The protection of shorelines is important because of two reasons - shoreline areas often contain unique habitats for plants and animals and without protection the habitats can be completely lost. Because shorelines, especially ones in brackish water areas, containing a mix of fresh and salt water, and shallow, they contain very unique plants and animals that have responded to the specific conditions of those habitats, so essential it is important to protect these specialized species, if we believe that life is special. Without protection these areas, including the specialized plants and animals can disappear. Second, shoreline areas have developed over time to act as a barrier between the land and water, plants that capture the nutrients and prevent erosion have adapted to these areas. Without the protection these barrier shoreline habitats provide, there would be an increased loss of nutrients in the surrounding soils, as well as a decrease in the amount of top soil. Shoreline areas halt and/or slow the effects of erosion. It addition to habit loss for plants and other animals, humans can feel the effects through the loss of their own homes and/or businesses when shoreline areas are overexposed, which can expose humans to the devastating effects of nature from storms and flooding.

<span>It is important to protect our shores for environmental reasons. Just past the shores are grasses that provide habitat for birds and other animals. The shoreline is part of the ecosystem and disrupting vegetation throws the environment out of balance. In addition, the shoreline needs to be preserved to sustain economic vitality. Homes and businesses are often just past the shoreline. Without protection, an eroded shoreline will lower property values.</span>

The United States buys much of its oil from OPEC countries. How would an increase in prices affect the daily lives of people in
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

The OPEC oil embargo was an event where the 12 countries that made up OPEC stopped selling oil to the United States. The embargo sent gas prices through the roof. Between 1973-1974, prices more than quadrupled. The embargo contributed to stagflation.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) then took over, ruling the oil markets and oil prices in the years that followed. However, with the discovery of shale oil in the U.S. and advances in drilling techniques, the U.S. has since re-emerged as a top energy producer.

The rate of plate movement is only a few ________ per year so climate changes triggered by shifting plates happen on a scale of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

centimeters

Explanation:

The lithospheric plates move relative to the others at a very slow but continuous speed that is, on average, about five centimeters per year. This movement is ultimately driven by the unequal distribution of heat inside the Earth. The hot material found in the depths of the mantle moves slowly upwards and serves as a part of our planet's internal convection system. Simultaneously, colder and denser sheets of the oceanic lithosphere descend to the mantle, moving the rigid outer layer of the Earth into motion. Finally, the titanic friction between Earth's lithospheric plates generates earthquakes, creates volcanoes and deforms large masses of rock in the mountains.  But it causes climate changes to be experienced every million years.
