Describe and explain the changes that take place in the land use of the River Tees drainage basin The River Tees is located in North East England. Its source can be found in the moorland area of Cumbria‚ in the Pennine Hills which receives an average annual rainfall of 1200mm. The source is about 750m high up into the Pennines. The river’s mouth can be found in Teesbay‚ where it enters the North Sea. The source soon turns into a gentle stream‚ where the land is mainly used for sheep farming. The

Erosion is supposed to be a natural phenomenon but being accelerated by human activities‚ like urbanizations and poor agricultural practices. Without human activities‚ losses of soil through erosion would in most areas probably be balanced by the formation of new soil. In my virgin land a mantle of vegetation protects the soil.

many different designs; it can be used to protect a cliff from wave attack and improve slope stability and it can also dissipate wave energy on sandy coasts. Challenges /Limitations /Disadvantages However‚ a seawall may not protect a coast from erosion in the long run. As waves break against the seawall‚ the curved sea walls reflect the energy of the waves which is redirected downwards‚ to the base of the seawall‚ resulting in a strong backwash. The backwash wears away the base of the seawall‚ causing

AIM OF STUDY The aim of this study is to describe the features found along the course of the Wag Water River at Golden Spring St. Andrew and Toms River St. Mary and explains how they were formed. . LOCATION OF STUDY AREA The Wag Water River is located in the parishes of St. Andrew and St. Mary‚ Jamaica. The river flows northwards from the hilly interior of Stony Hill and enters the Caribbean Sea at Annotto Bay St. Mary as shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 2: Map Extract
