    B. Answer the following question briefly.

    1. Based on your personal experience, what hydrometeorological warning output is


    . the most helpful to you? Justify your answer.

    2. is coastal erosion inevitable? Explain.

    - not quit. Coastal erosion effects the coastal population, people who are near the
    coastal area. Waves are the most likely the culprit behind Coastal erosion, as crushing
    of water exerts pressure when it hits an object depending on the power of the wind and
    at the same removes soils and small particles of rocks. This waves become serious
    when storm arise, it amplifies sea water level and produce sustained wind that are fast
    and strong which lead to strong waves that can threaten not-very-erosion-resistant.
    However as we thought of it as an inevitable, Engineers has a come up with different
    solution on how to mitigate with this kind geological process. some solutions involves
    armouring the shore with structure like sea wall, bulkhead, and revetment, this building
    are design to withstand impact of waves, which are groin, breakwater, and hard
    armouring,example of Hard Armoring is here in Legazpi at puro. There still other
    solution

    3. Describe how tourism-related activities accelerate coastal erosion.


    - the influx of tourist to coastal area can lead to increase of coastal erosion. As we all
    know beaches and coral reef are most sought-after places, due great its scenario and
    best place for recreational activity. Economic activities are always present in places
    where people more likely go to. This is the reason why coastal erosion can be amplified
    because of the establishing of infrastructure, being crowded,
