wear2ing away of land or the removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action‚ tidal currents‚ wave currents or drainage. Waves generated by storms‚ wind or even fast-moving motorcraft traveling close to shore cause coastal erosion. Erosion may take the form of long-term losses of sediment and rocks or merely the temporary redistribution of coastal sediments. In other words‚ erosion in one location may result in a larger beach nearby‚ as the sand is veritably "moved" from one stretch of beach to

tides and currents. At Narrabeen‚ the sediment is moved northwards towards the lagoon entrance. When large amounts of sediment drifts to the lagoon entrance‚ blockages occur. These blockages prevent water from entering or leaving the lagoon as the sand bar is higher than the water levels. Poor water quality can be a result of these blockages as run off from housing pollutes the water in the lagoon and if it can’t wash out to see due to the block‚ the quality for the water drops.

HISTORY OF ILOCOS Before the coming of the Spaniards‚ the coastal plains in northwestern Luzon‚ stretching from Bangui (Ilocos Norte) in the north to Namacpacan (Luna‚ La Union) in the south‚ were as a whole known as a progressive region called the Ylokos. This region lies in between the China Sea in the west and Northern Cordilleras on the east. The inhabitants built their villages near the small bays on coves called “looc” in the dialect. These coastal inhabitants were referred to as “Ylocos”

are similar. Weather has a great deal related to why the region is arid or rich in water. Firstly‚ desert areas are composed of sand and the weather is extremely windy while glacial areas are cold and composed of water that is a thing a desert land is short of. Erosion performs a large role in both areas because wind erosion is liable for the way the rocks and sand dunes in a desert landscape are formed and water erosion is liable for the form of the glaciers in the glacial area. Though the desert

The Casino sits at one end of Michigan Blvd which is one of the main roads in the city and also one of the longest. Another thing about the city is a place called The Dunes. The Dunes is a big sand hill that depending on the weather will burn your feet. The Dunes is a great place to go if you’re looking to have some fun walking in sand and also going to the beach.

There was one that was a bit barren along the way‚ but at the end there was a colossal sand dune that stretched from the top a cliff to the river below. People would climb up the steep slope just to run back down‚ frantically trying to keep up with the momentum of their legs. As I trekked up the hill‚ I grew fatigued and had to stop to catch

Camping: Mountains and Desert A few times a year‚ I like to go camping. Sometimes I go to the mountains in Kern County‚ California‚ whereas‚ other times I go to the desert in Brawley‚ California.
