Erosion by sea waves and other currents and solution processes include cliffs, coves, caves, in­dented coastline, stacks, chimneys, arch, inlets, wave-cut platforms etc.

Name of the five formation/shape created by wave action are:

Cliffs:

Steep rocky coast rising almost vertically above sea water is called sea cliff which is very precipitous with overhanging crest . The steepness of true vertical cliffs depends on variations of lithology and geological structure and relative rate of sub-aerial weathering and erosion of cliff face and crest and marine erosion of cliff base.

Wave-Cut Platform:

Rock-cut flat surfaces in front of cliffs are called wave-cut platforms or simply shore platforms  which are slightly concave upward. The origin and development of wave-cut platforms is related to cliff recession. These are also called wave-cut benches.

Sea caves :

Sea caves are formed along the coast due to gradual erosion of weak and strongly jointed rocks by up-rushing breaker waves (surf currents). The joints are widened into large cavities and hollows which are further enlarged due to gradual wave erosion into well-developed coastal caves.

Arches:

An opening through a headland, formed by wave erosion or solution (as by the enlargement of a sea cave, or by the meeting of two sea caves from opposite sides), which leaves a bridge of rock over the water. Also known as marine arch; marine bridge; sea bridge.

Sea stack:

A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology.

These are the different types of formation and shapes created by Erosion by sea wave and other currents

Hurricane Sandy’s flooding of New York City highlighted the vulnerability of coastal cities to extreme weather events, which are
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Minimizing economic, environmental, and human costs related to extreme weather is a difficult problem for public infrastructure because New York´s geography feautures include 520 miles of shoreline, marshes, beaches,   harbors and waterfonts implying an big magnitude of costs requiring a wide  range of adaptive strategies  to bulid up resilience to hazard from extreme weather, but not as an immediate benefit.

Explanation:

New York has always been a waterfront city, therefore Hurricane Sandy’s significant flood and destruction reminded the governments on precedents around the world about extreme weather global complex issues that the city is facing as an urban  waterfront community.

New York City with its unique features, coped with storm´s coastal flooding disaster and recognizes it needs to cope with the challenges of increasing  risk that climate change, sea level rise and coastal storms involve. But the storm city´s resilience imply high-costs-strong measures to plan for coastal risks aid in short- and long-term robust infrastructure projects considering   the special design for waterfront communities by the means of making  the city safer and healthier, but still vibrant and prosperous, vital and sus tainable.

Although critical, planning for the future of these projects depends on budget management associated with each strategy for New York City comprehensive waterfront plan, as this framework requires gigantic public and  private investment for ensuring healthy waterways, a strong port, the ecological protection of nat ural habitats, the public’s enjoyment of the shoreline, and the economic benefits of  in our waterfront trying to understand the magnitude and benefits in the future and in case of disasters.
