		Headlands and bays are normally found in areas that are made up of a mixture of rock types.
		Headlands and bays are normally found in areas that are made up of a mixture of soft and hard rock that erode at different rates.

	Headlands and bays
		Headlands and bays are usually, but not always, found together on the same stretch of coastline.
		Headlands and bays form on concordant coastlines, where bands of rock of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the coast.
		Bays 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) forming a headland, or peninsula.

	Headlands and bays - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Headlands are made of hard rock and bays are made of soft rock and it takes the hard rock longer to erode.
		A bay is a recess or inlet in the shore of a sea or lake between two headlands.
		Bays form where weak rocks, such as sands and clays, are eroded, leaving bands of stronger rocks, such as chalk, limestone, or granite, forming a headland, or peninsula.

		Bays are formed when the coastline has varying degrees of resistance to the eroding effect of water; the terms gulf and sea refer to bays formed by tectonic movement of the Earth's crust.
		A headland is land surrounded by water on three sides: a large headland is a peninsula, promontories are long, narrow and high headlands; a cape is a headland that signicantly affects ocean currents.
		The Bay and Gulf of Bothnia are arms of the Baltic Sea between the east coast of Sweden and the west coast of Finland; the Gulf of Finland extends from the Baltic between Finland and Estonia.

	Headlands and bays Information
		A bay generally occupies an area wider than a fjord but smaller than a sound or gulf, either of which may include one or more bays.
		Headlands and bays are usually found together on the same stretch of coastline.
		Usually these bays are referred to as seas or gulfs and not bays.

	Oceans & Coastlines - Wave Action
		Sediment eroded from the headlands are deposited in the relatively quiet waters of the bays to form beaches.
		The coastline is straightened as erosion wears away the headlands and the bays are filled with sediment (Fig.
		Wave erosion is concentrated on headlands and bays become areas of deposition.

		Finally (Sasso and Shah, 2001, the possible impacts of headland construction on the waves and currents were examined to determine the effects of the structures on the existing longshore currents and the corresponding littoral drift in the region).
		Sand was stockpiled at the 32nd Street construction area and was graded seaward to conform to the headlands and bays.
		The shape of the bay has been stable since construction, and consistent with expectations, the slope of the profile has adjusted to one that is less steep.

	Headlands and bays - Definition, explanation
		Large headlands may also be called peninsulas, long, narrow and high headlands promontories.
		Headlands and bays form on discordant coastlines, where bands of rock of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the coast.
		Sometimes bays form where movements of the earth's crust (tectonics) bring areas of land together, or move them apart.

	Coastal erosion
		Less resistant rock is eroded more quickly and forms bays, while the more resistant rock is left outcropping in the sea forming headlands.
		A discordant coastline is a type of coastline characterised by a series of bays and headlands.
		Coastlines with different rock arrangement such as concordant coastlines are less prone to the formation of bays and headlands.

	Introduction to Pakistan: Section 5: Coastline
		The coast is rugged and tectonic in origin as evidenced by the uplifted terraces, headlands and fluted beds.
		Headlands are prominent in Jiwani, Pisukan, Gawadar Rasjaddi and Ormara, and are intervened by low-lying places comprised of alluvial deposits.
		Bays and lagoons are protected bodies of water surrounded by land having an opening into the sea.

	SHORELINE PROCESSES AND THE EVOLUTION OF COASTAL LANDFORMS
		Built of material eroded by waves from the headlands, and material brought down by rivers that carry the products of weathering and erosion from the land masses.
		A narrow ridge or embankment of sediment forming a finger-like projection from the shore into the open ocean.
		Therefore the waves inside adjacent bays have lower energy and as a result sediments are deposited in the bays.

	Coastal Processes and Landforms
		A coast embayed with numerous estuaries (bays) is likely to be a shoreline of submergence.
		Headlands and bays often represent rocks of alternating resistance.
		Headlands, which protrude into the ocean are attacked by waves changing direction and converging on the headlands, a process known as refraction.

	COASTAL EROSION
		Headlands with vertical cliffs concentrate energy by wave refraction.
		Headlands and Bays: Mostly form in areas of varying rock resistance, firstly the rocks of lower resistance are eroded, forming bays and leaving headlands where there are outcrops of more resistant rock.
		These headlands then receive the higher energy waves and thus a beach develops in the bay, further protecting it from erosion.

		John C. Kennedy's People of the Bays and Headlands examines the history and fate of nearly 3000 people who live in one of the eleven communities scattered along the 300-kilometre stretch of coastline in southeastern Labrador.
		Their story is one of economic change, community growth and decline, and apprehension for the future now that the fish stocks, their source of livelihood, have disappeared.
		The earliest settler economy was largely subsistent, fragile, and mobile, as the settlers moved seasonally between their summer fishing stations on the headlands and their family-based winter homes in the bays.

	Coastal Erosion Landforms
		These are alternating bands of more and less resistant rock and are exaggerated and destroyed by wave action (may not be a large difference but will show after a long period of time).
		Due to wave refraction energy will be less concentrated on the hard rock (headlands) and this will slow down the erosion of the bay.
		Also featured is a circular bay due to the Wealdon Beds that are soft and easily eroded.
