Common mistake

Misunderstanding Erosion Landforms

Students often confuse the characteristics of headlands and bays, thinking they are the same landform.

To fix this, students should study the formation processes of each landform, noting that headlands are formed by erosion of harder rock, while bays are areas where softer rock has eroded more quickly.
