Moreover, the minimum recorded wind (out of the maximum wind speeds) occurs at 50m with 1.5 m/s towards the beach. Whilst the maximum wind speed occurs on the beach side of the dune, at approximately 4.35 m/s towards the beach. Hence, the results for this be a vague inverse resemblance of the topography profile in figure…

Sanibel Island, Florida, has over 47 tropical storms hammering across their coast each year. It all starts with the dark clouds rising rapidly over the horizon of the ocean and ends with shattered windows and fallen trees. We all knew we could not escape a tropical storm coming our way, so instead we buckled down to wait it out. The sights, the feelings, and the sounds of the storm are just beginning.…
The reading that is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii is Article 1 “Hawaii The Land of Many” because it involves more of the plantation life and what the laborers do, while in Article 2 it speaks about the demise of the sugar industry in Hawaii. It states in Article 1 paragraph 2 that the bulk of immigrants coming to Hawaii began in the mid 1800s. Hawaii’s sugar industry was booming hastily, and sugar plantation owners were in need of more workers. Quoted from article 1, “Disease, introduced by foreign traders, had wiped out a large population of the islands’ inhabitants.” Those who managed to elude the epidemics were reluctant to work the long hours- 10 to 14 hours a day- that…

Sand dune erosion is occurring on the Cronulla coastline due to the coupling of human and natural impacts and is gradually resulting in the beach being less able to be protect itself from natural implications. The constant sand dune erosion is creating a steeper slope this is allowing waves and winds to rapidly remove sand from the dunes. The sand dune erosion is destroying habitats from plants and animals, this is substantially decreasing the biodiversity on the coastal environment. Sand dune erosion is resulting in loose sand to be blown from the dunes because the vegetation has been removed, this is impacting the coastal environment as it is removing all vegetation causing a significant reduction in the biodiversity which is also disrupting the natural processes for the coastal ecosystem. As the sand dunes are eroding since the waves and winds are removing the sand from the shore, the loss of sand results in the beach becoming narrower and closer to the residents.…
It has many different colors of sand making it look way better. Another would be the three miles of hiking trails. In these trails you could witness…
These Hawaiian Islands have been inhabited for centuries before the first ships sailed across the Pacific. Hawaiian Islands have been shrouded in mystery since their history had been passed along vocally for centuries. Hawaiian culture hasn’t changed drastically ever since they inhabited the islands, until European and American explorers discovered the islands. This pair interested me the most because both nations have two completely different identities, but the Hawaiian Islands later become part of the United States. These nations have completely different history, religion, clothing, culture, and many more.…
These reefs are responsible for making many of the things that make Hawaii a traveler 's and adventure 's paradise possible. The reef 's ecosystem creates a habitat for the fish and other marine life that make Hawaii a seafood lover 's dream. The reefs also block giant waves from destroying the state 's world-class beaches. In other places, the reefs channel and shape the waves into those sought by surfers and other wave enthusiasts the world over. This does not even address the great beauty the reefs share with snorkelers and divers each and every…
Hertha looked for a hypothesis about the formation of sand ripples. In 1907 she beacame a active person in the wommen sufrage. She then beacame a member of the women's social and political unit. Hertha beacame one of the largest contributers in the WSPU.…
March 29, 2009 was the day when I first stepped in the Islands of Hawaii. While looking around the airport, there was one thing in my mind. “Is Hawaii really a paradise?” Throughout my stay here, I discovered the answer to this question. While going towards our gate number, I saw hula dancers dancing passionately, and giving happiness to passengers who see them.…

I was expecting for Hawaii and the plantation to be an easy way to make a fortune and live in a good environment. Sadly, my expectations were not met as we were paid 16$ per month which was totally unfair. Also the housing they provided was uncomfortable because the houses were old and had no lights. We also worked long and hard 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. Our work was to plant, plough, and load the sugarcane.…
