They prevent long shore drift and allow sand to stay on the beaches. Despite this, groynes are expensive and ugly to look at very expensive, up to 10,000 pounds per metre.]]> 2018-05-17 00:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jones15/pk0g5qyncb91/wish/261421180 j_cartwright1 https://padlet.com/l_jones15/pk0g5qyncb91/wish/261421921  Waves are generated by wind blowing over the sea-the bigger the wind the bigger the waves. The characteristics of waves are determined by the strength of the wind, its duration and fetch. The stronger the wind the greater the friction on the surface of the sea and therefore the bigger the wave. Characteristics of a wave. ]]> 2018-05-17 01:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jones15/pk0g5qyncb91/wish/261421921 l_jones15 https://padlet.com/l_jones15/pk0g5qyncb91/wish/261422648 A sea wall is a curved wall on the edge of the coast line. It protects the base of cliffs and can prevent flooding, despite it's high cost (75,000,000 pounds.) Strong defenses of sea walls usually last around 30-50 years. The advantages of a sea wall are that they are efficient and strong against waves and prevent flooding. Although the disadvantages of a sea wall are that they are quite expensive and they can possibly erode over time.]]> 2018-05-17 01:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jones15/pk0g5qyncb91/wish/261422648 j_cartwright1 https://padlet.com/l_jones15/pk0g5qyncb91/wish/261422651 If you have a lot of money, beach replenishment is the best form of sea defense. This is because it looks natural and doesn't effect tourism.

This is because birth rates are high and medicine is less widely available for the elderly, meaning the top of the pyramid is very thin.
