Weight Loss. If you want to lose weight, you will need to adjust your caloric intake accordingly. One pound of body weight is equal to 3,500 calories. To lose a pound a week, you would need to eat 3,500 fewer calories a week, burn that same number of calories in a week or do a combination of the two in a week. With a few simple changes, you can reduce your caloric intake.
Lesson Summary. Let's review. Coastal erosion is the wearing away of coastal land or beaches and is mainly caused by the impact of waves. Waves do not typically strike the shore head on. Wave refraction is the bending of waves as they travel toward the shallow waters of the shore.
4.0 Human Impacts on Coastal Sand Dune Ecosystems. As mentioned in the previous chapter, humans have been responsible for changing the lithosphere and biosphere on Coastal Sand Dunes. The Stockton Bight Coastal Sand Dunes are no exception and humans have had both positive and negative impacts upon them. 1. Positive Impacts a) Aboriginals, fire and the Encouragement of Biodiversity. The most positive human impact that has been made on the Stockton Bight Coastal Sand Dunes was by the Aboriginal people, particularly the Worimi Nation. The Worimipeople, through a practice called fire stick farming, have actively encouraged vegetation growth. As explained earlier, vegetation plays two important roles on Coastal Sand Dunes. Firstly, it helps stabilise dunes by trapping and stabilising the sand particles.
