description of terrain”G |

Wave erosion terrain is formed by natural power, the destructive
effect of water movement on land. Along the cost of Magong City,
the wave erosion platform exposed at downs becomes the place for
residents to do tidal flat activities. The places such as
Shihwei, Chungkung, Kuanyin Pavilion and Sokang etc. are all
typical landscape of wave erosion platform. The wave erosion gap
and wave erosion cavity terrain of Fengkuei Neighborhood are
also ones of the scenic spots in Magong City. Whenever the water
is up, the wave push one after another, and the waves flow along
wave erosion gap pouring on rock cavity. After the air in the
cavity is squeezed, it will make sounds from fissures sometimes
with the ejection of water pillars. There is a wave erosion arch
on the south side of Sokang”¦s wave erosion platform and another
one on the foot of Shangshui”¦ West Mountain. |

geological description”G |

These wave erosion terrains are mostly composed of basalts. The
formation of wave erosion platform comes from that the waves
continually washed away the coast. Over a long period of time,
the cliffs collapsed and became a flat tableland almost as high
as the sea level. They are mostly basalts or volcanic breccia
with a lot of holes. Wave erosion gap is that rocks along the
coast were eroded from the part of joints surface that was more
easily eroded by wave invasion and therefore expanded gradually.
If the wave eroded in aspect, it can be eroded into a trench
like oceanic trench. And the formation of wave erosion cavity is
because that the rocks are weaker, such as deposited rocks, or
the rocks with more joints. Waves invaded deeply along the weak
area of the rocks and therefore formed the terrain. Furthermore,
the wave erosion arch is formed because the both sides of the
rocks which stretching into the sea were eroded and the wave
erosion cavities on both sides were passing through.
