Question

Select any THREE of the following questions and write a well constructed answer. 1. What type of coast does Connecticut have? Defend your answer. 2. How does a Connecticut beach change seasonally, in terms of volume of sediment, location of sediment and slope of the beach? 3. Most of us consider the beach to be that sediment above the water line? This is referred to as the recreational beach. Most coastal geologists also include the sediments below the water line in their definition of a beach. Why is the geologists concept really a more appropriate description? Why? 4. What forces move sediment in all the major beach zones? Is this a good way to distinquish between each zone? 5. What can you tell about a coastline from the amount and type of sediment(its color, size of particles and its composition) that is found there? 6. By what means has man tried to impede longshore drift. Explain how effective are these ways and how successful has it been.

Explanation / Answer

so here we need to give the answer of any of the 3 problem accordingly. so lets start with this one by one.

1) connecticut can be defined as it is the southernmost state in the new england in the coastal region of the northeast united states. the coast which have the connecticut are the region near to the coastal area of the greenland and the new england coastal region. these types of the connecticut have the subduction zone in them .

2) it get changed seasonally by the virtue of the sedimentation of the layers of the connecticut boundary. in this the boundary of the connecticut layers get sedimented and break down due to the effect of the weathering and the environmental factors like heat, seismic waves and the water.

4) it is the drag force or we can say the boyant force which act over there on the coastal side of the continent and create the motional force or the drag force on the coastal region. yes it is a good way to distinguished between these all.
