In groups we travelled to separate polygon areas and categorised and mapped the type of land use in that particular area (e.g. residential, industrial, tourism retail, local retail, local services etc.) We then were able to consolidate our findings onto a single map and compare this to an older map of minehead in order to observe and evaluate the overall changes in coastal land use. Another fieldwork technique that I used was ‘field sketching’. This process involved creating a basic field sketch of separate areas along the coast which were then annotated in detail whilst being labelled with the key types of land use and available facilities and features.
In the last 30 years there have been multiple examples of where volcanic and seismic events have had an impact on both MEDCs and LEDCs. Some of these include the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the 2011 Japanese earthquake and the consequential tsunami. In this essay I will show how the impact of volcanic and seismic events have a greater impact on poorer countries than on richer countries. Although prevention of either a volcanic eruption or a seismic event isn’t possible, it is possible to manage them and reduce the overall impact. In theory, this is easier for MEDC’s due having more advantaged technologies and more money available to spend on monitoring the ‘danger zone’ and then warning and planning for the hazard.
Based on the pictures that we saw, there was a lot of wild life that didn’t depend too much on water. We developed the hypothesis that construction nearby is not having an adverse effect on the Turtle Bay Estuary. We predicted the estuary will fall around 4 ppt, making it safe to live in. Method To properly assess the conductivity based on the salinity, we created six different solutions with a certain balance of the Turtle Bay Estuary stock sample and distilled water. Using a conductivy probe for each sample, we will determine the salt content of the water.
When looking at the three most abundant species found in both locations, there are significantly fewer Polychaete Larvae and Unidentified Copepod found at Fort Wetherill. Acartia was higher in abundance at Fort Wetherill, but remained dominant in both locations. Fort Wetherill is at the mouth of the estuary and is a nutrient exporter. It should have been expected that there would be less species surviving. Estuaries transport dissolved nutrients to coastal zones leading to a high productivity in primary and secondary production.
Coastal erosion in Happisburgh Happisburgh is to the east of England and in 2001 had a population of 1,372 in 607 households. However the number is rapidly decreasing due to the amount of coastal erosion that North Norfolk is experiencing. The village has a traditional stone church which was built in the 14th century, a manor house, various other buildings and a famous red and white striped lighthouse. Happisburgh is a coastal village, however it has not always been. They used to be some distance between the two.
It is my responsibility to give a presentation before the state senate on the current health of the Chesapeake Bay based on recent studies, the current status of restoration methods, what previous funding has been used for, and how it has contributed to the improvement of the general health of the Bay. In addition, I must advise and persuade the senators to continue funding the improvement projects based on the scientific information provided in my

Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” This can be related to society and how it is impacted. Powell has had many impacts on many societies, some were good and some were bad. His actions are what helped to form the communities, countries, and groups that we as people live in. The quote means that even the negative impacts that Powell put upon societies is not going to make the whole society negative, it is just one drop in the ocean, the ocean of societies. After all, it is all the drops put together that make the ocean, not just one.
Daylight Saving Time also known as DST is when the clocks are set one hour ahead during the spring time and set back one hour in the fall. There is a debate to whether DST has a positive or negative effect. From what I have read in these articles there is more negative arguments against DST. The studies say DST has many beneficial outcomes but others disagree. Such as in California they have seen little or no effect during DST.
