Shorelines

Shorelines
Shorelines, both ocean and lake, can be very beautiful settingsHowever, shorelines are some of the most geologically dynamic settings on EarthProcesses like shoreline erosion, sea level increases and deadly coastal storms (e.g., hurricanes) threaten the lives and property of billions of people worldwideAs of 2008 about 165 million people in the U.S. live within 50 miles of a marine coast

Coastal Processes Terminology
Current ( ) - unidirectional flow of water and energy caused by wind, water density differences and water temperature differences
Oceanic currents redistribute heat through the ocean and therefore play a critical role in climate (see figures)

Coastal Process TerminologyTides ( ) - periodic, rhythmic rise and fall of water along coastlines due to the gravitational tug of the Sun and Moon on the EarthMost oceanic coastlines experience two high tides and two low tides each day
Spring tide
Neap tide

Coastal Process TerminologyTsunami ( ) – omni directional flow of water away from a central point caused by any event (e.g., seafloor earthquake, submarine landslide) that vertically displaces water from its equilibrium position
Don’t call tsunamis “tidal waves”

Wave Terminology
Wave – undulation of the water surfaceCurrents, tides and tsunamis generate wavesWavelength – the horizontal distance between two adjacent wave crests or two adjacent wave troughs (see figure)Wave frequency – the number of waveforms that pass a fixed point per unit of timeThe higher the wave frequency the greater the wave’s impact or penetration energy
![Page 13: GSC 1530: Chapter 20 Shorelines. Shorelines, both ocean and lake, can be very beautiful settings However, shorelines are some of the most geologically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dbb5503460f94aacc28/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Wave frequency – the number of crests, or troughs, of a waveformthat pass a fixed point per unit of timeCommon units – cps (cycles per second); Hertz (Hz); 1 Hz = 1cpsWave base – the maximum depth to which energy from a surface wave is transmitted; equal to the wave’s wavelength/2
![Page 14: GSC 1530: Chapter 20 Shorelines. Shorelines, both ocean and lake, can be very beautiful settings However, shorelines are some of the most geologically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dbb5503460f94aacc28/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
As a wave approaches a shoreline, waves of oscillation transformto waves of translation – the predominant water flow is horizontal
![Page 15: GSC 1530: Chapter 20 Shorelines. Shorelines, both ocean and lake, can be very beautiful settings However, shorelines are some of the most geologically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dbb5503460f94aacc28/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Note “breaking” waves; they can perform substantial shoreline erosion
![Page 16: GSC 1530: Chapter 20 Shorelines. Shorelines, both ocean and lake, can be very beautiful settings However, shorelines are some of the most geologically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649dbb5503460f94aacc28/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Major Factors Controlling Shoreline Erosion
Topography (e.g., steep or shallow) of shorelineResistance of shoreline rocks or sediments to erosionErosive force of daily currents, tidesFrequency and intensity of high-energy storm events (e.g., hurricanes) or abnormal events like tsunamisFrequency of tectonic events (e.g., earthquakes)

Emergent and Submergent Coasts
Emergent coast – coastline rises relative to sea level as a consequence of sea level decline or land upliftSubmergent coast – coastline is lowered (covered by water) relative to sea level as a consequence of sea level increase or land subsidenceGlobal warming and cooling and plate tectonic motion can obviously affect long-term sea levels; what rapid, high energy process could quickly create emergent or submergent coasts? (see slide)

Coastal Processes
Shoreline erosion and sediment movement are also influenced by wave refraction
Wave refraction – change in shape of a waveform as it approaches shore; occurs when portions of the wave pass into waters of unequal depth (see figure)

Wave Refraction
Wave refraction is also responsible for establishing the longshore current and initiating littoral drift (beach drift) (see slides)

Dynamic Coastal Settings
Mainland beaches, barrier islands, spits and estuaries are some of the most dynamic settings on Earth
Let’s examine the geological characteristics of these settings and the hazards associated with their development

Let’s examine some of the impacts and consequences of human interaction with these dynamic coastal environments
Question to ponder: why do we develop land in these dynamic coastal environments? What ongoing controversy surrounds this development?

1969 Hurricane Camille Storm Surge Effects, MS Coast
Storm Surge – one or more domes (walls) of water that sweeps
across the coast near where the eye of the hurricane makes
landfall; can be 40-50 mi wide and have
heights of 10-30 ft above the mean high tide!

Human Intervention
Humans have tried multiple methods to minimize coastal erosion and storm impact; none of these approaches are failsafe or permanent and none can protect the coast from massive stormsMany of these approaches benefit some coastal properties while concurrently harming othersLet’s examine some of the common approaches
