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.

Why might native Americans living today be uncomfortable with Columbus Day as it has been celebrated through most of the 20th ce
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Columbus was a horrible man that killed, enslaved, tortured and raped Natice Americans when they did nothing to him besides welcomed him onto their land with open arms. He forced his believes onto Native Americans and brought deadly diseases that killed the majority of the Native population. A day that is "celebrated" because he "found" America (although he didn't) despite the awful things he did would be upsetting knowing that person is the reason millions had died.
