high tidal ranges allow waves to reach farther up the shore‚ and areas with lower tidal ranges produce deprossosition at a smaller elevation interval. The tidal range is influenced by the size and shape of the coastline. Tides do not typically cause erosion by themselves; however‚ tidal bores can erode as the waves surge up river estuaries from the ocean.[3] Waves erode coastline as they break on shore releasing their energy; the larger the wave the more energy it releases and the more sediment it

is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river. Landforms in upland regions are dominantly created by erosion processes‚ where land is worn away. Generally‚ the volume and discharge of rivers in upland regions tends to be low‚ and the river uses much of it’s energy in overcoming friction. The erosion direction here is vertical‚ or straight down into the bed of the river. This has the effect of destabilising the slopes on either side of the river‚ creating

heavy rain and snow‚ and soils are leached and heavy runoff results in soil erosion‚ snow melting results in soil erosion and a rapid increase in river discharge. Moreover some more reasons are because deforestation in head water areas due to increasing population in Nepal and Tibet. Trees cleared for fuel and grazing land ‚ less evaporation more runoff and faster soil corrosion‚ Rivers silt up due to increased soil erosion. This raises the river bed and reduces the capacity of the channel resulting

processes. During our fieldwork we have learned the key issues of coastal management and their strategies and the way they address them at Cronulla Beach. The three key geographical processes that shape the coastal environment are erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The key issues relating to coastal management at Cronulla beach are Pollution‚ Tourism‚ Introduced Plants and Population Growth. Pollution is one main key issue at Cronulla beach because people are littering they are eating on

3 Research-based Principles Guiding Watershed Management The purpose of this section is to identify various principles of watershed management that form the basis for the specific goals and implementation objectives for management of the Sudbury watershed lands during the period covered by the plan. These principles are distilled from a literature review of nearly 400 different sources‚ many of which are included in the Literature Cited listing at the back of this plan. 3.1 Principles

response The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is an ecosystem at risk that is both vulnerable and resilient to change. Natural stress and human induced modifications affect the functioning of the ecosystem‚ with short and long term impacts. Extreme weather‚ erosion and storm waves are natural stresses that put pressure on the ecosystem while human-induced changes such as tourism‚ overpopulation and the result of industries are also prevalent. The reef is located off the North-East coast of Queensland‚ extending

often results in the rivers overflowing and therefore flooding. The flood was also influenced by many human causes‚ including the increasing population. Deforestation was also a major cause as it is believed to be responsible for the increased soil erosion‚ and reducing channel capacity and therefore increasing the likelihood of flooding. Bangladesh is also a LEDC (less economically developed country) and its lack of money and heavy national debt means that little money is available to spend on flood

Narrabeen is a beachside suburb located on Sydney’s northern beaches with a population of just over 6000 people. It is known for its long stretch of beach‚ over 3 kilometres‚ with four beaches on this stretch: North Narrabeen‚ Narrabeen‚ South Narrabeen and Collaroy. The Narrabeen coastal environment consists of these beaches as well as the lagoon located at the north end of the beach. Surrounding areas are on a floodplain‚ meaning that high sea levels‚ large amounts of rain and runoff from nearby
