A '''sea cave''', also known as a '''littoral cave''', is a type of [[cave]] formed primarily by the [[wave]] action of the [[sea]].  The primary process involved is erosion.  Sea caves are found throughout the world, actively forming along present coastlines and as relict sea caves on former coastlines. Some of the largest wave-cut caves in the world are found on the coast of Norway, but are(contracted; show full)

Life within sea caves may assist in their enlargement as well. For example, [[sea urchins]] drill their way into the rock, and over successive generations may remove considerable bedrock from the floors and lower walls.

Most sea caves are small in relation to other cave types. A current compilation of sea-cave surveys [http://www.caverbob.com/seacave.html Long sea caves of the world] shows three over 300 meters, 15 over 200 meters, and 85 over 100 meters in length. In Norway, several apparently relict sea caves exceed 300 meters in length. There is no doubt that many other large sea caves exist but have not be(contracted; show full){{Caves}}
