Bays and Headlands What is a headland? A headland is a cliff that sticks out into the sea and is surrounded by water on three sides. Headlands are formed from hard rock, that is more resistant to erosion, such as limestone, chalk and granite.. Headlands form along discordant coastlines where bands of soft and hard rock outcrop at a right angle to the …

These types of limestone, described in more detail below, are biochemical sedimentary rocks. Limestone is often light to dark gray, or tan, and it can be scratched by a penny. Limestone is composed of calcium carbonate (calcite, (CaCO 3) and dolomite (CaMg(CO 3) 2). This rock will strongly fizz when exposed to dilute hydrochloric acid.

Caves in limestone form by the chemical dissolution of the rock. Water is always the agent for cave development. Very rarely does physical abrasion by gravel in moving water play a role in cave formation. Lehman Caves formed mostly by chemical means.

Cliffs are generally formed in one of three ways: through weathering, through erosion, or from tectonic activity. Tectonic activity refers to the movement of the Earth's crust, and this kind of activity is responsible for notable cliffs like the White Cliffs of Dover. Tectonic activity can also lead to the formation of cliffs from escarpments.
