... Coastal Features in the Gower The Gower Peninsular is in Wales, near Swansea. The coast is made up of many different coastal features which have altered the landscape. The rock on the map is a wave cut platform and that is where the original coast was but erosion has caused the coast to retreat. You will be able to see stacks, stumps and arches along the southern coast, these are caused by corrosion, corrosion and hydraulic action. Initially a cave is formed; there are many caves along the coast, including Worms Head Cave. Worms Head Cave is actually positioned on a stack. After the cave has formed it is widened and deepened until the sea forms a natural arch. Waves continue eroding the arch until eventually the roof of the arch collapses and leaves part of the original cliff, this is the stack. This eventually erodes down also leaving just a stump. A spit is visible
