Hard engineering refers to the construction of physical structures to defend against erosive power of waves To protect a coast from erosion‚ people have built seawalls in front of a cliff or along the coast. A seawall is usually made of concrete. It acts as a buffer and absorbs energy of breaking waves especially during storms where the waves are strong‚ thus protecting the coast. A seawall shields and protects the coast from the direct impact of the incoming waves‚ thus reducing erosion. However

Garamba National Park‚ established in 1938‚ is a World Heritage site located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The park’s location between the Guinean and Sudanese biogeography realms makes the region particularly interesting in terms of vegetation and plant life. The Garamba National Park boasts a larger variety of plants and animals than any other country in Africa. One reason for the large variety is the diversity of the climates and the ecosystem. Garamba National Park is home to tropical

The plants used to seed are often the most neglected part of a pasture‚ yet it usually provides the majority of nutrients to the stock. Well-managed pastures that are properly grazed have the potential to minimize feed costs and increase long-term health or your field. Pasture is the most natural diet for animals. Pasture plants

they can not do this unless they eat a lot of food. Frogs swim to the bottoms of bodies of water and eat vegetation small animals that live and grow there (2010‚ p. 2). The tomato frog is a bad swimmer compared to other frogs and toads. Instead of chasing their prey tomato frogs hunt without ever getting in the water. They are what some would call a lazy species of amphibians. They hide in vegetation along bodies of water to wait for prey. Instead of going to their food‚ they wait for their food to come

The Granby Dam was built in 1949 for the purpose of water storage. The project was also due in part to supply water to the Front Range through the Colorado Big Thompson Project. These projects greatly changed the surrounding landscape in the area. Vegetation for the Lake Granby ecosystem varies between the locations. On land‚ aspen trees‚ and ponderosa pine are abundant.
