Coastal Erosion in Chile Studies have found that 80% of Chilie's coastlines have erosion. This is linked from storm damage since 2015. Coastal erosion on four urban beaches on Valpariso Bay was analyzed. Satellite images and topography surveys were used to determine the spatial-temporal changes in the shoreline. These changes were from wave climate, and sea level. The analysis showed that Reneca beach experienced accretion of 12.6 between 1964 and 2006. Caleta Portales was really affected by a shore retreat of 12.6 between 2004 and 2016. All and all erosion rates are increasing. The sea level is rising to 30 CM during warm phases. Also, with the increase of extreme storms which went from 5 events in the 1960s to currently 20 events in the most recent years. This erosion is suggesting that these coasts could deteriorate if such factors become more prevalent. Erosion negatively effects the coasts. Wind waves, storm surges, crustal changes caused by earth...

Lake Poopo was once Bolivia's.  second largest body of water. The high-altitude lake hosted 200 species of birds, fish, mammals. In recent years the droughts became lengthy. Now abandoned fishing boats, burning salt, rust, fishing nets and bird feathers. Even Bolivia's waterways high in the Andes could not escape pollution. A Bolivian lake that was once beautiful thriving with wildlife has become a waterless basin full of plastic waste.  Lake Uru Uru was beautiful as well and was known for its large flamingo population. The lakes water has been discolored brown, black cadmium, zinc, and arsenic from a nearby mine. Lake Uru Uru is covered in plastic bottles and all manmade garbage. The Piles of trash come from the city of Oruro near the river where residents dump waste and also local mine companies leaks. The river nearby is without water therefore, so garbage keeps piling up with nowhere to go. coastal areas are dynamic en...
