How Long Is Coastal Eroding?

Improved Essays
Is the coastal eroding?
Yes, along with the power of the waves and wind the coast is eroding. The coast is not only eroding because of the water and wind, it’s also eroding because of human activity. The one activity that we do causing erosion is dredging; it’s when we get shipped to us. The ships cause waves to hit the coast.
Is there any other planet that is habitable?
NASA’s space telescope has found planets that could be the second “earth”. They found an earth sized planet orbiting the “habitable zone”. Even though it’s in the “habitable zone” it does not mean it could be habitable. There are 40 billon earths like planets orbiting the “habitable zone”, but there’s no evidence that humans could live there.
Is Neptune covered in water?
Neptune is known as the “Ice giant”. It is called the ice giant because it contains large portions of water and ice. Astronomers say

50 to 80 percent of all life on earth is in the ocean, and only 10% of the ocean has been explored by humans. We have explored 90% of the earth’s ocean; we haven’t been able to go much further because of the deepness and the pressure. We have only mapped 5% of the ocean.
Can volcanoes form mountains?
Yes, they are called volcanic mountains. Volcanic mountains form when the tectonic plates push against each other (beneath or above). When the magma cools off it forms a volcanic mountain, it’s pushed up and it could become big or become small depending if it rises or lowers.
How does hot springs work?
The water in the hot spring is heated geothermallly; it gets heated from the earth’s mantle. Hot springs spit out groundwater. Not only are they heated by the mantle, they are also heated by magma in volcanic places.
Can do we have oceans?
There’s a theory that the oceans formed because water escaped water vapor and other gases. The earth surface cooled and then it started raining for centuries and the oceans grew bigger and bigger over

    There are many reasons that make Connecticut's landscape/surface got its shape. The three most important reasons are tectonic plates, glaciation, and weathering and erosion. Tectonic plates in CT formed three major landforms. One of the three landforms is the Appalachian mountains. This mountain range is a convergent boundary.…

    As there is infrastructure which has been built on the primary sections of the dunes it can be dangerous as it is threatening the infrastructures stability making it a higher risk for the residents and the people in the wider community when it comes to sand dune erosion. This is consequently because the waves can damage the infrastructure causing their foundation to weaken against the rapid effects of sand dune…

    Yellowstone Supervolcano: Case Study WHAT IS IT? The term “supervolcano” stands for an eruption of magnitude 8 on the Volcano Explosivity Index, indicating an eruption of more than 1,000 cubic kilometres (250 cubic miles) of magma. Yellowstone has had at least three past eruptions: The three being, 2.1 million years ago, 1.2 million years ago and 640,000 years ago, were about 2,500 times larger than the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State.…

Which has caused deaths of fish and birds. As well as embryo defects to the fish residents of the Salton Sea. Making the Salton Sea a death trap instead of a safe substitution of the past wetlands. 2.…

    Current event article number one; Incredible facts about liquid Igneous rock Cullen Croghan Ivy Tech Community College Gemma Tarlach author of the article “Twenty Things You Didn’t Know About Lava” that I found from the magazine Discover did a very nice job talking about lava and the variations of it. Although she’s not a full-blown geologist she did a nice job with information very close to that of what’s been inscribed into our text books and what’s been told to us in class. After reading the article I did some research on Gemma Tarlach to see what made her qualified to be able to write a paper about the lava and its different types, while still having credible facts to back up the article. I couldn’t find much on her except that she works…

    Neptune is one of the four large planets in our Solar System known as Gas Giants. It is the eighth planet in order from the Sun, and was seen through a telescope for the first time on the 23rd of September 1846. Keeping to the traditional naming system used for all the previous planets, Neptune was given its name based on the Roman god of the sea, in reference to Greek and Roman mythology. General Information: Neptune has a vivid blue colouration to its layer of cloud cover. Higher absorption levels of red light caused by methane in its atmosphere is thought to be the cause of this bright blue tint.…

    If we drained the mid-oceanic ridge of the Atlantic Ocean to see what it looked like it would just a big canyon filled with magma, and mountains that are slowly moving. This is because the mid-oceanic ridge of the Atlantic Ocean has a divergent plate boundary(also know as constructive plate margins,or they are called spreading centers), with means the plates are pulling apart from each other causing fractures to be created. The fracture are filled with molten rock(magma) that arises from the mantle to fill in the void of the ripped crust,then the molten rock from the mantle, then it starts to slowly cool over time to form new parts of seafloor(this process is called sea-floor spreading).While, new sea-floor is constanstly being made, but its,also…

But something else happened, a huge breakthrough for the marine science world. An expedition to the Galápagos Rift revealed hydrothermal vents, and along with it new and unknown creatures that somehow has survived in very harsh conditions. Hydrothermal vents are most commonly found along mid-oceanic ridges, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Galápagos Rift.…

    There are over 1500 active volcanoes is the world. Sometimes we do not know when a volcano is going to erupt, but most of the times the volcano itself gives early signs of eruption. Some of those signs are small earthquakes beneath the volcano, swelling or increase heat and gases coming out of the volcano. A volcano is a mountain or hill, having a crater or vent where lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gases are being released from the earth's crust. One of the many active volcanos in the world is Mount Agung.…
