Column B
a.Wall of rock/cement built perpendicular to shoreline to reduce beach erosion
b.Natural causes of beach erosion.
c.Strategies by homeowners and communities to lessen the impact and burden of a potential flood. Often controlling how and where floodwater moves, while also taking care to build on higher ground.
d.Replenishing beaches with new sand that has been dug up offshore.
e.Built in Urban spaces to promote the benefits of vegetation.
f.A number that determines if a water source is acidic or basic
g.Area of ground that holds underground water- Must dig a well to reach this groundwater
h.Several crops grown at once can increase the output.
i.The act of digging up sand from under the water.
j.Storage of carbon in the soil or in the trees/shrubs/plants.
k.A farming method that reduces erosion by creating flat areas on a slope.
l.A greenhouse gas given off both naturally and by human activites
m.Too many nutrients in a freshwater source leads to algal blooms; destroys the ecosystem of the water source.
n.Top level of water in an Aquifer. A higher________ means more groundwater for well usage but also higher likelihood of flooding.
o.Practices that help to preserve land, water and other natures resources for FUTURE usage.
p.A farming method that uses trees to provide shade for the crops.
q.Ideal soil for crops: has a mix of sand, clay, silt
r.Destroyed homes & habitats, polluted water sources, increased food prices, loss of life and jobs
s.A farming method where different crops are planted seasonally, each of which require different nutrients from the soil. This prevents overuse of the soils nutrients.
t.General movement and loss of sand at a shoreline
