Desert are created via natural ways‚ through climate changes and natural erosion‚ the wind blowing in those areas carries little or no moisture‚ bringing only fog and mist but no rains also those winds pick up and carry rock particles and those‚ will erode the ground and or the other rocks creating furthermore erosions‚ those desert’s also are the result of human activities such as deforestation‚ when humans deplete an area of the fragile eco system

this incredible rock structure was formed‚ the soundest theory relies on the environment that surrounds these rocks. The most powerful force on the Grand Canyon is erosion‚ primarily by water‚ according to The Seven Natural Wonders‚ a data base for the natural wonders of the world. The Colorado River is the culprit of this water erosion. Water has had the most impact on the Canyon because the Colorado River is always flowing. Water can have such a weighty impact because the Canyon is located in a

a Gabion Basket‚ has been erected at the southern end of the beach. This was constructed to protect the headland from further wave erosion and to ensure the pedestrian pathway stayed open for access to the headland. The wall is ____________metres long and was built in _________. * Processes affected: The main processes affected are wave refraction‚ wave erosion and coastal transportation. The waves refract around the headland and attack the sides of the headland. Because of the sea wall the

of forest there will be an imbalance which would have a negative effect on the environment. Endangered species of flora and fauna will become in danger of extinction‚ as well as climates and weather change‚ will occur. These can be in form of soil erosion‚ flooding and global warming. Deforestation which is the cutting down or destruction of forest is also the destruction of our environment for commercial purposes. Not only will we lose our valuable trees which have taken millions of years to grow

Abstract In October 2003‚ stormwater overflows from an intense‚ short-duration storm eroded approximately 20‚000 yds.3 of soil from the bottom and side slopes of a ravine between the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and a subdivision near Tacoma‚ Wash. The erosion ruptured two storm drains and left undermined slopes that continued to ravel and retreat. Measures were implemented to help stabilize the eroded slopes and prevent further retreat that could affect the Tacoma Narrows Bridge expansion project and a

that is going to be developed in close vicinity to Batu Caves. The project‚ if allowed to be carried out‚ can potentially cause the historical site to cave in much sooner than expected as the development may accelerate the limestone massif’s natural erosion process. The developer‚ Dolomite Industries‚ has been ordered to stop all construction-related works by the state government in order for soil testing to be conducted in the area. However‚ the results from the soil test would not prove the ground

in 2005. As a result of the growth of this city‚ the settlement of Balikpapan has expanded into a protected forest adjacent to it to prevent overcrowding in the city. On the other hand‚ deforestation brings harm to humans because it can lead to erosion of the topsoil and siltation of rivers near the deforested areas. The tree canopy of a rainforest provides shelter from rain for the soil‚ and the roots help hold the soil in place. This helps to prevent the topsoil from being washed away by the rain

Landslide in a Village The rainstorm was over‚ I dashed out from the house to free myself. Spending hours in the house really made me feel bored rigid (extremely bored). I needed fresh air and so I went for a ride in the neighbourhood of Bukit Katil. I enjoyed cycling along the roads that ran parallel with rows of tall trees. The atmosphere around me was refreshingly cool. In the midst of admiring view‚ I caught the sight of a house that was partly buried in the mud. I halted (stop)
