with erosion‚ however‚ every method comes with disadvantages. One way in which soft engineering working well with the natural environment and is also effective‚ is beach nourishment. This is where materials such as sand and shingle are moved from the bed out at sea or further down the coast and placed at the location of the eroding beach‚ this therefore creates a wider beach. Wider beaches absorb the energy of the waves before they can create damage to the coast‚ as they reduce the erosion of the

lower course? In the upper course of a river valley‚ vertical erosion is dominant. This makes the valley shallower than in the lower course. In the lower course of the river valley‚ lateral erosion is denominate. This makes the valleys much wider than the upper course. Erosion‚ Transportation & Deposition Erosion Erosion-the process of the river bed‚ sediment and valley being gradually worn away. There are four types of erosion: Hydraulic Action: The force of the water breaks down particles

to rain-induced hazards in the form of flash flood‚ cloudburst or glacial lake outburst flood. Many Himalayan natural hazards are earthquakes‚ tsunamis‚ hurricanes‚ flooding‚ coastal erosion‚ etc. An earthquake is a process that results from a sudden release of stored energy that radiates shock waves. Coastal erosion is a physical process by which seashores in coastal areas around the world shift and change‚ primarily in response to waves and currents that can be influenced by tides. A flood results

Conservation The issues of land distribution and land conservation in agriculture attract more and more attention‚ especially when the expansion of cropland is hitting a limit since much more land is conserved for environmental purposes. Soil erosion is devastating the topsoil of land as chemical fertilizers are used to increase output within a limited amount of land. At the same time‚ livestock production expands at an ever-growing speed‚ worsening the land use situation. Livestock production

Environmental problems Of all the global environmental problems‚ desertification is‚ perhaps‚ the most threatening for poor rural people. The most accepted definition of desertification states that it is land degradation in arid‚ semiarid‚ and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors‚ including climatic variations and human activities. Drylands cover almost 40 percent of the total land surface of the world and are inhabited by approximately 1 billion humans dispersed over more than 100
