Rivers‚ Flood and Management The draining basin hydrological cycle: The drainage basin is the area of land that is drained by a river and its tributaries. Also; the catchment area from which a river system obtains its water. Drainage basin largely ‘closed’ system- watershed – boundary of a water basin- generally follows a ridge of high land.

discordant coast where the geological sequence has produced distinctive coastal landforms. At Old Harry/Ballard Point and at Durlston Head are outcrops of rocks resistant to erosion. The chalk escarpment which bends from St Oswald’s Bay eastwards to Old Harry increases in width to produce steep 60 metre cliffs. Erosion at the chalk headland of Ballard Point has produced stacks‚ wave cut platforms‚ notches‚ caves and arches. The more resistant Portland limestone has also produced vertical

Have you ever noticed that some people have awful dental hygiene‚ yet they never have to visit the dentist? The genetics that your child inherited from you will play a role in the health of their teeth. Because their teeth will be impacted by a number of different gene codes‚ consider these two points when you are thinking about choosing a new dentist. Enamel For some people‚ the enamel that covers the interior of your teeth is softer than others. In rare cases‚ a person may experience Amelogenesis

the wetting and drying‚ and the freezing and thawing of the land. These actions cause alternate expansion and contraction of rocks which eventually cause the rocks to crack. Factors which play important role in physical weathering include: * Erosion by wind and water. * The action of plants‚ for example‚ cracks caused by penetrating roots. * The action of animals‚ for example‚ worm casts formed by earthworms. * Human interference. Chemical Weathering is the breakdown of rocks

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: Reveals superficial erosions along the legs‚ particularly in the lower leg‚ the posterior buccal mucosa‚ along the sides of the tongue‚ and also some superficial erosions along the upper and lower gingiva. Her posterior pharynx was difficult to visualize‚ but I saw no erosions on the areas today. There did however‚ appears to be one small erosion on the soft pallet.

residential housing and landscape. Many strategies are used to protect the coastal area such as a sea bee wall to counteract wave destruction‚ sand dune revegetation to regenerate growth or construction of rock pools and rocky platforms to avoid coastal erosion. All three of the management tactics are used at Cronulla Beach‚ which is an extremely popular Australian hotspot for residents‚ tourists and the general public. Without the management strategies being utilised‚ destructive waves can erode cliffs

the southeastern and eastern coast‚ causing the strongest erosion. Because the strongest prevailing wind is from the southeast and east and the longest fetch is also from the southeast and east as the coast is exposed to the sea which is Pacific Ocean. As East dam of High Island Reservoir is located in the southeast of Hong Kong‚ the waves with the greatest energy break along the southeastern and eastern coast‚ causing the strongest erosion.

Year 10 Geography assessment task 1- Fieldwork investigation and research action report (RAP) Natural Environment- Coal point is a small saline coastal lagoon that opens intermittently. Coal point overs an area of approximately 1.3 km. A range of ecological habitats are supported by the lake‚ which is itself subjected to a wide range of human uses including recreation‚ industry‚ development‚ and rural activities. This has resulted in a high degree of modification to the natural environment
