Lee E Harris PhD PE 2The aerial photograph in Figure 1 shows the location of the four adjacent pocket beaches within the embayments known as from north to south Mullet Bay Maho Bay Beacon. Nodar. . Tsivtsivadze. . Ocean shore is a special natural zone of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere interaction. Perhaps, there is no other such “attractive” object on Earth. About 40% of the world population lives on the marine and ocean shore zones. Numerous industrial, communication infrastructure and other facilities are built along the sea coasts. Unfortunately, quite often, construction of these objects is followed by loosing of the coastal zone’ (mainly the beach) vast quantities of sand, pebble –gravel and shell material. . . Luo. ,.

Describe how each of the landforms below contribute sediments to the Town Beach in Boomtown.. Seaside Cliff – Seaside cliff is located above and just to the north of the Town Beach. When erosion moves sediments off of the cliff, they fall down to the beach area, adding material to the beach..
