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.

N which side of a mountain is precepitation most likely to occur
sdas [7]
<span>The windward side (as opposed to the leeward side). This is the side facing the prevailing wind, where the air is forced up the mountain where it must cool, condense, and precipitate out its moisture. As it passes the mountain it will sink, whereby it compresses and warms, which is not conducive to precipitation or even clouds.

Hope this helps you with your question :P</span>
