Hi again! Here are my notes on Italy from my geography class last year:
<em>Geography of Italy</em>
Italy is a boot-shaped country to the south of the nations of France, Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Sharing a Mediterranean culture with the Greeks, the Romans built on and borrowed from the Greek advances in civilization. Rome was the capital of what would become a far-reaching empire that would spread these ideas around the known world 1500-2000 years ago. Ideas like trial by jury, judges, plaintiffs, and defendants in court systems came from Rome. Engineering of architecture, roads, aqueducts, Roman baths, and the formation of the Catholic religion all came from the Roman culture. Art, music, literature, and the sciences were all made more sound by the Renaissance, which started in Rome and influenced the world. Along with Greece, Italy is part of the European Union, and its economy is based on textiles and industrial products.

"The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. The upper part of the lithosphere which chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere. The lithosphere is underlain by the athenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, deeper part of the upper mantle."
Answer:
Deposition occurs when the sea has less energy, eg in sheltered bays . Material that has been eroded from the coast is transported by the sea and later put down. Longshore drift is a process of transportation that shifts eroded material along the coastline. Swash carries sediment up the beach at an angle.
