Solution

- Beaches: Land between two headlands. Because of the headlands, coast is somewhat protected from the onslaught of the waves.
- Sandbars: The landforms are produced due to deposition of sand on the sea coasts. Beach is one of them. The waves carry away the sand on the beaches.
- Lagoons: Lagoons are commonly divided into coastal lagoons and atoll lagoons. Both types of lagoon lakes are shallow and are separated from the main sea.
- Sea arches: The sea arches is the tall, rocky part of the sea that is formed by the action of the sea. These rocky beaches are usually created by continuous erosion of the waves and physical and chemical reactions to the rocks.
