While Seawalls do that Breakwaters on the other hand slow down erosion by doing the same thing and on top of that Breakwaters carrying sediments between the Breakwater rock structure and the Beach.

Coal Industries Coal-fired power plants are the leading contributors to the crisis of water pollution. The coal industry has dumped more toxins into the waters across the country than the other top nine industries combined (Closing the Floodgates 2013). A total of 5.5 billion pounds of water pollution have been released into the water by coal power plants each year. Millions of gallons per day of water laced with arsenic, mercury, selenium, and lead are dumped into rivers, streams, and lakes…

that people have become used to. Fossil fuels are sources of energy derived from animal and plant remains from more than 300 million years ago (U.S. Department of Energy 2013). These remains were then coated with combinations of clay and rock called sediment (Energy Quest 2012). Sedimentary rock effectively protected the hydrocarbons in fossil fuels because it is inorganic and does not contain any carbon (NMOGA 2015). This applies pressure to the plants and animals as well as heating…
