The coastlines of the world are constantly being impacted by waves,
currents, and storms. Choose your favorite coastline (or least favorite)
and describe how it is affected by those factors. The section of
coastline you select should be less than 100 miles in length. In your
essay, discuss how your coastline changed over time, through erosion and
deposition. Consider including air photos, satellite images, and/or
maps to show the historic changes to the coastline. What features are
found along it? Ones you might mention include but are not limited to
barrier islands, headlands, bays, caves, arches, sea stacks, cliffs, and
wave-cut platforms. Finally, consider the future of your coastline. How
might it change as sea level rises due to global climate change, and
how might waves, currents, and storms contribute to those changes?Your paper should meet the following requirements:2-3 pages in length3-4 outside sourcesFormatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.)
