Geologic Characteristics, continued
Information on beach slopes was also collected. Most of the beaches that reported hotspots had slopes in the 5-9.99 degree range. It should be noted that the actual slopes were 5, 5.4 and 5.7 degrees, so the presentation of the data (at this stage) may be a little misleading. A very complete range of engineering structures are located around the hotspots, except at the Miami Beach hotspot, which reported no engineering structures. The structures reported were those within 1 kilometer of the center of the hotspot. The "Other" category included the following structures: buried wooden groins, stone dikes, bulkheads, and a pier.
