The westward migration of assateague island might be halted or even reversed if all of the groins, jetties, and seawalls around ocean city were removed. how might removal of all of these structures affect the risk of environmental damage to properties in ocean city?

In 1933 after the hurricane ocean city inlet are formed. In order to make the inlet steady and to prevent sand flow in north direction but the natural dune is hindered. When these structures are removed, it causes drastic soil erosion and submergence of the land.

Explanation:

Along the coasts of Maryland and Virginia, Assateague Island stretches for 37 miles. The islands in these part are barrier consisting of ocean currents and storms which reforms the land form. Sea level changing and movement of offshore sediments are affected.

The sand from dunes and upper beaches are removed in severe winter which reduces the width of beach. But in case of summer gentler wave action restores the shoreline.The erosion of sand takes place due to severe storms which is carried away by flood waters and re-deposited in marshes moving along westward and bring closer to mainland.

Science27 of the most iconic, jaw-dropping photos of the earth and the moon from spacedave mosher  oct 1, 2018, 11: 13 am etnasa/flickrapollo 11 astronauts took this photo of earth on july 20, 1969.from the ground, earth looks like a boundless fertile plain that beckons to be explored and exploited.but astronauts would beg -  and even plead  - to differ."you realize that people often say, 'i hope to go to heaven when i die,'" jim lovell, an astronaut who flew on the apollo 8 and apollo 13 missions to the moon, previously  told business insider. "in reality, if you think about it, you go to heaven when you're born."lovell has seen first-hand that we live on a tiny rock hopelessly lost in the void. he's also quick to tell you it's the only one we've got - a  fragile spaceship  for more than 7 billion people: "you arrive on a planet that has the proper mass, has the gravity to contain water and an atmosphere, which are the very essentials for life. and you arrive on this planet that's orbiting a star just at the right distance - not too far to be too cold, or too close to be too hot - and just at the right distance to absorb that star's energy and then, with that energy, cause life to evolve here in the first place. in reality, you know, god has really given us a stage, just looking at where we were around the moon, a stage on which we perform. and how that play turns out is up to us, i guess."humanity has recorded photos of earth from hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of miles away, some of them taken by lovell himself.these images not only scientists study our dynamic world, but also understand how a habitable planet looks from afar, which aids the search for  more worlds. most importantly, however, the images underscore our peculiar existence on  a mote of cosmic dust.take a moment to ponder 27 of the most arresting images of earth that humankind has ever captured from space.a
