Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The removal of natural vegetation would affect the growth of the dunes in a negative way for the family. While it may seem to them like a good idea to uproot the local vegetation, this would be a grave mistake since beach vegetation is largely responsible for protecting the integrity of the beachfront and protecting it from rampant erosion by wave action.

Another unexpected consequence would be the changing patterns of dune movements since vegetation also anchors dunes.

Answer:

c)  Removing the sand may increase beach erosion, and the area may suffer nearshore flooding.

Explanation:

  • It's since the removal of the sand along the beaches shores will result in more erosion and thereby the increase chances of the flooding along the beaches and this can have serious damage to the ecology of the surrounding areas.
  • Thus there is a risk of high tides and the risk is also associated with the development of large tidal inlets and the occurrences of large storm waves.

How can new technologies in geography help us to answer geography’s three key questions?
svp [43]

Geography's relevance to science and society arises from a distinctive and integrating set of perspectives through which geographers view the world around them. This chapter conveys a sense of what is meant by a geographic perspective, whether it be applied in research, teaching, or practice. Due to space limitations, it does not attempt to cite the many excellent examples of research illustrating geography's perspectives; the citations refer mainly to broad-ranging summaries of geographic research that are intended as resources for further reading.

Taking time to understand geography's perspectives is important because geography can be difficult to place within the family of academic disciplines. Just as all phenomena exist in time and thus have a history, they also exist in space and have a geography. Geography and history are therefore central to understanding our world and have been identified as core subjects in American education. Clearly, this kind of focus tends to cut across the boundaries of other natural and social science disciplines. Consequently, geography is sometimes viewed by those unfamiliar with the discipline as a collection of disparate specialties with no central core or coherence.

In general, what are the himalayan mountains composed of:____.
Dmitrij [34]

In general, what are the himalayan mountains composed of: folded and bent rock.

  • The geology of the Himalayas is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of the immense mountain range formed by plate tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion.
  • The Himalayas, which stretch over 2400 km between the Namcha Barwa syntaxis at the eastern end of the mountain range and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis at the western end, are the result of an ongoing orogeny — the collision of the continental crust of two tectonic plates, namely, the Indian Plate thrusting into the Eurasian Plate.
  • The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population, and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget.
