Beaches

Beaches form all over the world and can vary drastically from coastline to coastline. They are geological formation along the shoreline of any body of water; the ocean, lakes, and rivers. When you think of beaches, you usually think waves crashing, surfing, and sea life. Where this is typical of ocean beaches there are many types of beaches spread throughout the world. Most sand at these locations is made of loose particles composed of various rocks, shells, coral, and other miscellaneous substances. Beaches can vary in size, color, temperature, and overall climate depending on the location and age. Beaches are not only affected by the body of water they accompany, but also wind, temperature, and human influences. Life forms that inhabit these areas can be found both in the water and areas of the shore. Many animals adapt to the harsh environment they offer. Some animals burrow deep into the beaches sandy soil, others find shelter in caves or shrubbery. The types of animals found at beaches also vary depending on location. Often accompanying beaches are dunes that extend further inland. Dunes can be relatively short and hard to discern from the beach itself, to miles of inland sand deposits. There are also other types of beaches, artificial. These can be located on a shoreline or be inland at a pool. The allure of these seaside locations is well known and artificial creations have been implemented into numerous hotels around the globe. These beaches usually require a large amount of upkeep and specialty equipment to deal with all of the loose sand.
