Description

Learn all the basics of geology in our new conversational textbook - campGEO!Available here: geo.campcourses.comIn this episode, we take on the topic of Barrier Islands.  This is a very relevant topic because recent storms have devastated some of these Islands.  The intersection between geology and humans is always an interesting topic.  Barrier Islands need three things:Sand supplyBroad sloping coastlineWaves/tides/currents must be strong enough to move sand (high-ish energy)Waves must be dominant In this context we discuss the 3 ways in which they form.  Each Island has it's own unique story and all 3 scenarios play a role.  We also discuss the function of Barrier Islands in terms of protecting the mainland and also unique biological habitats.We hope you enjoy, and as usual please send us any questions you have!Like, Subscribe, and leave us a Rating!Like, Subscribe, and leave us a Rating!——————————————————Instagram: @planetgeocastTwitter: @planetgeocastFacebook: @planetgeocastSupport us: https://planetgeocast.com/support-usEmail: planetgeocast@gmail.comWebsite: https://planetgeocast.com/
