process mainly at work is vertical erosion. Further it has got a lot of interlocking spurs. There is less lateral erosion taking place. So the bed load is composed of bigger rock particles with irregular size. When it reaches the middle course‚ the river is quite near to its base level. So it uses its surplus energy to erode sideways. Hence the processes like abrasion‚ attrition‚ hydraulic action smoothens the rough edges making the shape circular. The lateral erosion and transportation may give rise

Negative physical / environmental impacts - The carrying capacity of a destination was not observed thus the place becomes too crowded. This results to overpopulation and overdevelopment. An example is the island of Boracay. - Depletion of a destination’s natural resources. Locals and tourists compete over water supply and other necessities. - Since hotels and resorts‚ bars‚ malls etc. have been built‚ these pose a problem on the sustainability of the place. They may also disturb the flora and

features. Great Lakes- St Lawrence Lowlands The Great Lakes- St Lawrence Lowlands is the smallest yet most populated region in Canada. The topography of the region was the end result of weathering and erosion from rivers of the nearby flat-early sedimentary rock. During the Paleozoic era‚ glacial erosion shaped the lakes into sedimentary rock. Withdrawing glaciers washed up large portions of sands‚ silts‚ and gravels as flat plains and rolling hills. Due to the Great Lakes‚ the climate is humid‚ the

Introduction The Brahmaputra River‚ Bangladesh‚ is one of the world’s great rivers‚ ranking in the top three in terms of both sediment and water discharge. The high water and sediment discharges are generated by the monsoon-dominated floods and the tectonic setting‚ which provides abundant sediment from Himalayan uplift into the subsiding Bay of Bengal. It is a major river of Central and South Asia. It flows some 1‚800 miles (2‚900 km) from its source in the Himalayas to its confluence with the Ganges

This structure helps prevent erosion by using the plant life to trap the sand. Without these plants (and ultimately the sand dunes) sand will be subject to many natural forces without protection‚ meaning any major storm could theoretically remove large amounts of sand from the beach with no natural means of replenishing it. Long Reef Beach is commendable in the amount of vegetation it has produced. Because of this the area will not be prone to dangerous levels of erosion. However‚ Collaroy Beach had

In this investigation‚ I will be investigating changes along the long profile of a river. The river I will be studying is Barley Water which is located in the north-east of New Forest National Park in southern England. Bartley Water is a tributary of the River Test and it is 27 km in length including all its smaller tributaries. It runs from Bartley to Eling and flows east into Southampton Water which goes into the Solent. The catchment area goes around the edge of Bartley‚ Minstead and Ashurst
