Šibenik
Šibenik () is a historic city in Croatia, located in central Dalmatia, where the river Krka flows into the Adriatic Sea. Šibenik is a political, educational, transport, industrial and tourist center of Šibenik-Knin County, and is also the third-largest city in the Dalmatian region. As of 2011, the city has 34,302 inhabitants, while the municipality has 46,332 inhabitants. History Etymology There are multiple interpretations of how Šibenik was named. In his fifteenth century book ''De situ Illiriae et civitate Sibenici,'' Juraj Šižgorić describes the name and location of Šibenik. He attributes the name of the city to it being surrounded by a palisade made of ''šibe'' (sticks, singular being ''šiba''). Another interpretation is associated with the forest through the Latin toponym "Sibinicum", which covered a narrower microregion within Šibenik on and around the area of St. Michael's Fortress.

D8 (Croatia)
The D8 state road is the Croatian section of the Adriatic Highway, running from the Slovenian border at Pasjak via Rijeka, Senj, Zadar, Šibenik, Split (city), Split, Opuzen and Dubrovnik to the border with Montenegro at Karasovići. Most of the D8 state road remains single carriageway, though with some dual carriageway stretches. The total length of the road through Croatia is . Until recently, the road was the primary route connecting the Adriatic coastal parts of Croatia. Since the 2000s, multilane motorways have taken over most of its traffic, and yet more motorways are still being built along the coast. The motorways parallel to the road are the A7 (Croatia), A7 (Rupa, Croatia, Rupa border crossing – Rijeka – Sveti Kuzam), A6 (Croatia), A6 (Rijeka – Bosiljevo 2 interchange, Bosiljevo) and A1 (Croatia), A1 (Zagreb – Bosiljevo – Zadar – Split (city), Split – Ploče), sections of the proposed Adriatic–Ionian motorway.

Adriatic Sea
The Adriatic Sea () is a body of water separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan Peninsula. The Adriatic is the northernmost arm of the Mediterranean Sea, extending from the Strait of Otranto (where it connects to the Ionian Sea) to the northwest and the Po Valley. The countries with coasts on the Adriatic are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, and Slovenia. The Adriatic contains more than 1,300 islands, mostly located along the Croatian part of its eastern coast. It is divided into three basins, the northern being the shallowest and the southern being the deepest, with a maximum depth of . The Otranto Sill, an underwater ridge, is located at the border between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. The prevailing currents flow counterclockwise from the Strait of Otranto, along the eastern coast and back to the strait along the western (Italian) coast. Tidal movements in the Adriatic are slight, although larger amplitudes are known to occur occasi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Morinje
Morinje (''Morinjski zaljev'', Italian: ''Morigne, Lago di Castello Andreis'') is the toponym for a bay in Croatia. The Morinje Bay in Dalmatia, with a surface area of 3.5 km² and a maximum depth of 21 metres, is situated five kilometres south-east of Šibenik in the central part of the eastern Adriatic coast. It is hydrogeomorphologically divided into two parts – a shallow northern funnel (Morinje) and the deeper southern channel-shaped Jadrtovac passage. With the postglacial rising of the sea level, the bay took its current shape. Morinje has no permanent riverine inflow, only an insignificant and intermittent superficial rivulet (Ribnik) and several underwater springs. In the 13th century, the area at Morinje was mentioned as ''Campus marinus''. A German nobleman in the late 15th century called the place “Moreya”. The historical settlement Jadrtovac developed from a fortification on the eastern shore. North-east of the bay is the Gothic church of Saint Lawrence Sain ...

Beach Rezalište
A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles. The particles composing a beach are typically made from rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, etc., or biological sources, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae. Sediments settle in different densities and structures, depending on the local wave action and weather, creating different textures, colors and gradients or layers of material. Though some beaches form on inland freshwater locations such as lakes and rivers, most beaches are in coastal areas where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments. Erosion and changing of beach geologies happens through natural processes, like wave action and extreme weather events. Where wind conditions are correct, beaches can be backed by coastal dunes which offer protection and regeneration for the beach. However, these natural forces have become more extreme due to climate change, permanently altering beaches at very rapid ...
