1. When coastal regions are utilized for urban development, potential effects should be considered prior to construction. This includes the possibility of bad weather and pollution. If a coastal area is susceptible to bad weather, it would not be smart to start construction in the area since there is a high possibility of the buildings being damaged in the future. For example, in 1962 in Ocean City, Maryland, about $7.5 million was spent to repair damage from a storm. Either better protection…

Erosion is the geological process in which Earth's surface is worn down by natural forces like running water, wind, glaciers and waves. Erosion is a key factor in the formation of beaches because erosion moves sediment (sand) from one location to another. There are three major types of coastal erosion; hydraulic action, corrosion and corrosion. Hydraulic action is when waves crashing against a headland causes erosion. Waves enter cracks in the rock and air is compressed into the crack by the…
