Ecosystems Functioning Case Study 1 – Coastal Dunes 1. What are coastal dunes and how have they been formed? Coastal Dunes are large accumulations of sand located immediately behind the active beach zone. They are formed when sand is deposited onto the shore by wave action‚ dries out and is blown to the back of the beach. This process is referred to as accretion. 2. Where are coastal dunes found globally? What role does the wind play in their formation? Coastal dunes are found on all the worlds

Anna Gribbell October 2017 Coastal Peru Crops of Coastal Peru can be watered by mist! Coastal Peru’s ocean affects day to day life. The ocean in Coastal Peru affects how crops grow and even how cold the climate is. The ocean has fish to catch and valleys have space to produce staple crops. Furthermore‚ the climate is cryogenic and arid (cold and dry) thanks to the mist produced by the ocean. The ocean of Coastal Peru is very helpful to the people that live there. The Humboldt current‚ also known

As the coastal management expert of Southerland Shire I have come up with the most appropriate way to manage this problem. Storm surges are effects of severe storm systems due to a rise in sea level‚ if a storm surge and a tide meet when reaching the coast line severe damage can occur; resulting in extreme flooding in coastal areas‚ leading to damaging buildings surrounding the coastline. To prevent this problem and minimize storm surges having such a large impact and causing severe damage to the

Sea Walls are an example of Happisburgh’s coastal defences. They reflect the energy of the waves back into the sea and work best at high tide. But as the wave backwashes; it erodes the base of the wall. This area weakens and could eventually collapse A sea wall will be necessary at a large beach‚ as the sea wall will come into actions during high tides and storm surges Cost= £2000-£5000 per metre Timber Groynes are mainly used to act against long-shore drift. They do this by interrupting the sediment’s

decades. I inherited the property‚ but as a Coastal Geologist‚ I would have never built this property so close to the shoreline. The western Florida Coast has been abused in the number of permits approved for large upscale buildings. The popularity‚ beauty‚ and comforting weather during winter makes this place perfect for tourism. The problem is that the buildings reduce the beaches ad many construction sites extract coastal sand for their projects. The coastal erosion that affects my hotel are both

Coastal Processes Coasts are shaped by the sea and the action of waves. Waves act in different ways‚ through the processes of erosion‚ transportation and deposition. Coasts: A coast is found where the land meets the sea. Coasts undergo change due to coastal processes and (as with rivers) there are main processes at work: Erosion Transportation Deposition Each of these processes involves the power of the sea and the effect of waves that are carried to shore. However other factors also
