Narrabeen is a beachside suburb located on Sydney’s northern beaches with a population of just over 6000 people. It is known for its long stretch of beach, over 3 kilometres, with four beaches on this stretch: North Narrabeen, Narrabeen, South Narrabeen and Collaroy. The Narrabeen coastal environment consists of these beaches as well as the lagoon located at the north end of the beach. Surrounding areas are on a floodplain, meaning that high sea levels, large amounts of rain and runoff from nearby hills and mountains can lead to flooding occurring.…
I grew up in Titusville FL, a small town know for being the perfect viewing spot to watch the space shuttles launch from Cape Canaveral. The town was so small I could walk from one end to the other with in an hour. My favorite thing to do was to walk to a nearby lake and relax with with my friends, we would fish and climbed tree for…
I currently live in the area of Port Richey, Florida. Some examples of the physical systems near Port Richey, Florida are bodies of water such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Tampa Bay. Another example of a physical system in my area is its weather, which, unfortunately for us, is pretty bipolar. Florida’s weather is rainy, hot, dry and humid all at the same time. In the place that I live, most recreational activities include: golfing, going to the gym, and going for a walk. Port Richey, in my opinion, is definitely a human region due to its similarity in language and culture. We have an array of human systems but one of the most recognized is our variety of hotels. We built hotels in our area to encourage tourism and people to stay and invest in our city. Port Richey is a relative location of Tampa and St.Pete.…

The Atlantic Coastal Plain of Florida covers the entire eastern part of the state. It is a truncated, smooth plain stretching from 30 to 100 miles in thickness. This is one of the three main land regions in Florida. The other two are the East Gulf Coastal Plain and the Florida Uplands.…
Catering to foodies: If you’ve eaten here already, then it’s no surprise we’ve got the best/most dynamic and diverse food scene in the US, at least that’s what John T. Edge of Departures Magazine says, and we agree 100%! We can easily enjoy crawfish pho, grass-fed Texas beef, chicken vandaloo, and chicharrón tacos all in the same day and possibly on the same block. Parks: Compared to other big cities, Houston’s got the largest green space of parks around, including the newly renovated Buffalo Bayou.…
I have lived in Texas all my life, Fort Worth, and I have traveled to multiple countries and states but there's no place like home. Being a fortunate person, I've been able to meet people from all over. I met most of these people off a cruise I went on with my family porting out of Galveston. As you know during the summer cruise ships are known as the most thought of family or couple vacation. While I was on the cruise I met a significant amount of people from all regions of Texas. As surprising as it may sound traveling around Texas alone could be a summer vacation with all the different activities and sceneries that it hostess.…
Imagine returning to your Hometown 30 to 40 years from now to find it completely replaced by wetlands. This is the reality that many Louisiana natives living along the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico will have to face if coastal erosion continues at the pace it is going. Costello proclaims, “Since 1932, when the Department of Natural Resources began keeping thorough, accurate records, Louisiana has lost over 1,900 square miles or 1.2 million acres of coastal land due to coastal erosion. (19).…

Lastly, Houston’s biggest imperfection is being too enormous. A trip from one side of town to the other side of town takes hours. That seems like a never-ending trip. When your searching for something in Google map you’ll see it far from your current location. Houston population is immense adding to the axiom “everything bigger in Texas”.…
