Bluff Cove is one of a kind place that feels like otherworldly. Distinctive from its physical and geological environment has an amazing view from the top of the trail to the bottom of the rocky beaches. The appearance of the landscape has a story to tell about its past and its future. As you scale down the trail and observe the area, you can see houses that look dangerously close to the sea cliff erosion. This has been a problem for Palos Verde’s since 1980 when a group of homeowners sued the city for a lack of negligent in the design of the drain system located below the houses that were damaged. There are ways to slow down this process by creating sea walls, cover landscape with tarps. You can provide plants that take water out the soil. We could repair or solidify the pipes. Grp know, as goffer relocation project is another problem associated with sea cliff erosion that we can help to slow down the process.
Half way done the hike, you can see a unique well-developed marine terrace caused by wave erosion, which gives it a more interesting physical environment. You can see the type of sedimentary rocks that composes the cliff. The compositions of these rocks have sand stone, shale and diorite, which were formed in the monetary about 15 million years ago. To observe and process the ocean land boundary is interesting and fun. To get an understanding of the terrain and what is it made of and how it works; you need to explore and examine it yourself.
Standing on top of a rock looking at the pattern of the waves as they roll in to the cove you notice the change of direction. Some of them come straight towards the coast while others veer in different directions. This is known as refraction that occurs because of wind change and energy distribution. Surfers seem to have a consistent nice break here from refraction.
As you walk on the beach, its low tide and you can see all the animals that live in the harsh physical conditions. They have adapted to endure the constant change from
