Reference excerpt

Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park lies in the Ao Nang, Sai Thai, and Pak Nam Sub-districts of Amphoe Mueang Krabi, Krabi Province, Thailand. It is a marine national park. Established in 1983, it is an IUCN Category II protected area with coral reefs, and an area measuring 242,437 rai ~ 388 square kilometres (150 sq mi).

Environment

Climate The park is influenced by tropical monsoon winds resulting in two seasons: the first is a rainy season from May–December and a hot season from January–April. Average temperature ranges from 17-37 degrees Celsius. Average rainfall per year is about 2,231 millimeters, highest in July and lowest in February.

Wildlife The park has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of pale-capped pigeons and Christmas Island frigatebirds.

Fossil Shell Beach Susan Hoi Chet-sib Ha Lan Pee "The 75-Million-Year-Old Shell Cemetery" is located at Ban Laem Pho, which is part of the national park area. The fossil site stretches along the seashore for about 2 kilometers from west to east. The formation consists of layers of limestone slabs with a thickness ranging from 0.5 to 1 meter. Each limestone slab contains a large number of fossilized gastropods, mainly freshwater snails of the genus Viviparus, dating back to the Tertiary period more than 70 million years ago. These shells accumulated in enormous quantities and were later cemented together by calcium carbonate, forming solid rock layers. The slabs are stacked on top of one another in successive layers, resembling a broad concrete pavement. The fossil shells are clearly visible on both the upper surfaces and the sides of the limestone slabs. The limestone layers slope gently from the shoreline toward the land at an angle of about 10 degrees, creating a wide exposed rocky platform. As a result, the coastline here appears as a rocky terrace beach rather than a sandy beach. This site is considered one of the very few shell fossil cemeteries of its kind in the world.

Visitors From October 2015 to May 2016, 1.168 million tourists visited Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi Marine National Park. Seventy-seven percent, or 900,466, were foreigners. Resulting revenues were 361.91 million baht, according to the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park

In research: Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1983 establishments in Thailand, Geography of Krabi province, IUCN Category II, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
