Scenario:
You are a coastal geologist and the owner of the famous tourist destination “Altiti’s Hotel, Resort, and Spa”. Over the years, you have noticed your beach slowly eroding away. Carefully consider what could be eroding your beach and what you can do to get your Resort to be the number one travel destination.
Directions:
For each of the following conditions, list and describe an event or process that could be eroding your beach. In other words, what is a potential cause of your beach eroding away? How do you account for that process? Is the erosion severe or do you have a couple years before it becomes a real concern?
onshore, naturally occurring on land or around the shoreline (5 points)
offshore, naturally occurring out at sea, away from the shoreline (5 points)
anthropogenic, influenced or altered by people (5 points)
For each of the following conditions, list and describe an event or process that could help restore or renourish your beach. In other words, what is a natural way that a beach can be restored? Would the natural process happen quickly or very slowly? What would be a possible negative side effect of the anthropogenic restoration effort?
onshore, naturally occurring on land or around the shoreline (5 points)
offshore, naturally occurring out at sea, away from the shoreline (5 points)
anthropogenic, influenced or altered by people (5 points)
