Which outcome occurs when sandstone cliffs experience intensified wave action?

💡 Explanation

Differential erosion causes sea cave formation because weaker rock strata erode faster than more resistant layers, therefore caves form where wave energy concentrates along zones of structural weakness, rather than other outcomes such as uniform erosion.
