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.
In many of these cases, individual beaches may be losing only a few inches per year, but in some cases the problem is much worse. The outer coast of Louisiana, which Leatherman refers to as âthe erosion âhot spotâ of the U.S.,â is losing some 50 feet of beach every year. Of particular concern is the effect climate change, which not only causes sea levels to rise but also increases the severity and possibly the frequency of harsh storms, has on beach erosion.
