Types of erosion. Soil erosion is a widespread problem in rural and urban Queensland. If we want to save our soils, we need to understand the different types of erosion that can occur. Water erosion. Queenslandâs high intensity summer rainfalls represent a significant risk of erosion by water.
What is a Lagoon? Lagoons are shallow coastal bodies of water separated from the ocean by a series of barrier islands which lie parallel to the shoreline. Inlets, either natural or man-made, cut through barrier islands and permit tidal currents to transport water into and out of the lagoons.
Physical Features ï· The Indian River Lagoon (IRL) is a 156-mile long estuary located on Floridaâs East Coast. The lagoon is long and narrow, occurring between approximately 27ï° and 29ï° North latitude. ï· The IRL system is comprised of three distinct water bodies, Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River, and the Indian River.ï· The IRL is an estuary, not a river. Unlike true rivers, water flow in the IRL is not driven by gravity. Rather, it is the wind that primarily drives the circulation patterns within the lagoon.
