there’s a big rock in the way, waves might go around it and create coves, like little pockets on the beach.

Sometimes, the land itself moves. Like when you push your hands together in the sand to make a hill. Over time, the sea can wear away these hills or build up new ones, making the coastline look bumpy or straight.

It's like drawing with water and sand, not magic, just nature having fun!
