Rivers Wind Sea

This document discusses the engineering importance of rivers, wind, and sea. It describes how rivers begin in high elevations and transport sediment to the sea. Wind is a sustainable energy source produced by sunlight. Sea engineering involves designing harbors and structures to shelter vessels from waves. River engineering maximizes benefits like water and materials while providing flood protection. The document provides examples of how these natural processes impact engineering design.

Work of rivers, wind, and sea
and their engineering
importance
• River begins its existence high in the
mountains or slopes.
• A stream could be created in a cool area by
melting snow or an ice sheet. In hotter
areas, streams frequently form when water
flows from a bowl-shaped array of highland
slants.
• The stream's responsibility is to change its
burden and transport it to the sea.
• Wind will continue to be produced as long
as the sun shines on the earth, it is
recognized as a sustainable energy source.

engineering importance
Winds
-High wind pressures can collapse doors and windows, rip off roofing and roof
decking and destroy gable end walls. The study of wind engineering is used to
examine and design all high-rise buildings, cable-suspension
bridges and cable-stayed bridges, electricity transmission towers
and telecommunication towers.

Work of rivers, wind, and sea and their
engineering importance

Sea
- Any part of a body of water and the manmade structures surrounding it that
sufficiently shelters a vessel from wind, waves, and currents, enabling safe
anchorage or the discharge and loading of cargo and passengers. The continuous
and immediate presence of the sea provides the engineer with an adversary certain
to discover any weakness in the structure built to resist it.

Work of rivers, wind, and sea and their
engineering importance

Rivers
• Rivers are the main source of the vulnerable river that accommodate the majority
of the world's population.
• Rivers provide water and construction aggregates, as well as ecological corridors
and economic transportation.
• River engineering benefits society by maximizing the numerous benefits while
providing flood protection.

Work of rivers, wind, and sea and their
engineering importance
• Denudation is the overall bringing down of the world's surface. 
• Rivers supply water and construction aggregates.
• Rivers with steep gorges and waterfalls provides natural sites where
hydroelectric power can be set up.
• The process of disintegration that takes place during rock movement and
collision is known as attrition. The movement of debris, whether by wind or
water, smooths and chips the surfaces of bedrock.
