    Trees not only provide root systems and wind breaks, they also help hold moisture in the soil. Wet ground is more impervious to wind erosion.

    There are sand dunes all across the state of Michigan. They are just buried under the current levels of topsoil and the wide variety of plants growing there.
    I had a Geology class at Michigan State University in 1982. To reach the Lansing area, it was estimated to take 10,000 to 20,000 years. To cross the state to reach Lake Huron, Lake Saint Clair, Lake Erie, Saint Clair River, or the Detroit River too 10,000 to 40,000 years.
    We also have abundant evidence of glaciation across the state. Most are also buried under topsoil and the plants growing there, But there are a few moraines here and there that either were never covered by weather movements of sand and soil, or they were again uncovered. It was 2 and a half MILLION years ago that glaciers started south across Canada and the upper US. The last glacier retreated from Michigan just 12,000 years ago. Geology moves on different times scales.

    There have been earthquakes. I live in Metro Detroit and I have been here for exactly 2 earthquakes. 1986 I worked at the Dearborn Post Office Vehicle Maintenance Facility, which is built on fill in a formerly slightly swamy area. It is also right next to the railroad tracks. At the time of the earthquake, I had been working here about 10 month, and so had gotten used to the entire building shaking every time a heavy freight train went by. We were near the Ford Rouge Assembly Plant, but what is more important here are the various steel plants near there. There are 7 steel plants within 8 miles, 3 near the Ford Rouge Complex, the biggest one being the former Ford steel plant. So coal trains, which are the heaviest loaded trains of all trains in the US, go by 3 times a week. So when the earthquake hit, I and everyone working there, just assumed a coal train was going by. I had to get home from work to be told there was an earthquake.
    The next times was nearly 10 years later, and I happened to be driving a car when it hit, and it did not get felt by me since cars are suspended on springs to soften any shaking from the road below.
    To sum up, Michigan gets earthquakes, but not ones that anyone reports damage from, and can be mistaken for a passing train.
    While I have worked at the post office in decades, I live next to a railroad track that has a coaltrain go by once a week - also going to the Ford Rouge Complex, just a different route. While they are the loudest trains, the ground here is stable, so there is no shaking of the building I live in. As far as noise, I-94 is just slightly more than a 1/4 miles away, so I live with constant noise. The interstate produces noise 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Except for a few months in 2020, which was just spooky. Not as spooky as when I had to go pick up a prescription during that same day and see no other cars on the road during daylight hours, 3.5 miles there, and 3.5 miles back, ina major metropolitan area where I would have seen about 4 dozen vehicles if I made that trip at 3 am. I later learned at that time, the people who remove the dead bodies from people's homes and take to morgues, funeral homes, hospitals, pathology labs, and university medical schools were all working as many hours as legally allowed (105 hours a week if working in pairs, 88 hours a week if working solo - usually work in pairs, but from nursing homes and hospitals you can go solo since there will be people there who can be counted on for help, and the same goes for morgues or pathology labs), and the business owner was working 24 hours a day for a few months. Yes, the backup was so bad that some bodies had started noticeable decomp before they were removed (that smell associated with the many days dead). Normally the owner always drives, but he let others drive and that was when he slept. He also said every hospital, morgue, and even a few of the larger nursing homes had refrigerated trailers on site. That took about a year to clear out the refrigerated units. The big bottleneck is that funeral homes are not designed to handle that many funerals at a time. This business also supplied hearses and limousines to the funeral homes, with drivers as needed. There were 22 vehicles, but only 7 drivers, counting the owner. He only owned 2 vans but rented 3 more during that time.

    Inkster. Michigan 1986, in my classroom at my desk I felt like I had vertigo. The ceiling lights were shaking and I told class who noticed lights shaking. I think we just had an earth quake. I turned on my radio and soon it was announced that it was indeed an earthquake. The teacher in next classroom said someone ran over the roof. My class and I knew it was an earthquake but none of other teachers or students realized it.
    I don't remember the year but in Concord Township I heard a loud noise and felt house sort of tremor. I thought it might be some farm farmer dropping heavy equipment but then thought again ot might be an earthquake. It was and others in area felt it too. There is a fault in Michigan and it's possible that we could significant earthquake.
    How to prevent erosion along lake shores on small lakes and not affect the environment of the lakes is what I could find information about.

    The same thing happened in Maine. On my honeymoon we traveled up the Maine coast and discovered an inland desert, The Great Maine Desert. It's not as cool as a Southwest Desert but like the Lake Michigan desert it resulted from clear cutting all the timber coupled with inshore winds and sandy soil.

    If you'd checked, Michigan State University did a program years ago to plant dune grass at Singapore Michigan and the dunes there have stabilized. As to shoreline erosion, most of the winds come out of west and of course this pushes water against the shoreline. Little can be done about that without massive retaining walls.

  • @lewisdoherty7621

    It likely didn't matter, because the town likely would have disappeared anyway. They got their money out of clearing the forests, and the sawmills and town's people may have been relocated anyway to new harvesting areas. In that age, there wasn't reforestation plans when it was cheaper just to move to another old growth forest and harvest it. Once an area had been cleared, farmers may have moved into the areas. Farming and cattle prevented the areas from becoming forests again.

    Trees along river banks actually increase erosion. That is the reason the Corps of Engineers keeps trees from growing on levees and maintains tall grasses that protect the soil when water raises. Moving water removes sand and soil if it's exposed with no grassy vegetation.

    • @ronaldviens7862
      @ronaldviens7862 7 днів тому

      As the flow undercuts the bank, the stream widens and the water's force on the bank decreases slowing erosion. A stream of water is amorphous, no matter how solid it looks to the eye. It follows different dynamics laws and cannot be compressed .
      Then the bank collapses and the shoreline is ephemerally back in place due for more erosion. Trees roots cause drag and deflect water that rocky or sandy bank materials
      do not.
