Examples of short-term events are waves and hurricanes; a long-term event could be in the rise in sea level (Pilkey, Cooper, 2004). In Florida, hurricanes are common due to warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, thus creating massive amount of coastal erosion in…

Natural forces and the development boom are having serious implications on the landscape, flora and fauna of the Big Bonanza Coast. Erosion is when soil is broken down by natural forces over time and erosion usually happens in three actions - soil detachment, movement and disposition.
