رأس كورنوال

رأس تيسان في محافظة مرسين، هجريا

في الجغرافيا، رأس cape هوheadland or promontory of large size extending into a body of water, usually the sea. 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.^{[بحاجة لمصدر]}
