Sand Erosion
This photo was taken at Fort Fisher near the aquarium. I chose this photo because you can see the line in the sand of where the tide has gone up to, as seen by the slight line of smaller shells and debris. Although this doesn't directly show it within this picture, I thought it related back to erosion. Beaches in the general surrounding area often battle with the problem of beach and dune erosion. Heavy rain, tide, wind and many other variables add to this problem. I'm originally from Michigan and I'm used to seeing huge sand dunes, almost 100 feet above the water level. Michigan sand dunes don't experience tides, as heavy rains as North Carolina or as heavy winds so they don't experience such a drastic difference in their beaches compared to this beach featured in the photo.
