Exercises
The questions in these exercises are designed to have students understand the relationship between coastal erosion and cultural forces and to recognize links between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere in Earth's climate system.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Coastal Erosion

The Cape Hatteras lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in the United States, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lighthouse was built on the barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks over 120 years ago. In recent years coastal erosion threatened this historical landmark. This exercise reviews contrasting perspectives on how to deal with the threat of erosion. We will examine the interaction between politics and science, and conflicts between citizen groups and federal agencies.
