Landform

Landforms Introduction In this week’s assignment we are asked to first describe the hydrologic cycle and apply it to where we live. Second we are asked to choose either a glacial landscape or a desert landscape and describe how the chosen landscape is formed and features that are found in the landscape. Then finally relate the chosen landscape to the hydrologic cycle. Hydrologic Cycle and Where I Live For this week’s assignment we were given the task to explain in our own words the hydrologic…

Spreading along the east and gulf coast of the United States of America are unique geologic formations known as barrier islands. Not only are these landforms neat to visit, but also they have the important role of protecting the coastline by reducing the effects storm winds and waves can have. Barrier Islands, like Assateague Island, can form in different ways, but all are constantly undergoing changes from various factors. The focus of this paper will be how barrier islands form and move, these…

Costal Management Bondi Beach Coastal Processes – Costal Processes are the variety of ways that landforms are made and shaped. The Costal Process come under two different sections, Erosion and Accretion, Erosion is “the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents” and Accretion is “growth or increase by the gradual accumulation of additional layers or matter”. Erosion comes in many forms but the 5 main forms of Erosion regarding to Costal Process are: 1.…

This report presents a number of findings that are based on the natural landscape of The Spit, such as the geomorphic processes that have shaped The Spit and the geographical features. The Spit contains many geographical features, both natural and built. A natural geographical feature that was identified was headlands. These boulders were being constantly eroded due to abrasion waves, causing bits of rock and sand in the waves to grind down surfaces of the rock. Other natural features sighted…

I had swam into the hidden undersea cave that contained my human clothing. Last evening I’d had a vision; I would find my lifemate in the area above the sea caves.

I have never been to this island, but I have a friend who when there more than a year ago and what she told me is a spectacular place, that is the reason why I consider it as a paradise. This island is formed by an extinct volcano shaped like a castle where its valleys bloom hibiscus while the palm trees cover it, the perfect white sand beaches give way to the turquoise waters that are crystal…

Article 1: Coastal erosion and the ban on hard structures In this article it mainly talks about the controversy and problems with coastal erosion and the ban on hard structures. A rule was put into place to help preserve the beaches. People are helping to contribute to the coastline and its problems. Erosion is an easy thing to notice when at the beach. When waves crash they are not crashing in straight lines. Instead they crash horizontally. This is what is causing sand to be having non-stop…

The Australian coastline is a dynamic environment, dominated by ocean processes, the movement of sediments, and presence of marine ecosystems. Understanding of coastal process is required to manage while increasing demand humans place on coast. The field trip was conducted in some beaches selected (Sellick beach, Aldingga Beach, Port Noarlungga and Brighton Beach) to present a variety of types of coast, which have variations in the natural processes and human activities occurring along the…
