Rocky Shore Study Aim The aim of this investigation is to find where the lower, middle and upper zones on the rocky shore start and end by looking at the species present and absent in each zone. Apparatus 0.5m2 frame quadrat 2 marking poles Tape measure Method This investigation will be conducted when the tide is low on the rocky shore at Scarborough. In order to record a sample of the species along the rocky shore, an interrupted belt transect will be used to ensure
Length of Long Shore Occurence Reason for study: to find out if long shore drift occurs and if it does, to find defences to prevent any hazards The place of my study was porlock bay in Somerset. This is a picture of the porlock bay. [IMAGE] Aim: 1. To find out the beach material is moved by long shore drift 2. To work out a sort of defence mechanism used in porlock bay to stop the flooding in the marshes. Evidence of long shore drift: · Without long shore drift there would
rock pools from the upper and lower shore of Bracelet Bay, were examined and the organisms within noted. The contents of the two pools were compared. The abiotic variations of the pools were recorded and examined in an attempt to understand why the contents of the pools differed. A greater abundance and variety of organisms was present in the lower shore rock pool, this was due to the lower rock pool being a more benign environment than that of the upper shore. This was related to the exposure time

In his novel Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami utilizes elements of surrealism to interweave dreams and reality. Kafka Tamaru, the eponymous hero, encounters moments when he realizes the intersecting of reality and the dream world, but does not remember whether what happens is his own experience or another’s. Because Kafka’s mother and sister left him with his father when he was a boy, he has little to no recollection of them – his only memory of them is on a beach, near the water, where they vacationed
the MTV show Jersey Shore. The show follows 8 people who are placed in a house together for the summer at the Jersey Shore. On the show each episode consists of the cast going out, partying, drinking excessively coming home and getting into drama. MTV itself has a target demographic of people ages 12-34 (Lankford 35). With other shows on the channel targeted mainly to teenagers, that is the demographic that was viewing Jersey Shore. One of the biggest problems with Jersey Shore aside from the glorification
Introduction The extraction of oil onshore has been ongoing for several decades. Offshore oil extraction is a process that began decades after onshore exploration had begun. For many years, scientists and the oil companies were certain that the exploration and production of petroleum from deep-water formations would not incur any sort of environmental damages. Several decades later, scientists learned new information from monitoring programs and research studies that offshore drilling did cause
The Jersey Shore is not the breeding ground for muscular, fake-tanned, loud-mouth party-goers popularized in American culture by the 2009 MTV reality television show. That image serves as the broad standing consensus of Americans understanding of the state’s one-hundred and thirty mile coastline. A few steps away from the glimmer of the neon lights in the beach towns of Seaside Heights, Belmar, and Asbury Park lies the heartland of America. A splendid melting pot of schools, playgrounds, parks

Violence and Freedom in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn In, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, author, Mark Twain contrasts what life is like on the uncivilized shore compared to the peaceful life on the river.

Huck is someone with a mind of his own and someone who does what he pleases. Since Huck is someone who rejects society, he eventually
level the beach profile and find out the direction of long shore drift. Landscape evaluations, Bi-polar scales, field sketching and photographs were very useful for this bit. All the information collected will help me write an illustrated description of each area. This plus other evidence should enable me to be able to accept or challenge the hypothesis'
expression "our days." The use of "minutes" in place of "days" makes life seem even shorter and gives the poem a sense of urgency. The speaker uses wave imagery to show the audience that life is rushing: "Like as the waves make toward the pibbled shore,/ So do our minutes hasten to their end" (813). The wave is a very appropriate symbol for life. First it is nonexistent, then it becomes a small groove on the water, then it swells to greatness. As it grows in size, it speeds up, as life seems to speed
When I have seen by Time's fell hand defac'd The rich proud cost of outworn buried age; When sometime lofty towers I see down raz'd, And brass eternal slave to mortal rage; When I have seen the hungry ocean gain Advantage on the kingdom of the shore, And the firm soil win of the watery main, Increasing store with loss and loss with store: When I have seen such interchange of state, Or state itself confounded to decay, Ruin hath tought me thus to ruminate- That Time will come and take my
this journey to get to a point right past where all the waves break, to a point called the line-up. It’s here, where he waits for a wave that he catches back towards the shore, only to make the journey back through all the cold harsh currents and waves again. He catches a few waves, and then catches one all the way back to shore, where he showers, gets dressed and then goes off to work. He has one of the most stressful jobs I can think of. He is a counselor at one of the local shelters for teenage
observe the shoreline for areas of calm water in the surf. These calm areas can indicate an undertow that can pull adults out to sea with great force. If you are caught by an undertow you should swim parallel to the shore until you swim out of the current. Never try to swim straight back to shore because you can tire rapidly and run the risk of drowning. The risk for an undertow is greater when the surf is higher than usual or when a storm is approaching. Never swim alone in case there is an emergency and
captain had deserted their ship only to perish to the sea. The only ones remaining on board was the Robinson family. When the storm was over, they discussed about how to get to shore. After much thinking, they built a sort of raft big enough for the family of six, taking with them things that could be of use. Once on shore, they began to search for food and made up somewhere to sleep. The next day, Father and the eldest son, Fritz, went into the forest to explore the island further. They found food
the novel. The freedom and tranquillity of the river gives way to the deceit, greed and prejudice of the towns lying on the shore of the river, causing them to disguise themselves and keep their identities hidden. These two runaways - one a slave, the other a beaten boy - attempt to build a sanctuary from civilization upon their raft, but the influence of the shore values continue to find their way into the thoughts, actions and feelings of both Huck and Jim, which becomes the major theme
Hingham, Massachusetts In 1633 settlers from Hingham, England landed on the south shore of Massachusetts. Soon after, my relatives arrived in Hingham, Massachusetts and our heritage has remained intact ever since. Eleanor Roosevelt traveled down Main St. Hingham and described it as the most beautiful Main Street in America. Ancestors of 16th president, Abraham Lincoln were among the first to arrive in Massachusetts and his massive statue in downtown Hingham helps people remember that. The oldest
increase the erosion of beach material (Internetgeography). • Groynes Pros- Cheap retain wide sandy beaches and do not affect access to the beach. Cons- Beaches to the south of the defences are deprived of beach material due to their affect on long shore drift (Internetgeography). • Gabions Pros- Cheap and efficient. Cons- Shorter life span than a sea wall. Visually unattractive (Internetgeography). • Revetments Pros- Less beach material is eroded compared to a sea wall. Cheaper and less obtrusive
The beaches of South Carolina are a prized quality and possession to the state and its people as it provides beauty, enjoyment and the economic benefits of tourism year round. Due to storms, natural processes of sand movement and development, the beaches of South Carolina, specifically the Grand Strand beaches and local beaches of Sullivan’s Island and Folly Beach, are eroding at a rapid rate. Erosion is a natural process effected by sea level rise, storms and currents and many techniques have been
