Biophysical Interactions The upland area of the Australian Alps is underlain by marine sediments. Then through denudation the area was worn down and dissected by different forms of weathering and erosion. Once the land was uplifted and exposed to the effects of weathering‚ the varying degrees of resistance to erosion offered by different rock types became important. Softer sedimentary rocks eroded far more quickly‚ leaving the more resistant rocks in the highest areas. Rivers and streams cut down through

In the upper course of a river gradients are steep and river channels are narrow. Vertical erosion is greatest in the upper course of a river. As the result of this typical features include steep valley sides‚ interlocking spurs‚ rapids‚ gorges and waterfalls. When a river runs over alternating layers of hard and soft rock‚ rapids and waterfalls may form. Waterfalls commonly form where water rushes down steep hillsides in upland areas and quickly erodes the rocks. The height and number of waterfalls

Mangor (2002) argues that like the ocean that shapes coastal landforms‚ the coasts are dynamic aspects of the environment that are in constant change. Thus‚ by means of its natural processes such as sea level rise‚ waves and various phenomenon‚ erosion‚ accretion and reshaping of coasts‚ flooding and the creation of continental shelves it defends itself against man. A specific aspect of the environment that engenders conversation is the coastal landscape: its beauty‚ its purpose‚ its abuse‚ and

Environmental problems Of all the global environmental problems‚ desertification is‚ perhaps‚ the most threatening for poor rural people. The most accepted definition of desertification states that it is land degradation in arid‚ semiarid‚ and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors‚ including climatic variations and human activities. Drylands cover almost 40 percent of the total land surface of the world and are inhabited by approximately 1 billion humans dispersed over more than 100

Executive Summary In the Super Project case‚ Crosby set out to argue that the current methodologies being utilized by General Foods Corporation to determine which capital investments to pursue did not always fit the bill. Crosby advocated using alternative methods for evaluation of Super including: 1) Incremental Basis‚ 2) Facilities Used Basis‚ and 3) Fully Allocated Basis. He provided the Corporate Budgets and Analysis management team with documentation that articulated each of the methods he

Most dams in active use today exhibit seepage of one form or another. The location‚ rate of flow‚ and turbidity (clear or murky) are the critical factors when evaluating the seriousness of seepage from a dam. Seepage is the continuous movement of water from the upstream face of the dam toward its downstream face‚ and is a major minor problem when it comes to the life span of dams and embankments. It is a major minor problem because if controlled the affects are minor and not hazardous‚ but if not

Introduction In the construction industry‚ there are several factors which must be taken into consideration. Keen attention must be paid to the building codes and regulations in order to ensure that all construction activities are carried out in a potentially safe and efficient manner. These may be sighted to include occupational safety and health of employees and the preservation as well as the protection of the environment. Therefore‚ the main aim of this project is to determine the building
