Coastlines

Denmark has approximately 7,300 miles of shoreline, including its mainland and numerous islands. The country's coastline is known for its diverse landscapes, including sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, and picturesque fjords.

There are two reasons why the Old Harry rocks are so named, the most popular is that they are named after Harry Paye, a smuggler, pirate and privateer who lived in Poole in Tudor times, the other is that they are named after a legend that stated that the Devil, also sometimes known as Old Harry, used to sleep there sometimes. Unfortunately, because of the passage of time it is impossible to be certain which of these legends is the true origin of the name.

It seems probable that there may be elements of both stories that have carried forward to the present day

The Versace mansion in South Beach, also known as Casa Casuarina, was sold for $41.5 million in 2013. The value of the property is subject to change based on market conditions and renovations that may have been done since then.

The province of Québec, which is Canada's largest province by area, has Atlantic Ocean coastline.

The province of Newfoundland and Labrador, however, is smaller in area but has more Atlantic coastline -- approximately 29,000 kilometers.

Canada has the longest coastline of any country in the world. Her saltwater coastline is 243 797 km. Canada also has a freshwater coastline along the Great Lakes of 3800 km.

Canada has the highest coastline. Following are the top five

1. Canada coastline is 202,080 km

2. Indonesia coastline is 54,716 km

3. Greenland coastline is 44,087 km

4. Russia coastline is 37,653 km

5. Philippines coastline is 36,289 km

Canada. It has 125,566 miles of coastline (202,079km) then next is Indonesia with 33,999 miles (53,717km)

This is primarily due to its arctic islands and also the ruggedness of the interior coasts.

Canada has the longest coastline.

Scotland is estimated to have around 60% of Britain's coastline as its coastline stretches for approximately 6,160 miles.

Most tsunamis are generated from earthquakes at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slide under another.

During an earthquake at such a location, the subducting plate slips forward and part of it is thrust upwards, displacing the column of water above it. This displacement of water is what becomes the tsunami.

actually a comet will make a bigger tsunami than an earth quake because it depends on how big the comet is so obviously if its a mini comet about the size of a fist its not going to do any affect but a comet like the size of Texas it would make a Mega Tsunami and once there was a Mega Tsunami the size of a city! and it flooded it completely.

The largest English county without a coastline is Shropshire. It is located in the West Midlands region of England and is bordered by several other counties but does not have a coastline on any body of water.

The direction of longshore drift in Swanage Bay is generally from the southwest to the northeast. This means that sediment and sand move along the coastline from the southwest towards the northeast due to the prevailing wind and wave conditions in the area.

The main cause of death is not the tsunami itself but the buildings that get damaged in the tsunami...ie a bridge or building that falls.

The main cause is the water drowning people and building being destroyed. The building may contain people inside it or could crush some people when it falls.

Yes, Thul village in India was devastated by the tsunami that struck on December 26, 2004. The village suffered widespread destruction and loss of life due to the powerful waves.

The sea defenses at Mappleton in the UK were built in 1991 as a response to coastal erosion threatening the village and its farmland. The defenses consist of rock groynes and a mass concrete seawall to protect the coastline from erosion by the North Sea.

A bay formed by a long curve in a coastline is called a "bay." It is a body of water partially enclosed by land and open to the sea on one side. Bays are often sheltered and provide a natural harbor for ships.

People living in tsunami-affected areas may face challenges such as loss of homes and livelihoods, lack of access to clean water and sanitation, psychological trauma, and limited access to healthcare services. They may also deal with the risk of losing loved ones, displacement, and struggling to rebuild their communities.

There are 44 landlocked countries in the world, they are as follows,

Central Asian landlocked countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan.

European landlocked countries, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovakia, Andorra, Belarus, Luxembourg, Moldova, San Marino, South Ossetia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Vatican City and Switzerland.

Central African landlocked countries, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Mali, Niger.

South African landlocked countries, Botswana, Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

East African landlocked countries, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia.

South American landlocked countries, Bolivia, Paraguay.

Some of these countries have coasts on large, inland seas, such as:

Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan border the Caspian Sea.

Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan border the Aral Sea.

In East Africa, Uganda, Burundi, and Malawi each border Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Malawi, respectively.

(These countries have coastline, but do not connect to the ocean, so they are considered landlocked.)

Long coastlines offer abundant opportunities for fishing and aquaculture, as well as trade and transportation via ports and harbors. They also provide space for tourism and recreational activities, contributing to economic growth and employment in coastal regions. Additionally, coastal areas support diverse ecosystems and biodiversity, serving as important habitats for various marine species.

Caves are caused by erosion by the sea. Eventually the erosion wears a hole all the way through, creating an arch. After a while, the arch breaks down, forming a stack. When that is weathered even more, whatever is left is a stump. So first, erosion makes a cave. Then a hole is weathered all the way through creating an arch. After more erosion the top of the arch loses support and breaks off leaving a stack. Finally more weathering creates a stump.

Coasts can be protected through measures such as building coastal defenses like seawalls and dykes, implementing beach nourishment projects, creating marine protected areas, and enforcing zoning regulations to limit coastal development in sensitive areas. Additionally, restoring and conserving coastal ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs can help provide natural protection against coastal erosion and storm damage.

The closest beach to Glendale, California is Santa Monica Beach, which is approximately 20-30 minutes away by car. This beach is a popular destination known for its iconic pier, sandy shores, and amenities like shops and restaurants.

No, a tsunami is a series of waves caused by a sudden disturbance, such as an earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption. The waves can vary in size and may appear as a rapidly advancing tide or a series of breaking waves.

It is 750 kms (466miles). Source: Balochistan Economic Report by World Bank and Asian Development Bank.

No. Austria is a landlocked country in central Europe.

Neither does it have any large lakes with a significant shoreline.

Tsunamis are most likely to occur in regions located along tectonic plate boundaries, known as subduction zones. Some well-known tsunami-prone areas include the Pacific Ring of Fire (around the Pacific Ocean), regions near Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and Alaska. These areas are at higher risk of experiencing strong undersea earthquakes that can trigger tsunamis.
