This figure from the USGS shows the major parts of the typical barrier island system. 1  Open Water - Barrier Islands are found in areas where the sea floor slopes away gently to the continental shelf. The shallow angle of incoming waves makes it very easy to transport sediments in and out with waves, tides, and storms.
HomeLife Home Warranty. The HomeLife Home Warranty Programâ¢ is a powerful tool that protects both the buyer and seller from post-closing situations in the event of appliance, electrical, plumbing or other malfunction, which is not covered under the normal Home Insurance.
Extended car warranties. An extended car warranty will prolong the original warranty period or extend the mileage limit. For instance, a standard warranty might be three years or 36,000 miles, but a car buyer could extend that warranty to ten years or 100,000 miles if desired. Sometimes buyers have specific reasons for purchasing the extended warranty. This is especially the case for luxury car owners because luxury car parts tend to be more costly than parts for non-luxury vehicles. While extended car warranties can provide peace of mind, some believe such warranties are often unnecessary and rarely needed.
