Shoreline environments are highly variable, both in space and time. Organisms occupying the shoreline have adapted to a certain degree of natural variation in habitat and environmental conditions. For example, the breaching of normally closed estuaries to the sea during rough/high seas and high rainfall allows juvenile fish to enter the ocean and for adult fish to enter the estuary to spawn. 
Protective structures to prevent sand loss or counteract high tides may act to disrupt this natural variation in habitat and environment. On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that due to climate change, shoreline environments are experiencing more frequent extreme conditions, such as storms and higher sea levels. Protective structures could act to provide slightly more stable environmental conditions under which certain organisms can survive.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) Diane will have to travel a farther distance to move the chair.</em>

Explanation:

To slide the chair up an inclined path, Diana would have to travel a further distance. While using the ladder to reach the second floor window would have made the distance smaller, but more force would have been required to move the chair through climbing a ladder. Diane would have got easily exhausted for moving the chair across the ladder. Using the inclined path will make the distance farther but as much force would not be required in this process. Hence, the method of using an incline is better.
