Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the tropics and subtropics – mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. The saline conditions tolerated by various species range from brackish water‚ through pure seawater (30 to 40 ppt)‚ to water of over twice the salinity of ocean seawater‚ where the salt has become concentrated by evaporation (up to 90 ppt).[1][2] The many species of trees and shrubs adapted to saline conditions are not all closely related‚ and the term "mangrove"

Geomorphology is the scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them. Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do‚ to understand landform history and dynamics and to predict changes through a combination of field observations‚ physical experiments and numerical modeling. Geomorphology is practiced within physical geography‚ geology‚ geodesy‚ engineering geology‚ archaeology and geotechnical engineering‚ this broad base of interest contributes to many research

Task question In my task question I am going to study why does the velocity vary downstream? To carry out this investigation we will be going to Carding Mill valley; carding mill valley is located near the border of Wales‚ North West England in Shropshire. (This can be seen on image 1) (Image 1) (Image 1) This means we are collecting primary data which is mainly so we can get accurate and reliable set of results. In order to answer the task question

bay. It is considered a building or constructive beach which makes it an excellent beach for bathing and nesting by the turtles. For our school based assessment‚ we choose Las Cuevas Bay (area of study) due to the dominant coastal processes (erosion‚ deposition) and the prominent coastal features (caves‚ arches‚ blowholes‚ cliffs) which seems to be changing overtime.

“Has there been shoreline accretion or erosion within the last year?” We studied and focused on the effect of human development on various specific locations on the Galveston beach. (Figure A below) My hypothesis was that there was severe accretion because of three reasons. Increased ship and harbor activity‚ lack of storms‚ and increasing pollution due to various cities along the coast. But how does human interference actually effect the natural erosion and accretion patterns over time? Understanding

Topography does not play a major role in the extent of these glaciers. Ice sheets and ice caps fall into the same category. The difference between them is one of scale. Ice sheets are larger. Typically the dividing line is around 50‚000 km2. The glaciers that cover Antarctica and Greenland are ice sheets‚ and the glacier that covers Iceland is an

Soil conservation includes all such measures which protect the soil from erosion and restore its fertility. These measures are of two types-(a) small measures to check soil erosion at local or even individual level‚ and (b) large measures at government level involving larger area and heavy investment. (a) Small Measures-These include afforestation‚ regularised land strip cultivation or contour farming or terrace farming in hilly areas‚ use of stubble mulch system‚ increasing cohesiveness of the
