Concordant coastline
A concordant coastline occurs where the bands of differing rock types run parallel to the coast. The outer hard rock (eg granite) provides a protective barrier to erosion of the softer rocks (eg clays) further inland. Sometimes the outer hard rock is punctured allowing the sea to erode the softer rocks behind. This creates a cove which is a circular area of water with a relatively narrow entrance way from the sea.
