The Process of Coastal Erosion and its Economic Implications for Delmarva Many geologic processes affect the landscape of the Delmarva Peninsula drastically‚ but one specific process has major economic implications as well. The process of coastal erosion‚ which is defined as the actual removal of sand from a beach to deeper water offshore or alongshore into inlets‚ tidal shoals and bays‚ is one of the most detrimental geologic events to this region’s economy (Scientific American). This type of

The Great Barrier Reef | Koh Yi Shing 2013.03.19 | The world’s largest coral reef system‚ The Great Barrier Reef‚ is shrinking at an incredibly rapid rate (Environmental Threats).

CHAPTER TWO: THE LITERATURE REVIEW Coral reefs have been dubbed the ‘gardens of the sea.’ Burke and Maidens (2004) describe them as both physical structures and complex ecosystems. The physical structure is formed from the secretions of calcium carbonate by tiny marine organisms called coral polyps‚ which forms a shell around them (Mohammed‚ 2007). These shells become cemented together and remain when the reef building polyps die. The basic units of reef growth then are the coral polyps and symbiotic

The small city of Cairns may not be well-known but its claim to fame is that it is the doorstep to visiting The Great Barrier Reef. I’m excited to be here because I planned to go diving along the outer reef wall. Diving the Reef is one of the top site to explore for divers worldwide. As we walked off the plane we experienced the feeling of the warm tropical weather. It was muggy and we could see all around the lush green vegetation. Our transportation into the city was just a few minutes. We

While this level of tourism is economically beneficial for the Australian economy it has the potential to have an impact on The Reef and its fragile environment. This impact can be of biological and social significance. Potential causes of biological effects on The Reef include: • Coastal or island-based tourism development. Ongoing pollution from discharge of treated sewage and stormwater and loss or alteration of natural coastal areas can elevate

Factors affecting the rate of coastal erosion Rock types - Soft rocks like clay or mud‚ erode faster than hard rocks like granite. This is because hard rocks are more resistant to erosion. This means that the hard rock is left sticking out into the sea as a headland. The headland is now vulnerable to the force of destructive waves but shelters the bays close by from further erosion. Wave type - Destructive waves cause more erosion than constructive waves. This is because backwash is more powerful
