2、also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors like coastal building developments, which can affect a beachs health.The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the more heattrapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the worlds beaches are likely to be.Its hard to overstate just how important the worlds beaches are.They cover more than one third of the worlds coastlines, and protect coasta

4、n an attempt to hold precious sand in place.But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rough seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle.However, the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the worlds beaches.If the worlds governments are able to stick to modest cuts in heattrapping gas pollution, the researchers found that 17% of projected beach losses by 2050 could

8、I wouldnt throw away the idea of school uniform.

9、cus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment, allowing students to perform better academically.
