Coastal management The aim of this report is to investigate Long Reef and Collaroy Beach’s coastal management. Sand Dunes The Importance of Vegetation Sand dunes are a valid indication of the quality of the soil and the surrounding ocean. When vegetation is established in sand dunes, it stabilises it- i.e. gives the dunes structure. This structure helps prevent erosion by using the plant life to trap the sand. Without these plants (and ultimately the sand dunes) sand will be subject to many

Abstract: The rural settlement within the Malda district highlights human attempts for the livelihood and building the habitat on the diverse geographical landscapes. The characteristics of its natural endowments, social conditionality and historical antecedents and most importantly the human efforts gave the rural countryside a certain kind of social and morphological characteristics. The morphological characteristics of the villages have been collected from the different natural regions of the

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, by Jared Diamond, attempts to explain why history progressed differently for people from various geographical regions. Diamond introduces his book by pointing out that history followed different courses for different people because of differences among peoples’ environments, not because of biological differences among people themselves. Through his convincing explanation for how civilizations were created and evolved throughout the course of history

World Geography, Section Essay 1: How and Why Do Sustainability and Vulnerability Change from Place to Place and over Time By: Matthew Knott Presented to: Dr. Mitchel Stimers 7, February 2018 Manchester Community College World Geography Spring 2018 I chose to discuss the question “How and Why Do Sustainability and Vulnerability Change from Place to Place over Time” (Cutter, 2002, p314)? My goal for taking this course is to become more globally aware. I have learned that political, social

Geographers use a lot of different types of maps to compare. There are a lot of maps such as Climate, Economic Activity, and more. The reason why Geographers use a lot of different types of maps because they all affect each other in other large ways. But also relates to each other Geographers use other different maps for different reasons. The First map I want to talk about is that Geographers use is Landforms. Landforms are a natural feature of the Earth's surface. You can see the terrain. Some

Part 1 The geographical processes that are occurring at the Terrigal beach area are: * Erosion, which is effecting: * The Skillion, mainly the headland and rock platform, which is part of a preserved area of land known as “the Haven” which also contains the rugby oval. The man type of erosion that affects this is from the sea. * The sand dunes on the beaches. This area is affected by wind erosion as well as the tides if adequate vegetative cover is not present. The main type of erosion

Why “Freedom in a Commons” Ruins Everything In the article “The Tragedy of Common”, Garret Hardin, a professor of human ecology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, writes that, “ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, which pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. Freedom in a commons bring ruin to all” (Garret 33). As we all know, freedom is the right people are born with, so why will it ruin everything? In the beginning, we

earth and where these people are located. She needs to study human geography. Human geography is the form of geography dealing with the issue of how people got to where they are and how we affected the earth. How did they get there? How did they affect the earth? Jared Diamond, a famous scientist and author, deals with this question in his book Guns, Germs and Steel. The book goes back as far as basic human life forms and goes deep through human history to the major topic or argument of the book. The

laws are more relaxed in comparison. As these developing countries also want to earn revenue and income that these companies bring, they open the door to them, but destroying Mother Earth at the same time. Thirdly, globalization has also effects on human socially, in their cultural and way of thinking. As countries always need to corporate with each other when they do some investment or business together, as neighbors engage in communication to determine their shared goals, and how they wish to live
