The Southport Spit has many geographical features; natural and built. It is home to many natural beaches, sand dunes and islands. There are also many shops, hotels, houses, parks, roads, buildings, resorts and The Sand Bypass System which are all built in the area. The Spit is a product of long shore drift and erosion from Stradbroke Island. It was formed between 1897 and 1898 when high seas broke on Stradbroke Island and divided the island into two. In 1983, the government decided to create rock walls in the mouth of the Gold coast seaway to prevent it becoming a baymouth bar. This opening provided easy access to the harbour for vessels and boating. The Sand Bypass System was built along beside the wall to stabilize the entrance to the Broadwater
Newhaven is well known for having a harbour arm built in 1890 and is 700m wide. The harbour stops any sediment from moving further and protects river Estuary from any longshore drift damage. The harbour also allows boats to preserve their acess to the river Ouse. Longshore drift occurs when waves approach the coastline at an angle of 45°. The sediment is then carried up the beach (Swash) at the same angle. The wave then moves back down (Backwash) at 90°. This results in a zigzag motion along the beach which transports and deposits sediment along the coastline. The formation of the cliff depends on erosion or weathering, the three main types of marine erosion include abrasion, attrition and hydraulic action. The two significant types of weathering in coastal areas are corrosion and wetting/drying. As a result of longshore drift, the sediments and shingle is transported from the sea and tends to be depostited on the oppersite side of the harbour arm. The beach is used mainly by locals of pleasure and lesuire. predict that the cliff will be

Collaroy beach is located 16km north of Sydney’s CBD within Warringah Council's local Government Area. It is approximately 3.6 km long from the local Collaroy surf Club to the Narrabeen lagoon in the north. It had extensive development in comparison with other beaches. There are over 120 plots of land and 293 residential units within this area. Many buildings are many stories high to accommodate a large number of wealthy people. This high level of development has posed a serious risk to property due to the effects of erosion, which has shaped Collaroy beach many years along with other natural processes such as deposition. Erosion continues to occur as the land is pushed inwards at a relatively rapid pace. A year 10 grade from Redfield College

Barrier Island is a low edge of sand that is parallel to the mainland with a distance of 2 to 19 miles’ off the shoreline, 300 barrier islands border the shore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Padre Island, Texas. The barrier island defends the coast from the full power of storm waves. In the central of the barrier island and the mainland is a peaceful lagoon or a bay. Mainly most of these barrier island are 0.6-3 miles wide and amid from 9-18 miles long. The highest structures example of barrier island are sand dunes with the height of 16-33 feet; however, in some places the dunes can reach the height of 100 feet.

Professional athletes all around the world bring in sum of the largest paychecks around, but college athletes, though they work just as hard, see no compensation for their efforts. As of today, college athletes are not paid, and never have been. Even with the insane amount of money that both colleges and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) make from the athletes’ hard earned accomplishments. There are many college athletes that, though they are working hard to meet the expectations of colleges, still have to pay off their college expenses while being used by colleges to bring in lots of revenue. They are working harder than any other student on any college campus, balancing their sport and education, so shouldn’t they be rewarded?
Many people believe that, regardless of who claims the victory of the election for themselves on November 8th, the fate of America lies in shambles following this year. Although, with that being said and without a distinct champion in last night’s debate at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, Nevada, it is difficult to come to a reliable conclusion; however, I personally believe that Senator Hillary Clinton claimed victory in the final debate. If he had not lost his temper after the second period of the debate, obviously, I believed that Trump appeared victorious. However so, as Trump lost his temper, he also threw the debate for himself, crumbling under Hillary’s harsh comments. While both candidates appeared as overly viscous, it is only common sense for both to act that way, as this was the last debate; even so, even if Trump won this debate by keeping the façade he had at the beginning, there is a slight chance for him to actually win in the general elections. Both explained their stances on the issues fairly well, however, Trump happened to accuse Hillary and Obama for everything rather than actually answering most of the questions well.
