What is the difference between hard and soft engineering management of coastal erosion?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Hard Management: Hard management is the more traditional response to erosion and involves the construction of structures which stop wave energy reaching the shore, or absorb and reflect the energy. These have often caused problems themselves, such as increasing erosion elsewhere, and soft construction techniques have become more popular because of this.
Soft management: These techniques involve promoting natural systems such as beaches and salt marshes which protect the coast, and are usually cheaper to construct and maintain than hard management techniques, and may be self-sustaining.

What is soft coastal engineering?
i think soft engineering is stuff to make the waves break quicker so it will minimism the eroding to make it slower.

How does a groyne work?
Groynes are placed so as to reduce coastal (or riverside) erosion.In the coastal case, they interrupt the flow of sediment along the coast, and accumulate it alongside the groyne. They are only temporary, though with a life of decades.Riverside groynes rely upon their mass to prevent current erosion of the riverbank. They will not usually accumulate sediments in any great quantity.Read more: How_do_groynes_work

Difference between eastern and western coastal plains?
Eastern coastal plain of India is broader and flatter compared to the Western coastal plain. The Eastern coastal plain receives more rainfall and is characterized by deltas formed by major rivers like the Ganges and the Brahmaputra. The Western coastal plain is narrower and more rugged, with steep cliffs and hills, receiving less rainfall and facing the Arabian Sea.

Desert has no significant vegetation. Coastal plain usually has lots of vegetation.
What is the main difference between a coastal plain and an interior plane?
A coastal plain is a flat, low-lying area along a coast, formed by the accumulation of sediment from rivers and oceans. An interior plain, on the other hand, is a flat expanse of land located far from the coast, often formed by gradual erosion and deposition of sediment. Coastal plains are influenced by coastal processes like tides and waves, while interior plains are more affected by inland factors like rivers and glaciers.
