Over time‚ the control of water intake and the substantial contribution of different climates create a vast diversity among the vegetation because of the proliferous soil by the Nile’s annual flood. The formation of ancient cultures‚ agriculture‚ and technologies significantly contributed to the developing countries adjacent the banks of the Nile. The tributaries‚ landforms and

A wildfire is any instance of uncontrolled burning in grasslands‚ brush‚ or woodlands. Wildfires destroy property and valuable natural resources‚ and may threaten the lives of people and animals. Wildfires can occur at any time of the year‚ but usually occur during hot‚ dry weather. Wildfires are usually signaled by dense smoke which may fill the air for miles around. The National Weather Service‚ U.S. Forest Service‚ and State forestry agencies combine to give wildfire probability forecasts. Local

Due to the scarce rain and very dry weather‚ deserts have unique vegetation patterns. Depending on the type of desert and the geographical location‚ common desert plants include cacti‚ sagebrush‚ creosote bushes‚ shrubs‚ and short grasses. Agricultural plants are rare‚ because they are only found where rivers and streams take place‚ which is very uncommon in most deserts. The vegetation has adapted to survive in the desert biome by using several distinct features to prevent water loss‚ attacks from

Climate In tropical marine areas‚the ocean is largely responsible for creating the tropical marine climate system.In these areas there are two seasons‚ the wet season and the dry season. The average temperature ranges from 25-35 degrees celsius.The annual rainfall is between 1000-1500 mm . The trade winds in this area blow all year and are moist because they pass

Human Modifications at the Muriwai Coastal Environment You may be asked to explain how human modifications (or interventions) have effected Natural Processes. This may be in an essay or with the use of diagrams‚ or both. Remember the key here is the effect on natural processes. Be careful not to go into detail about the human intervention‚ that is not the purpose of the question. Remember to include sketches / diagrams / maps. A good example would be: “this shows the natural process before

responsible for dune formation. The movement of sand by the wind is referred to as Aeolian Transport. The volume of sand transported by wind depends on the size of the sand particles‚ the velocity of the wind‚ the local topography and the nature of the vegetation cover. Sand is most commonly moved by the wind via a process known as saltation. Very tiny particles of sand are moved by suspension. 4. Sketch and explain how a coastal dune system operates. Explain why the foredune is vulnerable (blow outs)

positive as in summer the weather helps the vegetation grow which slows down erosion. After acknowledging the impacts‚ I have made plans to work simultaneously with the environmental factors. At the moment the main coastal management strategies at Long Reef and Collaroy Beach seem to be the bins‚ signs‚ fencing‚ vegetation and designated walkways. It has come to my attention that most of these are placed in quite suitable areas such as the signs‚ bins and vegetation; but I believe the fencing can be placed
