Promontory Sròn a Chorra Bhuilg, a typical promontory, in the Scottish Highlands. A promontory is a raised mass of land that projects into a lowland or a body of water (in which case it is a peninsula). Most promontories either are formed from a hard ridge of rock that has resisted the erosive forces that have removed the softer rock to the sides of it, or are the high ground that remains between two river valleys where they form a confluence.

Headlands and baysupdate Headlands and bays are often found on the same coastline. A bay is surrounded by land on three sides, whereas a headland is surrounded by water on three sides.Headlands are characterized by high, breaking waves, rocky shores, intense erosion, and steep sea cliffs.Bays generally have less wave (and often wind) activity than the water outside the bay and typically have sandy beaches.ays form where weak (less resistant) rocks (such as sands and clays) are eroded, leaving bands of stronger (more resistant) rocks (such as chalk, limestone, granite), which form a headland or peninsula.

IGCSE Coasts and GCSE Coasts The coast or the coastline is the border between the land and the sea. The coasts are very important because they have many uses for humans, but they are also under threat because of humans.oasts being at the boundary of the land and the sea are extremely vulnerable to erosion. They are attacked by the immense power of the sea and the weather. Later you will look at one of the fastest eroding coastlines in the world; the Holderness coastline in NE England which is eroding at over 2 metres a year.

Landforms of erosion Landforms of erosion. Headlands and bays. Headlands and bays most commonly form along discordant coastlines. Discordant coastlines form where geology alternates between bands of hard and soft rock (see image below). As soft rock, such as glacial till, is more susceptible to erosion it erodes more rapidly than more resistant rock such as chalk. This results in the formation of headlands and bays. Bays and headlands along a discordant coastline.
