In order to protect the City of Galveston, Texas (located on a barrier islanD. from storm surges, a sea wall was built along the

coast of the island. As a result, wave energy that used to dissipate by running up the sandy beach, now runs into a concrete wall and reflects back onto the small beach in front of the sea wall. What do you suppose this process has done to the beach in front of the wall?

Answer:

The wall acts as a dissipator for the energy of the ocean waves.

That is why on some coasts to reduce the force with which the waves collide on the shore, breakwaters are made to stop said maritime energy.

Explanation:

That is why this wall, if it is well built, acts as a barrier and stops the waves dissipating it with less energy on the maritime coast.

How have the Balkan Mountains affected the cultures that live there?
lisov135 [29]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

One thing that the Balkan Mountains have done is create very distinct cultures. Every location has different cultures, but these mountains are very large physical barriers to cultural interaction, so this has led to a plethora of different ethnic and cultural groups in the Balkan region.

Another thing that they have done is create a sort of hierarchy where those that are more well off live in the valley, further away and from the mountains, and those who may not be as well off, considered inferior, or simply desire to practice transhumance, herding, or being a nomad will be dwelling in the mountains. It creates different "zones" based on the geography of the area.

A final thing these mountains have done is create cultural tension in the Balkan Peninsula. Since so many of these groups develop isolated from from other cultures, efforts to unite these groups usually fail and it leads to rancor between these distinct groups. This is why this area has been very war-torn before in states such as Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
