  36. emerging coastlines straighten in much the same fashion as erosion of headlands creates sea caves, sea arches and sea stacks instead of bay beaches, spits and bay bars; however the result is similar in that headlands are reduced in size which straightens the coastline. Compare the headland length in figure 3.11 before and after erosion. submerging coastlines; Straightening of Emerging Coastlines

  37. In this lesson you will: 1.9.1 Examine examples to illustrate how human activity adapts to land forms and water forms. 1.9.2 Examine examples to illustrate how land forms and water forms affect accessibility. 1.9.3 Justify a preference for the appeal of selected landforms and water forms. 1.9.4 Propose a solution to a threat posed by selected land and water forms. Landforms Affect Human Activity

  38. Humans have adapted to most conditions on earth. Look at many small fishing villages in Newfoundland and you will see how people adapted to build houses up cliffs that overhang the ocean. The stilt houses of Bangladesh show how humans have adapted to living in delta regions. Human adaptation

  39. Assigned Readings "Storm surges in Bangladesh" on p. 50-51 in your text book.

  40. In this lesson you will learn: To develop a proposal for the economic use of selected landforms or water forms. (i) Economic Proposal

  41. You will be expected to write an economic proposal for a given land form or water form. You could be asked to write a proposal for a river with many large water falls or with small rapids; you could be asked to write a proposal for a mountain near the coast. Economic Proposal

  42. The economic activity must fit the terrain.  For example a hydroelectric generating station on a slow meandering old river might not be a good idea whereas boat tours might be. How would the environment be impacted?  Obviously you would need an environmental impact study and a means of reducing the impact on nature. Is the area accessible to people or machinery?  You must be able to access it to make money. How might building and erosion forces impact your proposal in the short term and long term? What types of potential problems accompany the land or water form.  For example flooding accompanies old meandering rivers. Consider the following when you do a proposal
