Beach erosion is when the waves take away the sand and when it takes away rocks. they are trying to get sand dunes to build up to build a barrier between the ocean and the houses. I would maybe try to help i mean theres not much we can do i mean we are the ones that caused and we cant really fix it. we have to let nature do its thing.

The beach erosion is being caused by waves that take away the sand and rocks. they are trying to get sand dunes to build up to build a barrier between the ocean and the houses, so it doesn't effect the houses. I would try to help ecspecially if i lived in a house near the ocean. There wouldn't be much you could do since nature is just taking its natural course.

Kilgore, Sydney said...

I agree with you Anthony. Erosion just happens and we really can't change that. Do you think if the create the sand dunes it will stop or slow the erosion process?

PAPATHANAS,ANTHONY said...

yeah i agree with sydney if i lived by the ocean would escpically try to help out then because it would kinda be my fault.

beach erosion is when the waves erode the rocks and sand away. they are trying to build dunes. i would definetly help them try to fix the problem.

oleary stephanie said...

i agree with anthony beacause we cant stop erosion its a natural cause.

Beach erosion is when the water comes up on shore and it carries the sand and rocks away. In califrnia they are trying to build sand dunes between shorline and the houses. Yes i would be willing to help because i love the beaches and i do not want them to go away.

I really dont think that if we create sand dunes it will help becuase if the waves take away regular sand then it will probably take down a sand dune and also if we build those up they have to be pretty tall so how will we get to the ocean.

anonymous said...

I agree with sydney and anthony:
Erosion is something thjat happenes and sooner or later we will not be able to stop it.

@sydney:
i think the sand dunes will work for a couple years but after awhile they too will be eroded.

Beach erosion is when waves take away the sand and rocks from the shore. they are trying to build sand dunes to to act as a barrier between the ocean and houses. yes i would help and send some money to help if it would help

i agree eith anthony that we have to let nature do its thing but we can try to prevent it from taking homes eventually

Beach Erosion is when the waves take away rocks and sand.
California is trying to build up sand dunes to a barrier between the ocean and houses so it doesnt harm the community. I would deffinetly help in this type of effort because I might live by the ocean, or a close family member or friend might too. There wouldnt be a lot to do though because nature is just doing what it suoopsed to.

Beach erosion is the ocean taking away sand and rocks.They are trying to build a barrier between the ocean and the houses, so it doesn't effect the homes of people. I would help because if it was me living in a home near the beach I would want other people to help. We probably could't do much to help though because its
's not our choice;it's natures.

@Sydney;
I think the sand dunes effort will just slow down erosion, not stop it. Eventually the sand dunes will collapase and erosion will come in again.

Sheridan,Megan said...

Madison,
I agree with you. I would help people out too because I would not want to be in a situation like that. Even if a good friend or family member lived there i would still not want to be in that situation so I would help.

@megan
I agree with you, it's nothing we can really do because it's natures decision and like what Ethan said in a couple of years the sand dunes could also erode.

Beach erosion is when the waves crash on the shoreline and takes away sand and rocks.
The state of California is trying to get sand dunes to build up a barrier between the houses and the beach.
I would help if there was anything I could do but there really isnt because we cant fix erosion.We just have to let nature do its own thing.

Madison Schnell said...

Even if i didnt live by the ocean i would still try to help out as much as possible, because it could end up effecting almost the whole city.

Park Deborah said...

Beach erosion is when the ocean waves takes away sand and rocks. Someplaces like california they are starting to make sand dunes between houses and oceans because they don't want their houses destroyed. Maybe if we actually work together we can fix these things. I would be willing to help because there are alot of people i care about that live near beaches.
I think there should be a fundraiser fix this problem

Royer Rachel said...

@ Sydney
I think the sand dunes will just slow down the process of erosion but not stop it.Besides eventually the sand dunes will get destroyed by erosion.
What do you think the people in California are going to do next after the sand dunes get destroyed?

KAM said...

@Rachel
I as wondering the same thing, what do you think the people in California are going to do next after the sand dunes get destroyed?

I also agree with anthony
beacause we cant stop erosion its a natural cause, that we have to let nature do its thing but we can try to prevent it from taking homes

anonymous said...

Becah erosion is the process in which the waves take away the sand and rocks. They are trying to get sand dunes to build up to build a barrier between the ocean and the houses.&& I would definitley try to help as much as I could, I would hate for the beaches to go away.

anonymous said...

@ Megan Sheridan,
I agree, we can't really do anything because it isn't our choice, it is natures, but if it was our choice I'm almost positive that we would all do the best we can to help the beaches and homes.

Beach erosion is when the ocean takes away sand and rocks. There tring biuld up up a barier between the house and ocean of sand dunes. But thers nothing we can do.

anonymous said...

Tony I agree with you that we really can`t do anything about the beach erosion since its nature.

When the tides come in, the sand is deposited on the shore but the sand and rocks are taken away as waves return to the ocean. In California they are building sand dunes to make a barrier between the ocean and the houses. I would try to help with the ocean barrier but I would be more motivated to help if I lived there.

anonymous said...

Beach erosion is erosion due to the waves. When waves crash on the beach it causes the rock and coast line to erode. In California they are trying to us big mounds of sand to build bariers between houses and the ocean. Maybe it depends on what I would be doing and working in the sun all day doesn't sound like fun to me.

Beach erosion is when the waves crash onto the sand and take away the rocks and stuff. They are trying to build sand dunes to build some sort of a barrier between the houses and the ocean. I probably would try to help even though it seems like a lot of work because it may help protect the buildings from being washed away in the future.

I disagree with you antony I mean nature is doing its thing but we can do somthing to stop it or else the builders wouldn't be helping in the first place.

Beach erosion is when the tide/waves takes away sand and rocks and other beach stuff. In California, they're building a wall to try to prevent this. The only problem is, is that over time, that wall could erode away too! Would I be willing to help? Yes,but not a lot. I mean, I didn't grow up living right along side the beach and I don't live near this beach. I wouldn't want to help physically, but I would donate anything I could to help the cause. I go to a beach ever summer, so I know how important that is for California. They're whole economy basically relies on beaches.

anonymous said...

beach erosion is when the ocean takes away the sand and erodes the rocks they are trying to make sand dunes barriers for the houses so the ocean doesnt hit them. i think that this is very imaginative.

dace,connor said...

The erosion of the sand away from the beach by the water. They are trying to keep the sand by putting more sand there along the beach. Yes I would help to save the enviorment every little bit counts.

batmanstake said...

beach erosion is when water keeps washing up against the shore and that eventually causes the rock there to break down. i thought it would be common knowledge to not live by the beach, but they built houses there and people moved in anyway probably not knowing what could happen. they are trying to stop it from going to the houses, but the water will eventually break down enough on the rock and sand.

i agree with emily and i would also try to help if i was living down there to save my house and everybody elses house.

keene,carlie said...

i wonder how this happened? well beach erosion is when the waves sweep away rocks and sand and thats what is happening to most of the calafornia beaches and its endangering the people to. the erosion is cvering 1,100 square miles on the coast of calafornia. we caused this and we cant fix what we have alredy done so you need to just let nature d its thing. but there tring to put up sand dunes that will seporate the beach from the houses.

A, Owen said...

Beach is when the sand on the beach starts to disapear back out to the ocean. I would like to help with building the sand duns to keep the beaches from going away

Anonymous said...

beach erosion is from the waves hitting up against the rocks or rolling into the sand and pickingmit up which makes the ground of ocean usually but stillwe really cant stop it so really just stop trying to stop it

Anonymous said...

yes i very much agree with tony how we cant stop it so we should just let it be

Bass,Zoey said...

beach erosion is when waves take away the sand and rocks from a beach.they are trying to build up a barrier between the ocean and the houses that are by the beach. i would try to help i guess, but i agree with emma cliffe, the barriers will just go away too over time.... i think California will just have continue to focous on more important things...

freel,amanda said...

Beach Erosion is:
Beach erosion is when the waves wash the rocks and sand away.I think Beach Erosion is and isnt cool.
Its Cool because: Well, its Erosion and erosion is a little cool.
It isnt cool because: Well, it washes away our beach sand/ and rocks.

freel,amanda said...

I agree with Zoey Bass because:
I agree with Zoey because that is really what beach erosion does and it is pretty cool, well to me it is!!>>??<<

imushrush said...

beach erosion is when waves take away the sand and rocks or any other things on the beach.they are trying to build up a barrier between the ocean and the houses that are by the beach. I would agrea that would be the right thing

johnsholly said...

beach erosion is when the waves erode the sand and rocks away.they are trying to build sand dunes to biuld a barrier between the houses and the ocean.and i agree with anthony erosion can just happen and we cant change it

Kylie Hayes said...

Beach erosion is when waves take away the sand and rocks. A parking lot and bike path is being ripped up and moved farther from the sea. It will be replaced by rocks and sand that will allow the ocean to flow naturally. And they are trying to get sand dunes to build up so it will be able to provide as a natural barrier between the houses and the ocean. Of course I would be willing to help but the plans they have to save the beaches are more of mother earth work and there is not much we can do.


@Corissa Sturm,
Do you think that people would help out as much as we all think? I mean we all care about the beaches but now there are water parks and pools that people can swim at. I mean at the Beach Water park they have a sand area so its like a beach only with a pool instead of an ocean, plus there is a wave pool which is like the ocean. Im not saying people dont/wouldnt care but what do you think?

beach erosion is when the waves in the water cime ashore and take the sand and moce it around or take it in the water. they are trying to build an barrier in between the ocean and the houses.
