How do waves causes beaches to erode?
Wave erosion occurs when waves wear down rock in the ocean floor and turn them into sand. This is how some beaches' sand is made. The waves will also pick up rocks and throw them down or just split them open. Waves cause erosion by the force of the wave onto the ground below it and it picks up sand and rocks. It is like when a river causes erosion but waves do it more aggressively. If the waves are strong and hit rocks and cliffs hard enough, the rock breaks into smaller particles. This is a form of mechanical erosion. Another way is when the water can sometimes get between the cracks in a rock. When it cools down, the water freezes, thus expanding the cracks and breaking it. Beach erosion is caused by:
* wind
* rain
* ocean waves
* water runoff
* human and animal activity
* plant growth and decay
* rivers
Wave is erosion is caused by the influx of large amounts of water on a shoreline. The wave action can remove large amounts of sand and rock over time.
well if the sea level rises a bit and the beach is windy then it will form into a storm
What is considered the longest beach in the world?
A beach is a geological landform along the shoreline of an ocean, sea or lake. It usually consists of loose particles which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, waves or cobblestones. There are several beaches which are claimed to be the "World's longest", including Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh (120 km), Marina Beach in Chennai, India, Fraser Island beach, 90 Mile Beach in Australia and 90 Mile Beach in New Zealand (88 km) and Long Beach, Washington (which is about 40 km). Cox's Bazar is which is the longest is also known as 'Panowa' meaning 'yellow flower'.
How did the Normandy beaches get their code names?
Major General David Belchem, head of Montgomery's Operations Staff, says in his book Victory in Normandy that he chose 'Gold', 'Sword', and 'Juno', "from an Army pamphlet which gave a list of code names that could be understood without any risk of confusion against a background of heavy radio interference,between operators with accents ranging from Texas to Glasgow,"and that Major General J. Lawton Collins, the VII Corps commander, chose Utah and Major General Leonard T. Gerow, Omaha for V Corps."
The US had used a color coded system but followed the British lead and developed a code book designed to not conflict with the British code. Names from these lists were randomly assigned for use in the various theaters. There is no real "meaning" or relevance to the names. In fact, Churchill said that names selected should not be names that would give anything away but should still dignify any loss of life- no mother would want to hear that her son died in operation Ballyhoo. Churchill in fact named Overlord, it was originally called Roundhammer.
A bit of undoubtedly untrue apocrypha; the British beaches were to be named after different kinds of fish. The original name of the Canadian beach was going to be "Jelly" - as in jellyfish. Canadian officials convinced their British counter-parts that such a designation was kind weird in Canada where "jelly" means JAM and so it was changed to a more acceptable "JUNO". I say that's a bunch of ballyhoo! But the name Juno is a bit odd considering Churchill's security concerns as it is so similar to June, the month of the invasion.
Chances are the names were chosen before the exact where and when were determined. The name Juno would be the name of the Canadian's beach, regardless of which actual beach was finally chosen. The beaches themselves, and there were dozens considered,were given other code names during the initial planning right up until the final 5 were chosen, that would have further confused any espionage efforts by the Germans.
Jelly fish? Jelly do-nut? Try to deal with the Germans and ya wind up in a jam.
