Field Sketch Of Groyne
Introduction
------------
I went to Sheringham on the 17th of July 2002 to carry out the
fieldwork for my geography coursework.
I went to Sheringham, which is situated, on the north Norfolk coast.
The grid reference is 160436.

We went to Sheringham for various reasons and chose it over other
places around the area. The main reason was because Sheringham has an
ideal example of what the coastline directly behind the sea is like
both protected and unprotected, which contrast well. Also it is an
ideal distance from where we are based to where we have to travel in a
day.
My hypothesis is:
IN PLACES WHERE THERE IS GREATER USE OF COASTAL PROTECTION, THE LAND
BEHIND IT CAN BE USED TO GREATER EXTENT THAN THE LAND THAT IS
PARTIALLY OR NOT PROTECTED AT ALL
This means that where coastal protection is used more widely and to
more effect, there can be more extensive use of the land that is
behind it where as land that is protected by the coastal protection or
not very well they cant use the land behind it so extensively.
While I was at Sheringham I completed the aims that I had set. These
aims were:
* To examine the cliffs behind the beach to see how erosion from the
sea has affected them,
* To compare how the different types of coastal defences such as
Rock armour and Sea walls are used.
* To look at and survey the quality of the beach.
* To evaluate the coastal scenery.
* To make a profile of the beach.
* To look at and investigate the action of the sea and find out how
it is working in Sheringham.
* To investigate how parts of the coastline have been looked after
well and also how it has been mistreated.

Carson has written this essay to provide insight about the tide currents of the deep waters. She also raises insight awareness on planetary forces and physical dimensions. Carson’s main focus consists on informing the readers about the size, timing, and occurrences the tides correlated with. Statistics and studies are given to further elaborate and assist Rachel’s theory that states “In every country the moon keeps ever the rule of alliance with the sea which-it once for all has agreed upon." From the tone of the essay, it can be seen that the theme contains educational content that has significant importance to the global being.
Major exploration may harm the environment due to how we exploit resources. According to Philippe Cousteau’s commentary, he states that “the world has fished, mined and trafficked the ocean’s resources to a point where we are actually seeing dramatic changes that are seriously impacting today’s generations” (70). This emphasizes that attempting major exploration has an impact in our environment. Additionally, Elisabeth Rosenthal’s “Stinging Tentacles Offer Hint of Oceans’ Decline” gives us an idea how pollution affects the climate. Dr. Josep-MarÍa Gili
This was the first underwater archaeology operation using self-contained diving apparatus and marked the beginning of underwater archeology.
first of all, in an article called, “Why Exploring the Ocean is Mankind’s Next Giant Leap” by Philippe Cousteau it explains two going down to the deepest part of the ocean, the Mariana Trench, but this is largely forgotten today. In this article it also explains how unbelievable it is that people are focusing on space travel but we don’t know
“How and why is it that I do not describe my method for remaining underwater and how long I can remain there without coming up for air? I do not wish to divulge or publish this because of the evil nature of men, who might use it for murder on the sea-bed.” – Leonardo Da Vinci [1].
Before the 1940s, the human knowledge on marine species was almost nonexistent. Humans had only explored and discovered below_% of the ocean and
Out in the middle of an unknown body of water, traveling distances only judged with elementary equipment, seeing life forms before anyone else on the earth. Covered in a constant layer of salt, your last meal consisted of stale water, sauerkraut and some salted packed meat. The trip lasts for years and it won't be your last. These trips were performed by many sailors but none as important to Oceanography as James Cook.

In order to explore the tides one must first deduce the big ideas needed to understand them. These include factors that can affect the tides such as the geography of an area and gravitational pulls. Also a separate look at solar and lunar tides will be taken. Finally tidal predictions will be taken under consideration...
The first reason ROVs ARE VALUABLE is to help get information on underwater issues that cannot be obtained from other sources. Traditionally, humans have investigated the ocean from

The lost city of Atlantis is one of the world’s greatest mysterious till this day. It’s an even more older mystery than the legendary Bermuda Triangle. For generations people have been wondering how Atlantis fell or if it even existed, but many people believe it actually existed. There is no actual proof but there are many different stories from different cultures all over the world talking about Atlantis. Scientists have been trying to find some kind of evidence of Atlantis’ existence but find nothing. Our technology is very limited when it comes to deep sea exploration. This world is mainly made up of water. It would be very difficult and time consuming to explore the oceans and our technology won’t be able to cover it all. Maybe someday we will be advanced enough to find some kind
I would like to be a marine biologist because not much of the ocean has been explored. If I could explore at least 1% of what has not been seen, I would be satisfied. I would like to be a marine biologist so that I can discover new species of marine life. Some marine biologists have found evidence of enormous squids, but have never seen their entir...
My topic is the Mariana Trench. The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean, just east of the 14 Mariana Islands near Japan. We do not know exactly when the Mariana Trench was formed but we do know when it was discovered. The Mariana Trench was discovered on March 23, 1875. The first detected depths of the Mariana Trench were recorded by the British ship, the H.M.S Challenger. The Challenger scientists recorded the depth of the Mariana Trench to be 4,475 fathoms which is around 5 miles or 8 kilometers if you convert the units. In order to do this, the scientists used a weighted sounding rope. In 1951 a different British ship, the H.M.S Challenger II, came back to that spot with an echo-sounder and found a depth of about 7 miles which is around 11 kilometers. These two vessels played an important role in the discovery of the Mariana Trench so their names are still
