Review
6. A rip current is a narrow stream of water flowing toward the ocean, like a wave going back in to the ocean. A rip current can be hazardous for swimmers because the can move very quickly and it is easy for a swimmer to get caught in one and be stuck under water before drowning.
10. The fuel that powers tropical cyclones and extratropical cyclones are very high sea surface temperatures, moisture in the surrounding air, and the coriolis effect.
CRITICAL THINKING
6. A undeveloped barrier island is constantly changing because it is constantly reacting to the constant actions of the waves and winds in conjunction with one another. So this makes the islands move slowly but continuously by the way that the wind can erode the shore and move the sand to another part of the island, forcing it to slowly move.
10. Some ways that rising sea level can impact a coastal zone would be the erosion that the new higher waters are touching land, It could also push sea life farther up land where waters haven’t been. Also it can also cause a disturbance to the life where the water is rising.
