Description

The Nature of the Outer Banks: Environmental Processes, Field Sites, and Development Issues, Corolla to OcracokeNorth Carolina's Outer Banks are in constant motion, responding to weather, waves, and the rising sea level. Beaches erode, sometimes taking homes or sections of highway with them into the surf; sand dunes migrate with the wind; and storms open new inlets and dump sand in channels and sounds. A classic guide, The Nature of the Outer Banks describes these dynamic forces and guides visitors to sites where they can see these phenomena in action. In the

North Carolina's Outer Banks are in constant motion, responding to weather, waves, and the rising sea level. Beaches erode, sometimes taking homes or sections of highway with them into the surf; sand dunes migrate with the wind; and storms open new inlets and dump sand in channels and sounds. A classic guide, The Nature of the Outer Banks describes these dynamic forces and guides visitors to sites where they can see these phenomena in action.

In the first section of the book, Dirk Frankenberg highlights three major processes on the Outer Banks: the rising sea level, movement of sand by wind and water, and stabilization of sand by plant life. In the second section, he provides a mile-by-mile field guide to the northern Banks, and in the final section, he alerts readers to the dangers of overdevelopment on the Outer Banks. In a new foreword for this edition, Betsy Bennett documents the ever-more-critical situation of these shifting sands.

True copper battery cables that are high quality
Size: 10ft, Color: 4awg
I love having heavy duty cable on hand for my cars. It's so nice to be able to make your own starter and alternator cables when restoring cars. These cables are 100% copper, not CCA (copper clad aluminum) like many others are. Copper is far superior for conductivity and handling higher loads. The rubber on the cable is thick and yet very flexible..it's clearly marked and seems very durable. I like to use a hydraulic crimping tool and then add marine grade heat shrink tubing with the adhesive inside of it to keep it as weatherproof as possible.

Easy to work with
I bought this to wire up an airplane I built. I had to cut it into 10 separate pieces and crimp and solder lugs to each end. It was just the right length for what I needed and I'm very happy with the results.

Good product. I will buy again.
Great value. It did show up covered in small fiberglass particles which was a bit annoying.

Excellent true copper wires 6 AWG cable
I bought them to use on sub-wiring job running 12vdc from positive terminal to custom fuse box of my van. This cable maybe mainly for welding machine, but it works great for my project with its true copper wires and high flexibility.

Used for 140 amp alternator to battery
Before that wire would get hot to the touch. Carry’s the current like a chap. Important that it is copper and multiple braided
