Sand dunes

The dusk rolled around, the sky had a few, small, white clouds drifting around, but nothing that covered the view of the sun which set with vibrant colors of red, orange, yellow, purple, and reflected off the water and sand around us. Early morning on the first day, Tanner had it in his head that I should learn how to ride a longboard. I accepted his challenge to learn and quickly began trying to ride and quickly began realizing it might take a while before

we headed back up the weathered stairs and towards the distant sand dunes. As we approached the entrance of the sand dunes, the satisfying sounds of the ocean's waves started to become closer and closer. Once we traveled closer, the vivid orange sun began to ascend from the deep sea. At this early point in the morning, the sand walkway enclosed by dunes, hadn't heated up from the sun, so the sand had a soothing feeling of cool sand between each toe. Upon reaching the shore, we noticed that not many

"The rains! That is a puzzle I cannot solve. Why do you ask?" "I dream of them at nighttime." "Since when?" "The last few nights. I imagine sparkling, crystal blue lakes stretching across the valleys like vast oceans. The dunes wash away. Rolling green hills, bordered by savannahs teeming with a diverse assortment of life stand in their stead." Tralore laughed. "That is a vivid imagination you have, my child." "Something has changed. Hasn't it, Father?" As he traced circles

footprints marking a trail in the sand all over the place, going in a million different directions, searching for their next meal. I take in the exquisiteness of it all, the blue-green waves crashing into the sandy shore, making white foam and bubbles wash into the sea, little boys and girls that are digging in the bright white sand running away from the small waves before they get wet. The beach is a stunning place to be; there's just something about the ocean waves and the sand between my toes that makes

Lose stones crunch underneath my feet as I walk along the sand towards my favourite beach, metres away was my little hideout place which I named my special place and there standing was me a 7-year-old little girl named Isabelle who loved the beach, she loved swimming and running up and down the beach with her best friend Jake her first ever dog. All I remember now is going to my special place all the time when I was little and it had a rope swing inside and I use too sit on it and swing back and

Frank Herbert and His Classic Novel, Dune “A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.” Princess Irulan speaks these words in the award-winning novel Dune (Novel). Frank Herbert knew this quote was true because he carefully planned his epic masterpiece before he started writing. The novel could only happen after research of a variety of topics. Dune has many different influences and origins. Frank Herbert’s complicated book, covering a variety of

lighthouse. It was believed that pumping in sand dunes was an inexpensive and effective solution at the time. In the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps began building a sand dune barrier along Hatteras Island but today’s scientists reason that while the dunes helped with minor storms, they did not stop the rising sea level and beach erosion. Sheet pile groins were also installed to slow down the beach erosion. In 1966 over 300,000 cubic yards of sand was taken from the Pamlico Sound and placed

The drift of sand that is going north is created by the winds and waves. Although, sand can move in different wind conditions. This sand movement is also known as a littoral drift. Big quantities of sand is eroded due to the cause of considerable damage to beach, dune and nearshore areas because of a coastal storm. Therefore, Glenelg beach cannot be considered stable just like other Adelaide beaches. Before the settlement of the Europeans, Glenelg beach had been withheld by costal dune erosion. Although

is from the sea. * The sand dunes on the beaches. This area is affected by wind erosion as well as the tides if adequate vegetative cover is not present. The main type of erosion, from the sea, takes the sand from the sand dunes as well as the rest of the beach in a rip. The sand is then pulled out to sea where it forms a sand bar. On calmer days, the sand is brought back to the beach. * Storm damage can affect coastal

of the beach nourishment program. The beach nourishment process is sand being dredged from one location (in terms of palm beach from Currumbin and Tallebudgera creek) and pumped onto a different beach (palm beach). This strategy also requires dune restoration which is the process of building dunes and plating vegetation on them so they look natural. + positives Sewall Dredging Pumping - bypass - 50,000 cubic metres of sand for the replenishment of palm beach (Council of the City of Gold Coast
