It discusses upwelling, which brings nutrient-rich water to the surface, and covers the influence of Greenland's ice on the Gulf Stream. Key vocabulary related to ocean dynamics, such as amplitude, crest, and tsunami, is defined to enhance understanding of these processes.

Seasonal changes affect beach characteristics, and human interventions like sand addition and coastal structures can complicate erosion management. Barrier islands provide storm protection but face urbanization challenges. Understanding wave energy is essential for effective coastal management and preserving shorelines.
