Vocabulary: Bacterial pollution- Bacteria play a vital role in processes such as decomposition and digestion. Nutrient pollution- Fuels the growth of algae blooms that block sunlight from reaching bay grasses and rob the water of oxygen. Sediment pollution- Sediment is soil particle that have entered creeks‚ rivers and lakes. Toxic pollution- In our environment threaten our rivers and lakes‚ our air‚ land‚ and oceans‚ and ultimately ourselves and our future. Greenpeace fights back. Water pollution-

Water pollution is the addition of harmful substances to water. Some of these substances are found at home. What household chemicals might be harmful if not disposed of properly? _________________________________________________________________________

4) Relate the damming of rivers to the shrinking of beaches at some locations along the west coast of the United States. Along the West Coast‚ much of the sand found on beaches originates as clastic sediment in streams and rivers that discharge into the sea. Damming these streams traps the sand behind the dam and reduces the input of new sand to the beach system. With reduced input‚ not enough of the sand lost to offshore areas is being replaced; thus

EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION IN THE PHILIPPINES Soil erosion is happening everywhere in this world. Especially near the water area and maybe it is happening below where we stand. One my grandparents told me‚ that one time when they were young a typhoon with its devastating rain hit manila. Because they were near river‚ because of the heavy rain without warning the soil beneath their home collapse and their home was wash away in the river. And it said to be the cause of the collapse of the soil

Aeolian features form in areas where wind is the primary source of erosion. The particles deposited are of sand‚ silt and clay size. The particles are entrained in by one of four processes. Creep occurs when a particle rolls or slides across the

water such as at the river‚ dam‚ reservoir and others. The behaviour of water is differs depending mainly on the structure of the channel in the nature itself. The discharge and velocity are also change especially due to raining seasons and also sediment transportation. Most of the time‚ the flow of the water is in unsteady form. In this project‚ the water can be analysed numerically and by physical model. By means of physical model‚ there

buried by sediment. Reefs are very delicate and need very precise conditions to live and grow‚ the amount of rain that is associated with intense low systems can flood the reef with fresh water and reduce the salinity levels. During the storms the turbidly of the water also increases so the sunlight cannot reach the coral reducing its ability to produce food. Tropical cyclone Larry (2006) showed that reefs could benefit from storms. The waves that were produced by Larry removed sediment that had accumulated

temperature‚ waves‚ tides and current. Longshore drift is a major process operating within the Narrabeen coastal environment. Longshore drift involves the transport of sediments along a beach‚ controlled mainly by waves‚ tides and currents. At Narrabeen‚ the sediment is moved northwards towards the lagoon entrance. When large amounts of sediment drifts to the lagoon entrance‚ blockages occur. These blockages prevent water from entering or leaving the lagoon as the sand bar is higher than the water levels

of years old‚ like old earth creationists suggest‚ the sediment thickness accumulated on the ocean floor should be many miles deep. On average‚ wind and water erode approximately 19 billion tons of rock and dirt debris from the continents‚ and deposit them on the seafloor every year. Furthermore‚ the average global measurement of the sediment thickness on the seafloor only measures to be 1‚300 feet. At this specific rate‚ 1‚300 feet of sediment would only accumulate in 10 to 12 million years. The Genesis
