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.
Factors Affecting the Rate of Erosion. The biggest factor affecting coastal erosion is the strength of the waves breaking along the coastline. A waveâs strength is controlled by its fetch and the wind speed. Longer fetches & stronger winds create bigger, more powerful waves that have more erosive power.
