Beaches

According to Maryln Van DeSavant I seem to recall she said 7 miles. From basic geometry, you get that the distance to the horizon is D=sqrt(2Rh) where D = distance to horizon R = radius of earth h = height of observer, which would be the height of your eyes. R and h have to be in consistent units, of course. In feet the radius of the earth is about 4000 mi * 5000 ft/mi or 20 million feet. Standing on the shore, your eyes are maybe 5 feet above the surface, so D=sqrt(2*20e6*5)= 14000 feet, or a little under three miles. There are some other effects that make that number a little different. Refraction bends your line of sight, so you can see a little bit farther. If you're looking at an object on the water, like a ship, you also get the distance on the other side of the horizion that corresponds to the height of the target. ==How to calculate the distance yourself== To get an "approximate" distance to the oceanic horizon from a particular observation point, take the square root of the height of the observation point, add 22.5%, and that will give you the distance in statute miles. For example, if your eyes were 6 feet off the ground, and you stood atop a 50' tower, your observation point would be 56'. The square root of 56' is 7.48. Add 22.5% of 7.48 (1.68) to 7.48 and you have 9.16 statute miles from your eyes to the horizon.

Never. Sea water contains all of the mineral salts dissoved out of rocks, both by sea water and, indirectly, by rivers. The sea is a store of such slats and these mean the water can never be considered pure. Fresh water is water that contains virtually no salts.

It will depend on the beach. Local ordinances may regulate or prohibit fires.

Yes I always have an erection on any beach, clothed or not. I will walk totaly nude right down the beach and back fully erect and stop and talk to people. Many women I talk to say they love to see erections and think its great that I don't try to hide it. Some ask me to shoot my load and use it as sun cream, which i love to do. So yes dobt hide it, go and show it, its great.

The average volume of a 20 inch beach ball is 800 cubic inches of air. A beach ball is a sphere so the formula to figure out the amount of air need to fill it is 4 pi times the radius cubed divided by three.

In 1889 a spanish ship named Providentia , en route to Barcelona from havana, ran aground off the coast of Florida. In its hold were some 20,000 coconuts, which spilled on to the beach. Local people took many of the coconuts and planted them at their homes and along the beach, an easy locator for ships. They were the first coconuts to be grown in Florida. So the area became known as Palm Beach.

No, Winston-Salem is located in the Piedmont area of NC in the middle of the state. The closest beaches are about 4 to 5 hours away.

The address of the Rehoboth Art League is: 12 Dodd'S Lane, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971

El Cerro del Aripo (940 m a.s.l.) is the highest point in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It is part of the AripoMassif and is located in the Northern Range on the island of Trinidad, northeast of the town of Arima.

Deposition, slip off slopes for river beaches and finely ground stones being deposed by the sea :)

because gravity pulls the water back into the ocean

It shouldn't take any minutes from Boston to Boston!

Lots of people like to undress and lie in the sun on a beach so they find themselves a nudist beach so not to upset others who do not like it.

Yes, seashore refers to all seashores, many are beaches which are sandy only. But, some seashores are covered with or made up of large stones -- these are referred to a rocky shores.

Beaches have been around since there were oceans and Pangaea (land masses)

The phone number of the Satellite Beach Public Library is: 321-779-4004.

The driving distance from Dillon, Montana to Beach, North Dakota is 514 miles via I-94 E per MapQuest. The driving time per MapQuest is 6 hours and 56 minutes.

There are shells on some beaches and none on others because the creatures that orriginally lived in the shell ie mollusks, are not abundant at the beach wthere there are no shells. Also the current at some beaches is too strong and do not allow for shells to be washed ashore.

There are some nice beaches in Mississippi that are only about a 2 hour drive from Baton Rouge. Louisiana beaches are further. A trip to Grand Isle from Baton Rouge takes about 4 hours.
