A cape is a pointed piece of land that extends into a body of water, usually the sea. It is typically formed by erosion or the deposition of sediment along coastlines.
Capes vary in size, shape, and elevation, ranging from small, rocky promontories to large, prominent headlands. They often serve as navigational landmarks for sailors and may be associated with lighthouses or other maritime structures.
Capes also play important roles in shaping coastal geography and influencing ocean currents, weather patterns, and erosion processes.
