Arch, Natural Bridges State Park, Santa Cruz, California

Pacific Ocean waves crash up against the one remaining arch in Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz, California. There used to be three arches. Arches form when waves continually pound a weak spot in the rock, wearing a hole through it. Over time, continued erosion enlarges the hole so much that the overlying rock can no longer be supported and the arch collapses.
