In The Geography of Bliss‚ Eric Weiner uses Iceland‚ Bhutan‚ and Moldova to reveal the necessity of cooperation and inconvenience‚ as these two factors ultimately determine each country’s respective happiness. He observes that a nation’s overall contentment increases when the people connect to one another or to nature by making compromises. He also explores the advantages of nationwide obstacles‚ as the shared inconveniences bring the affected people together. Ultimately‚ he discovers that cooperation

Coastal Erosion The beaches of North Carolina’s coastline face an ongoing threat: coastal erosion. Though mostly gradual and relatively unnoticeable over the course of a year or two‚ the rising sea level combined with a season of storms or hurricanes can cause anywhere from a few feet to hundreds of feet of this delicate shoreline being stripped away. Solutions are constantly being studied and discussed‚ but often‚ the solution to erosion can be just as damaging as erosion itself. While vacationers

sea or along the coast by waves and the wind. Coastal erosion can occur in numerous forms: Seawater can compress air into cracks in rocks. When the air escapes it does so under pressure and shatters the rock (hydraulic action) Large waves throw beach material against the cliffs - a process known as corrasion. In a process known as attrition waves cause rocks and pebbles to crash into each other‚ causing them to break up. Certain types of coastal material‚ such as chalk are slowly corroded by

This unit block has massively affected the shaping and the beachfront of that area of Collaroy beach. The coastal processes that are threatening the erosion of the beachfront developments are‚ Erosion/Accretion Cycle (or sediment budget)‚ destructive storm waves and king tides.

Coast)‚ from Old Harry Rocks to St Oswald’s Bay Discordant Coast - the structure and alignment of these rocks have a significant effect on the landforms produced. This is a discordant coast where the geological sequence has produced distinctive coastal landforms. At Old Harry/Ballard Point and at Durlston Head are outcrops of rocks resistant to erosion. The chalk escarpment which bends from St Oswald’s Bay eastwards to Old Harry increases in width to produce steep 60 metre cliffs. Erosion at
