Download or read book How to Read a North Carolina Beach written by Orrin H. Pilkey and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a walk on the beach with three coastal experts who reveal the secrets and the science of the North Carolina shoreline. What makes sea foam? What are those tiny sand volcanoes along the waterline? You'll find the answers to these questions and dozens more in this comprehensive field guide to the state's beaches, which shows visitors how to decipher the mysteries of the beach and interpret clues to an ever-changing geological story. Orrin Pilkey, Tracy Monegan Rice, and William Neal explore large-scale processes, such as the composition and interaction of wind, waves, and sand, as well as smaller features, such as bubble holes, drift lines, and black sands. In addition, coastal life forms large and small--from crabs and turtles to microscopic animals--are all discussed here. The concluding chapter contemplates the future of North Carolina beaches, considering the threats to their survival and assessing strategies for conservation. This indispensable beach book offers vacationers and naturalists a single source for learning to appreciate and preserve the natural features of a genuine state treasure.

Download or read book Origin and Development of Beach Cusps at Monterey Bay, California written by Dan Howard Smith and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beach cusps were observed daily on Del Monte Beach and measurements obtained so that a quantitative description of the parameters which affect formation and size cusps could be determined. In addition a theory of cusp formation was formulated and an insight obtained into the factors which influence the shape and size of cusps throughout their lifetime. The events leading to cusp destruction were examined. It was determined that beach cusps are depositional in nature, forming most easily in coarse, loose sediment. Cusp development commences at a rise or area of accretion on the beach. A series of beach cusps forms sequentially rather than simultaneously. The width of beach cusps are a function of wave height; the larger waves producing wider cusp spacing. Uniform spacing of cusps in a series can be attributed to the same size waves striking the beach during the formation period of the cusps. Once formed, cusps are stable and tend to maintain their dimensions unless a large change in wave or beach condition occurs. (Author).

Download or read book Coasts written by C. D. Woodroffe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coasts are some of the most rapidly changing places on earth. Understanding the natural adjustments that occur between coastal landforms and the processes that influence them is essential for the better management of coastal resources. Coasts provides a necessary background in geomorphology for those studying coastal systems. It describes the landforms that occur on the coast, their responses to the processes that shape them, and the pattern of evolution that can be determined for different types of coast over thousands of years. Numerous examples from around the world are used to illustrate the variety of environments. Particular attention is paid to coastal morphodynamics, the co-adjustment of process and form, on rocky, reef, sandy, deltaic-estuarine and muddy coasts. This valuable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students is well illustrated and contains an extensive reference section. It will also be of great interest to environmental scientists, geologists, coastal managers and planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where oceans, land and atmosphere meet, three dynamic forces contribute to the physical and ecological evolution of coastlines. Coasts are responsive systems, dynamic with identifiable inputs and outputs of energy and material. In chapters illustrated and furnished with topical case studies from around the world, this book establishes the importance of coasts within a systems framework - waves, tides, rivers and sea-level change all play critical roles in the evolution of our coasts.
