Sand

frantically piled sand on top of sand. I was trying to build my dream sandcastle independently, without anyone’s help. The moist, dark sand kept falling apart though, I gave up. With the bow in my hair and swimsuit full of sand, I ran over to my Dad. “Daddy, my sand castle keeps falling down. Can you help me?” My Dad, with a broad smile on his face, scooped me into his big, loving arms. He walked over with me in his arms to a smooth spot of sand, and together we built a fascinating sand castle. When

The sound of the crashing waves surrounding me, and my family yelling "Run Lauren!" filled the air as I stood in awe of this wave heading straight toward me. My family decided to take a trip to Los Angeles, California to visit family, and the popular landmarks the state holds. I was excited to visit the beach because I had never encountered the ocean or the tropical climate before. I had never seen the ocean before so my excitement to go to the beach overflowed. While we were in California we had

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

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

Bronte section The cutting at Bronte is a section of rock face which made of a sendimetary layer known as Hawkesbury Sandstone. The sandstone is formed by grains of sand being compressed by the pressure of the surface above where it lies. Over time, the pressure results in the grains of sand being fused together to form a sandstone. Our group start from chainage 250 to 260. These section can be roughly divided into 4 section which are list below. Section 1,250-252.5 chainage The main features

The beach, the place that concedes the chance to the people to be closer to the sea, smell the fresh air, hear the seagulls, and feel the ocean in the feet.

Every year millions of dollars of state and federal dollars are spent to essentially place tons of sand on America’s beaches. This process known as beach nourishment. Proponents often point to this method as effective way is a way to fight against beach erosion The causes of this erosion are both manmade and natural, but regardless of the cause this process is only a stop gap that does not actually address this issue. Instead, both the federal and state governments have spent billions of dollars

has kept on expanding, especially into previously “pristine” environments, thus removing “access” to a great deal of the sand that was in the area. Human expansion has also resulted in the introduction of exotic or invasive species of flora, that may have impacted the native vegetation that existed on the beachfront, and as a result, changed the structure of the pre-existing sand. This is generally due to the exotic species impacting the food web, and spreading very quickly, likely due to having many

worries drift away as if a spirit came down and relieved me of them. I can reach down with my ever wanting hands and scoop up a mountain of sand and watch it in awe, as if I was standing at the base of Mount Everest, waiting in anticipation. I can feel its rough coarse texture on my warm weathered hands as the sand slips through my fingertips. I can see the various sand castles that the kids have made throughout the day. Most of them are simple with maybe one or two cylindrical towers and a shallow moat
