Old Harry Rocks are located on the headland between Swanage and Studland Bay. The headland is made out of chalk, a hard rock. The headland sticks out into the sea, so it is more vulnerable to high-energy destructive waves. This caused the formation of Old Harry, a stack. Over time Old Harry will collapse to form a stump.

Barton On Sea
-
Barton-on-Sea is located in Christchurch Bay in Hampshire.
Christchurch Bay has long been affected by coastal erosion and cliff collapse, a number of buildings and a café have been lost to the sea.
Lulworth Cove
The entrance to the cove is narrow where the waves have cut through weaknesses in the resistant limestone. Then the cove widens where the softer clays have been more easily eroded by destructive waves. At the back of the cove is a band of more resistant chalk, so erosion is a slower process here.
Lulworth Cove is situated on the south coast of England, on a concordant coastline.
