These rocks are shaped by the tides, the strength of the rocks, and the presence of the joints in the rocks. The rock in the cliffs, from which the stacks are being cut, are arkosic sandstone and coarse, poorly sorted conglomerates. The tides that are eroding the cliffs are between and high on average. The bay receives the waters of several rivers, including: "New Brunswick" "Nova Scotia" The bay's extreme tidal range causes several interesting phenomena in the
