Coastal Erosion Coastal erosion is a naturally occurring phenomenon resulting from the continuous action of wind and water. Both act to remove small pieces of land from one location and deposit them elsewhere. Weather events such as hurricanes and nor’easters speed the erosion process‚ as do tidal waves. Currently‚ rising sea levels resulting from melting polar ice decrease available land as well. While erosion has always been a factor of coastal living‚ increasing populations along the worlds

Seawater Oceanography/SCI209 June 30‚ 2014 Professor Barbara Shoemaker Seawater The Earth is almost entirely surrounded by seawater. Through evaporation of seawater‚ water is returned to the Earth through precipitation. The precipitation allows for these salty waters to be filled with drinkable water. The combining forces of freshwater and salt water allow conversion techniques to turn undrinkable water into drinkable water. Such conversions help provide human life with water‚ one of the most
