Sea oats play a vital role in the development of sand dunes. The structure of their leaves and roots help in the trapping of the wind blown sand, promoting the growth of sand dunes and their stabilization. Sea oat plantation is encouraged in coastal areas to protect damage from heavy winds and high tide.
An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid.
Two plates pushed together create a convergent fault. If one plate is oceanic and the other continental, the edge of the oceanic plate will be pushed down. When two plates move away from each other they create a divergent boundary. When this happens under oceans, new ocean floor is created.
