What is the job of a groyne at the beach?

A groyne is a structure which is built at least partially underwater to inhibit water flow and control the movement of sediment. The purpose of a groin at the beach is either to create more beach or to prevent the erosion of an existing beach.


What are groynes?

A jetty is a structure at the waters edge, starting above high water mark. Extending into the water, often beyond the low water mark, it is designed to give access from the land to ships moored alongside it. A jetty may be a solid structure, like a very thick wall, but is often an open framework. A groin (groyne in the UK) is situated in a similar place. It is always a solid structure, and is intended to give shelter to ships (or more often small boats) alongside it. It is not intended to give access to the boats. A groin is often called a breakwater. Groins are also used to reduce shoreline erosion along susceptible coastal areas.


Coronary artery stent?

A coronary artery stent is a small, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery to help keep the artery open. To place the stent, a small incision is made in the groin area to reach the artery there. A catheter is guided through the groin artery into an area of the coronary artery which is blocked. The stent is inserted along with a balloon catheter and expands when the balloon is inflated. The stent is then left there to help keep the artery open.Reviewed ByReview Date: 03/21/2009David C.

What is a harness in the context of fall protection?

A harness in the context of fall protection is a webbing of belts that can be tightened around legs, chest, arms, and waist and groin areas and is strong enough to support your weight at the end of a 6 foot fall without breaking or stretching significantly.It has a D-Ring on the back, also called a dorsal D-ring, that a lanyard hooks to.Together with the lanyard attached to the D-ring it forms a system that catches the wearer if he or she falls, and holds the wearer until rescue can arrive. A safety belt and lanyard is not acceptable for this function, as someone hanging from a safety belt and lanyard can begin to feel pain and suffer injury within minutes, while a harness can be tolerated for an hour or more.A person should be properly trained to use a safety harness. If there is no training you could still die while using it.

What happens to the beach on each side of the groin?

The beach on the updrift side of the groin will experience accretion (accumulation of sand), while the beach on the downdrift side will typically erode. This is because groins disrupt the natural movement of sand along the coast, causing deposition on one side and erosion on the other.

What is the different between the kidney and the groin?

The kidney is a vital organ in the body responsible for filtering blood and producing urine, located in the back of the abdomen. The groin is the area of the body where the thigh meets the abdomen, containing muscles, tendons, and lymph nodes. The kidney is not situated in the groin; they are distinct anatomical structures with different functions.


Where will sand pile up against the groins shown in the diagram?

Sand will pile up on the side of the groin facing oncoming waves, creating a wider beach area on that side of the groin compared to the other side. This process occurs because the groin interrupts the longshore drift of sand along the coast, causing it to accumulate on the updrift side of the structure.
