what should I expect in a beach wedding?

Jessie

Besides the obvious, looking into weather and nice beaches, what else should i look into for a beach wedding? I'm not looking to have anything too fancy (under $5000), and I already have a professional photographer.

Answer
Check the tides - incoming tide can be noisy, outgoing tide can be noisy, low tide can make the background less scenic

Check how busy the beach is and what the rules regarding nudity - you don't want a topless hottie captured in the background of your photos of you taking your vows

Find out if you need permits for decorations, furniture etc

Check the temperature range - on a hot day the sand itself can be unbearably hot.

Is the beach sheltered - if it is not you could end up with the wind blowing a gale around you meaning that no-one present will be able to hear the ceremony. Even so, check what times of the day are windier than others.

Ask if the officiant will bring a PA system - almost invariably you will need one to ensure that your guests will hear the ceremony - wind, water, gulls etc make a lot of noise

Check how far your guests will have to walk to the ceremony spot from the car park or drop-off point - and how far away the toilets are! If you are needed to transport chairs, arches, Bali Flags or other decorations to the site this is also a consideration.

How old should we reach in order to be a volunteer for a pet shelter?

beach shelter image

I'm 12 and i want to be a volunteer for Humane Society in Huntington BEach. But i'm afraid that i'm too young to be a volunteer. Does anyone know about this? I'm kinda experienced with dogs. I used to have 2 dogs in the past so i know how to take care of dogs. And can anyone tell me what a VOLUNTEER does? Walk the dogs, feed them, bathe them, take care of them? Please help

Answer
Minimum age at the Orange County Humane Society in Huntington Beach is 18 years of age: http://ochumanesociety.com/custom_content/c_88885_pawticipate_volunteer_programs.html If your parents consent, it's possible that your family could volunteer as a foster home. You would take care of animals that need extra TLC until they are able to be put up for adoption.

What are the differences between a beach and a "headlands and bays"?

Ayumi

Please list as many as you can think of. (It is revision for my geography test tomorrow. 10 points for best answers)

Example:
Beach are formed by deposition but headland and bay are formed by deposition and erosion.

Answer
A headland is a point of land, usually high and often with a sheer drop, that extends out into a body of water. The word is often used as a synonym for promontory. A headland is often referred to as simply a head, either in context or in names such as Beachy Head or Koko Head. Gibraltar is a headland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headland#List_of_some_well-known_headlands --------

Headlands and bays are often found together on the same stretch of coastline. A bay is surrounded by land on three sides, whereas a headland is surrounded by water on three sides. Headlands are characterized by high, breaking waves, rocky shores, intense erosion, and steep sea cliffs. Bays generally have less wave (and often wind) activity than the water outside the bay, and typically have sandy beaches. Headlands and bays form on discordant coastlines, where bands of rock of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the coast. Bays form where weak (less resistant) rocks (such as sands and clays) are eroded, leaving bands of stronger (more resistant) rocks (such as chalk, limestone, granite) forming a headland, or peninsula. This difference in the rate of erosion is caused by differential erosion. Refraction of waves occurs on headlands concentrating wave energy on them, so many other landforms, such as caves, natural arches and stacks, form on headlands. Wave energy is directed at right angles to the wave crest and lines drawn at right angles to the wave crest (orthogonals) represent the direction of energy expenditure. Orthogonals converge on headlands and diverge in bays which concentrates wave energy on the headlands and dissipating wave energy in the bays. In the formation of sea cliffs, wave erosion undercuts the slopes at the shoreline and they retreat landward. This creases the shear stress in the cliff-forming material and accelerates mass movement. The debris from these landslides collects at the base of the cliff and are also is removed by the waves, usually during storms where wave energy is greatest. This debris provides sediment, transported through longshore current for the nearby bay. Joints in the headlands are eroded back to form caves which erode further to form arches. These gaps eventually collapse and leave tall stacks at the ends of the headlands. Eventually these too are eroded by the waves. Wave refraction disperses wave energy through the bay, and along with the sheltering effect of the headlands this protects bays from storms. This effect means that the waves reaching the shore in a bay are weaker than the waves reaching the headland and the bay is thus a safer place for water activities like surfing or swimming. Through the deposition of sediment within the bay and the erosion of the headlands, coastlines eventually straighten out then start the same process all over again.More....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlands_and_bays --------- A beach is a geological landform along the shoreline of an ocean or lake. It usually consists of loose particles which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, waves or cobblestones. The particles of which the beach is composed can sometimes instead have biological origins, such as shell fragments or coralline algae fragments.

Wild beaches are beaches which do not have lifeguards or trappings of modernity nearby, such as resorts and hotels. They are sometimes called undeclared, undeveloped or undiscovered beaches. Wild beaches can be valued for their untouched beauty and preserved nature. They are most commonly found in less developed areas such as Puerto Rico, Philippines, Thailand or Indonesia.

Beaches often occur along coastal areas where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments.More............ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach
