A beach by any other name

Geographical characteristics are used to classify the Earth's dynamic coast line in to dynamic sections. Physical characteristics are used to create shoreline classifications. Knowing the relationship between dynamic sections a shoreline sections help create stable shorelines.

sand

I thought the sand activity was very interesting. I learned a lot about the different types of sand and that they arent just different colors. They can have different sized pebbles, different types of sediment, and also different textures. The sand can range from being purple, pink, white, yellow, red, and gray. The sand/ pebbles could be in big chunks or it could be different shapes and also they could be different texture. Some could be more rocky than others and some could be more powdery, and also some could be more grainy. I learned a lot about sand that I never really thought about before.
