Rock stacks, sea-cut pillars and other coastal rock formations isolated or sculpted by waves, spray and weathering at the shore. A landform belongs here when its cited article describes a stack, coastal rock formation or chalk or sandstone stump on a coast. It excludes inland pillars and towers, which are placed with the rock pillars group, and excludes natural arches. Stacks form as waves cut caves and arches in headlands and the roof finally collapses, leaving a detached column of resistant rock.
