A barrier island is a coastal accident composed of sand and other sediments. It might be narrow, of low height, and parallel to the coasts, but separated from them. In general, barrier islands appear like chains that can be composed of a few or several islands. These chains might extend for many kilometers. Their formation depends on many oceanic factors, which can easily form them and then make them disappear, such as waves, tides, streams, and other physical factors of the ocean. They are significant because they protect the coasts and lands from erosion and the damage caused by the storms. Besides, the barrier islands usually provide habitat for many different species. Their shape is very dynamic. They form, get eroded, change position, change their size, disappear and appear again through time.
An estuary is a region where freshwater mixes with seawater. These are unique ecosystems where many different species can live in.
A marsh is a depressed area saturated and cover by water, where many aquatic plants grow.
A sea wall is a structure that is placed on the coasts and that protects them from erosion, specifically, wave erosion. These structures are not separated from the land.
Barrier islands represent a class of coastal landform composed of sand and sediments that forms parallel to the coast. These islands are constantly changing, being shaped by different factors which include water currents (ocean currents), erosion and waves. Some of the most important parameters that influence the length and width of barriers are tidal range (i.e., the height difference between high tide and low tide), wave energy (i.e., the energy restrained from oceanic waves), the amount of sediment supply and sea-level trends.
You’re body uses sweat to cool off in high temperatures. I don’t think vaporization has anything to go with it. Also, the water wouldn’t be hot since you’re cooling off by using it.
They are similar because they both produce energy but in two different forms.
Photosynthesis- It produces oxygen and G3P, simple carbohydrate molecules that are high in energy and can be converted into glucose, sucrose, or other sugar molecules.
cellular respiration-During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water.
RNA synthesis depends on RNA polymerases (RNAPs). This is the enzyme
that faciliates copying a sequence of DNA which is the first step
leading to gene expression. This multi-step process is important for
researchers to understand especially in relations to studying how
genetics influence disease processes.
