in Alaska there are some very high tides. Turnagain Arm is famous for it's high tide and incredible tidal bore. The other that I am aware of is of course the Bay Of Fundy, NewBrunswick, Canada.

Th Great White Shark migrates to warmer waters each fall (autumn) and back again in the spring.\n\nAccording to the Bronx Zoo-based Wildlife Conservation Society, one female great white shark tagged in waters off South Africa completed the first known transoceanic trip for an individual shark, traveling farther than any other shark known, more than 12,400 miles (more than 20,000 kilometers) to the coast of Australia and back again. The shark was named Nicole (for Nicole Kidman, a well-known shark lover). Awwwwww!

In the South Atlantic there is a vast area for waves to develop, and much energy, as well as thousands of miles of  fetch, unbroken by land, for them to build. The southern oceans are known for their tremendous waves. The latitudes of the 50's and 60's south  are known for their wild waters(the roaring 50's)

River morphology (shape) is controlled by a number of characteristics. River channels can be broken into three types, straight rivers, single channel meandering rivers, and braided rivers (multi-channel). The amount and size of the sediment the river carries, the slope of the river channel, and the amount of water in the river determine the shape of the river channel. \n\nStraight rivers tend to have the lowest sediment load and the lowest slope. Meandering rivers have slightly more slope, and much more sediment load, and braided rivers have both the highest slopes and greatest sediment loads. \n\nRiver channels in cross section often have a cup-like  shape with the deepest portion, known as the thalweg, found on one side or the other. This thalweg has the highest flow velocity and because it flows faster it can cut into the bank it is closest to, while the shallow part of the river slows down and drops sediment. This action causes both meandering rivers and braided rivers to move their channels from side to side in a valley over time. Straight channel rivers also have thalwegs that move but the effect is much less. \n\nAs rivers go from mountainous terrain to nearly flat valleys they change from braided streams and rivers to meandering rivers. As they approach sea level they form deltas where the flow often separates into separate branching channels. A great deal of the sediment load of the river is deposited on the delta, and as the river flows into the ocean it builds the delta outward. Rivers like the Mississippi have built deltas far out into the ocean with sediment piles that are several miles deep.

I think that what you are asking about might be better called coastal deposition.\n\nOver the span of geologic time the sea level has changed dramatically. As the sea level has moved up and down over time the coastal erosion process has created continental shelves that are covered in deposits eroded from dry land around some continents. This process has also helped shape the coastlines of the continents. \n\nOne of the more spectacular examples of coastal deposition are river deltas. The sediment carried by the river is deposited as the flow of river water slows. This tends to sort the sediments according to the energy level of the water that is flowing into the open ocean. First larger grains like gravel and pebbles settle down, and as the river slows, sand, and finally clay size particles settle out of the water. Many river deltas have built up sediment deposits that are several miles thick and cover areas as large as some states. Most of southern Louisiana is a river delta deposit. \n\nAlong many coasts there is a predominant wind direction that helps to build coast long-shore currents. These currents move parallel to the coastline and will cause sediment accumulations (from rivers) such as sand bars and islands to slowly migrate in one direction. Much of the sand on beaches is actually slowly migrating along the shore. As heavier winter waves move the sand offshore, the sand also tends to move along the shore and sometimes temporarily moves back up onto the beach at a new location. \n\nAnother geologic process that is involved in coastal change is both uplift and subsidence. Uplift is taking place on some coasts due to tectonic plate motion. Other coasts are subsiding, or sinking, due to both faulting and slow compaction of underlying sediments. This sort of subsidence is taking place along the Gulf Coast of the US where there are large growth faults that parallel the coast that are sinking towards the Gulf. Sediment deposited thousands and millions of years ago is still settling in some areas and this leads to loss of coastal wetlands and rising local sea level. \n\nIn other areas coastlines are being changed by local erosion of uplifted sediments (e.g. California). Landslides carry hillsides down to the coastline. Another change in many coastlines is being caused by a geologic process called isostacy. As glaciers accumulated across North America during the last ice age, they weighed down that part of the earth's crust and caused it to sink into the asthenosphere. The glaciers melted long ago, but the areas that were covered by glaciers are still rising. This creates a sort of teeter-totter effect, where some coastlines like parts of the East Coast of the US and the Louisiana coast are sinking. \n\nInformation on isostatic rebound:\nhttp://www.homepage.montana.edu/~geol445/hyperglac/isostasy1/\n\nMississippi River Delta:\nhttp://www.lacoast.gov/geography/basins/mr/\n\nExplanation of long shore drift:\nhttp://www.cofc.edu/CGOInquiry/longshoredrift.htm\n\nGood explanation of barrier islands:\nhttp://www3.csc.noaa.gov/beachnourishment/html/geo/barrier.htm\n\nA very good illustration of differential erosion in a coastal setting:\nhttp://www.rgs.edu.sg/events/geotrip/stack.html\n\nUN Coastal Types:\nhttp://www.oceansatlas.com/servlet/CDSServlet?status=ND0yNzYwJmN0bl9pbmZvX3ZpZXdfc2l6ZT1jdG5faW5mb192aWV3X2Z1bGwmNj1lbiYzMz0qJjM3PWtvcw~~

what do you need to know?\n\nthey are widest down south, and get narrow up north (as the mountains get closer to the sea).\n\nalong the sea, they are lined with inlets and wetlands that are prime bird migration habitats, and were easily linked to form the Intracoastal Waterway.

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are violated and altered.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world [1]. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.\n\nAmerican journalist Vincent Gaddis in the 1960s renamed this region from "The Devil's Triangle" to "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle," but the shortened version "Bermuda Triangle" is far more common.\n\nOther areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex or the Great Lakes Triangle, located in eastern Lake Ontario.\n\nI dont think its disappeared....
