Arid conditons are created. Deserts like the Peruvian Atacama are formed where cold offshore currents are present.

What are the components of a coastal circulation cell?

The components to a Coastal Circulation Cell are:1.Onshore current: Current from the open sea to shore2.Longshore current: Current that flows parallel to the shore transporting sediments3.Rip Current: Current that takes overflow of sediments to the foreshore or offshore where a Sand Bar or Barrier Island can be formed.


How many natural disasters were caused by offshore drilling?

None. Any disaster caused by offshore drilling would be a man-made disaster.


Is tsuamies being caused by humans?

Tsunamis are primarily caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, rather than human activities. However, human activities like climate change and coastal development can indirectly contribute to the impacts of tsunamis by affecting sea levels and increasing vulnerability in coastal areas.

Does the climate change after a tsunami?

There is little reason for a tsunami to change the climate. Climates are affected by changes in the distribution of warm and cold air. Tsunami don't do this. Tsunami are caused by undersea earthquakes and these generate an insignificant amount of heat, made even more insignificant by the huge heat capacity of the ocean. For a tsunami to affect climate it would have to be caused by a major volcanic eruption. In such a case, the volcanic activity would get the blame, not the water. The only way a tsunami might be more closely related to a climate change would be this: Suppose a tsunami were caused by a huge shifting of the ocean bed and that this caused a major change in an ocean current. That would result in a change in the earth's heat distribution and thus its climate. But still, it's the earthquake getting the blame for both - the tsunami and the climate change.


When did the coastal erosion in Norfolk happen?

Coastal erosion in Norfolk, England, has been an ongoing issue for many years due to natural processes and human activities. It has accelerated in recent decades due to sea level rise and increased storm events caused by climate change.


How was coastal erosion created?

Coastal erosion is primarily caused by the force of waves and currents wearing away the shoreline over time. Human activities such as construction, dredging, and changes in land use can also contribute to coastal erosion by disrupting natural processes. Climate change, with its associated rise in sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events, can further exacerbate coastal erosion.

The most oil pollution to the ocean?

The most oil pollution to the ocean is often caused by oil spills from shipping accidents, offshore drilling, or illegal dumping. These spills can have devastating impacts on marine ecosystems, including damage to wildlife, habitats, and coastal communities. Effective prevention measures and rapid response are crucial to minimizing the damage caused by oil pollution in the oceans.
