What are the disadvantages of gabions?
the advantages are that it helps to protect the coast line by stopping the waves pounding at the cliffs. it does this by breaking the power of the waves when it hits the little rocks inside the cage. gabions are quite natural as rubble or pebbles can be used. gabions are also quite cheap and may be prefered to other coastal defenses such as sea walls.
the disadvantages are that they may be considered unsightly by some people, they may take up quite a lot of space up on the beach as lots of gabions are needed to provide plenty of protection ( this makes the beach less desirable to people as the beach may seem more crowded) if the rocks inside the cage become worn down the whole cage will need taking out and replacing. if the gabions are stacked up in a wall and a lower one needs replacing this will mean taking out all the ones above it aswell before replacing it and rebuilding the wall. this would take lots of time and money!
A timber crib retaining system offers an excellent alternative solution being generally faster and more simple to construct without the need of skilled or experienced labour.
Timber crib can be used in both domestic and commercial applications and are considered by many as aesthetically superior to gabion baskets in addition to being environmentally friendly and sustainable.
What is chemical preservation?
Chemical preservation refers to the use of chemicals or additives to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in food or other perishable items. These chemicals help extend the shelf life of products by inhibiting spoilage and maintaining quality. Some common chemical preservatives include salt, sugar, vinegar, and synthetic additives like benzoates and sulfites.
What are the core top samples in marine geology?
The core top samples in marine geology are sediment samples collected from the top layer of the ocean floor. These samples are essential for studying past environmental conditions, including sea level changes, climate variations, and sedimentation rates. Analyzing core top samples can provide valuable insights into the history and dynamics of marine environments.

Did the army ranger school have a graduating class in 1989?
Yes, the U.S. Army Ranger School did have a graduating class in 1989. Army Ranger School holds multiple classes throughout the year, and 1989 would have had various graduating classes.
What problems do liquid fuels pose which solid fuels don't?
Think of the "SAFETY" reasons. I will use Ethanol as an example. If you opened an ethanol bottle there is most of the time a safety bottle top. But if there was'nt one then if someone accidentally knocked you. Then you could spill the Ethanol everywhere. So one of the reasons SPILLAGES. Another reason in this case Ethanol is a flammable substance. Do not get me wrong but I know that not all liquid fuels are flammable.It is the fumes of Liquid fuels that are flammable instead of the fluid. But if you opened a Ethanol bottle and a source of fire was lit nearby. (Example a Bunsen Burner). Then the Ethanol might start to burn and cause a fire. So another reason FLAMMABLE.These are two problems that liquid fuels cause that solid fuels do not. I tried my hardest to detail them and make it understandable :)
Would you classify having control of Vicksburg as an advantage or disadvantage for the union?
Having control of Vicksburg was a significant advantage for the Union during the American Civil War. Vicksburg was a strategic location on the Mississippi River, and the Union's capture of the city in 1863 allowed them to effectively control and blockade the river, splitting the Confederacy in two. It also provided the Union with a base to launch further campaigns into the Confederate territory.
What are two disadvantages of being in a herd?

What school do the rangers go to?
An army rangers has only one definition, a member of the 75th ranger regiment.
The schools to pass are:
1. basic combat training
2. advanced individual training for a mos found in the rangers.
3. Basic Airborne school
4. Ranger assessment and selection program. This course is 8 weeks and about 1/4 of candidates pass. After complete, you will be assigned to one of the 4 battalions of the Regiment and will be considered an army ranger.
NOTE: Army Ranger school has very little to do with being a ranger. Although graduates of this school earn the Ranger Tab, they are merely Ranger qualified, and are not rangers. A ranger must only attend this course to hold a leadership position in the Regiment and attend specialty schools.
If there are women in the 75th Ranger Regiment (as far as I know, there aren't, but there could be some at the Regimental level), they'd be required to be jump qualified, but wouldn't go through RIP. The Ranger battalions, like any other infantry battalions, isn't composed exclusive of infantry - there are also cooks, motor transport operators, etc. assigned to those battalions.

What are the advantages and disadvantages for building large dams?
I believe PROS:
· Dams can store rain water or water directly from the river itself. Then, in case of a Drought, the dam will still have a relatively constant supply of water.
· Producing Power.
·
o Controls flooding & PROS:
o Dams can store rain water or water directly from the river itself. Then, in case of a Drought, the dam will still have a relatively constant supply of water.
o Producing Power.
o Controls flooding & provides recreational activities such as boating fishing and swimming, if the lake is not being used for drinking water (Dam Society).
o Simple design makes for inexpensive repairs and maintenance costs (Dam Society).
o Produce inexpensive (after completion) and clean power.
o Renewable energy source, because the water is not destroyed by passing through the dam.
o If needed, dams can be shut down instantly, where thermal plants take hours, and nuclear plants can take days! (Dam Society).
o Very few breakdowns.

CONS:
· Hydroelectric power production require flooding of entire valleys and scenic areas.
· Disrupts natural seasonal changes in he river, and ecosystems can be destroyed.
· Ends flooding that help to clean out the silt in rivers, causing them to clog (Energy Laboratory).
· The silt that usually flows down to the Beaches and Estuaries is block by the dam.
· Studies show that the plant decay caused downstream of major dams produces as many greenhouse gasses as more conventional methods of producing electricity.
· Dams are expensive to build, and due to drought may become useless, or produce much less power than originally planned.
· A dam being build in Quebec will end up flooding an area as large as Switzerland (Energy Laboratory).
· Dams can break in a massive flash flood.
· Dams can store
