Cape (geography) : ウィキペディア英語版
Cape (geography)

In geography, a cape is a headland or a promontory of large size extending into a body of water, usually the sea.〔Whittow, John (1984). ''Dictionary of Physical Geography''. London: Penguin, 1984, p. 80. ISBN 0-14-051094-X.〕
A cape usually represents a marked change in trend of the coastline. Their proximity to the coastline makes them prone to natural forms of erosion, mainly tidal actions. This results in capes having a relatively short geologic lifespan. Capes can be formed by glaciers, volcanoes, and changes in sea level. Erosion plays a large role in each of these methods of formation.
