Answer:

planform and cross-shore profile of the subaqueous beach, the subaerial beach and adjacent dune) will always tend to a state of dynamic equilibrium. If some parts are highly resistant to erosion (presence of hard outcrops or cliffs, for example), this can take a very long time. However, if the active coastal zone consists exclusively of loose sediments, a state of dynamic equilibrium can be reached in rather short periods, of the order of years or decades. The longer periods hold for beaches in the vicinity of coastal inlets. The beach state at equilibrium is not static, but fluctuates around the equilibrium state in response to fluctuations in hydrodynamic factors (tidal cycles, wave climate) and sediment supply.

When looking north, you see stars

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

When looking north, you see stars appear to move in circles.

Explanation:

The motion of stars in northern hemisphere shows the circular motion that follows the path around the Polaris.
As it takes 24 hours to complete one full circle, so during a night less than 12 hour, we see only certain part of path i.e. stars moving in an arc.
And if you're facing north, they are moving from west to east.
So depending upon the time of observation the stars may take the path of an arc or the full circle.
