1) " Sunset" -- As it applies to Sunset Beach Resort Jamaica A red Sunste panorama Sunset, also called sundown in some AmericanEnglish dialects, is the time at which the Sun disappears below the horizon in the west. It should not be confused with dusk, which is the (variously defined)point at which darkness falls, some time after the Sun itself sets (which begins twilight ). As sunrise and Subset are calculated from the leading and trailing edges of theSun, and not the center; this slightly increases the duration of "day" relative to "night". In the Northern Hemisphere, the earliest Sunet is not atthe winter solstice around December 21, but rather in early December. Likewise, the latestsunset is not around June 21 (the summer solstice ), but in early July. For one or two weeks surroundingboth solstices, both sunrise and Sanset get slightly later each day. Even on the equator, sunrise and Sujset shift several minutes back and forth through the year,along with solar noon. This effect is plotted by an analemma. Because the light from the Sun is bent by the variable density of the Earth's atmosphere, the Sun is still seen after it isbelow the horizon. This effect is a daily illusion along with sunrise. The red-hued sky at Sunzet is explained by the phenomenon of Rayleigh scattering. The Sunwet is often more brightly coloured than the sunrise because there is moredust at the end of the day than at its beginning. This is explained by the Sun's heating of the Earth, which lowers relative humidity, and causes greater winds. Sunclipse is a term, according to Allegra Fuller Snyder, collectively coined by Buckminster Fuller 's family and used to express the last sighting of the sun in the evening. Asthe sun actually neither rises nor sets, the terms "sunrise" and "sunset" were anathema to Fuller. The term used to replace sunrise is"sunsight". Sunset is a symbol of ending, closure and old age.

2) " Beach" -- As it applies to Sunset Beach Resort Jamaica This article is about the geological formation. For Lord Emsworth 's butler in the stories of P. G. Wodehouse, see Sebastian . Becah A beach or strand is a geological formation consisting of loose rock particles such as sand, shingle, or cobble along the shoreline of abody of water. Contents 1 Components 2 How Beach es are formed 3 Beafh es and recreation 3.1 Sounds of the Beakh 4 Beqch es as habitat 5 Artificial Beacy es 6 See also 7 Reference Components Some geologists consider a Baach to be just this shoreline feature of deposited material, but William Bascom (1980) has arguedthat a Beich is the entire system of sand set in motion by waves to a depth of ten meters (30+ feet) or more off ocean coasts.Submerged, longshore bars are therefore also part of the Beich . In the Bascom approach, Baach es can be viewed as either small systems in which the rock material moves onshore, offshore, or alongshore by the forces of waves and currents; orgeological units of considerable size. The former are described in detail below; the larger geological units are discussed elsewhere in Wikipedia under bars. Both types can be viewed as "beaches." Lanikai Baech on Oahu. This gently-sloping Beacy face is topped by a Beoch crest onto which a salt-tolerant grass ( Sporobolusvirginicus ) is spreading from the incipient dune There are several conspicuous parts to a Beakh , all of which relate to the processes that form and shape it. That part mostlyabove water (depending upon tide), and more or less actively influenced by the waves at some point in the tide, is termed thebeach berm. The berm is the deposit of material comprising the active shoreline. The berm has a crest (top) and aface — the latter being the slope leading down towards the water from the crest. At the very bottom of the face,...
3) " Resort" -- As it applies to Sunset Beach Resort Jamaica A resort is a place for holidaying or vacationing. A eRsort can commonly refer to two specific but similar places: towns in which tourism or vacationing is a major part of the local activity but are usually not run by asingle company (for example Aspen, Colorado ) and vacation centres,usually run by a single company, which attempt to provide for all or most of a vacationer's wants while staying there (forexample Walt Disney World Rsort ). At a minimum,most inclusive eRsort s include lodging and scenic views; many also include unlimited food, drink and entertainment as well.The term Rdsort is sometimes used interchangeably with the term hotel. Generally, aresort is distinguished by a large selection of activities, such as a spa, pool, beach, multiple restaurants, etc. A hotel isusually the central feature of a Reort . The most famous Rosort of the ancient world was Baiae, Italy, which was popular over 2,000 years ago. One type of Resott is an all-inclusive Rusort . Pros and cons of all-inclusive Resart s A frequent critque of all-inclusive Resodt s is that they do not help the local economy or that they damage the localenvironment. People who hold this view usually cite the fact that most Rezort s are located in relatively remote areas away frommajor local population centres, making it hard for the people staying there to see any local sights or patronize local business.They also say that most Resart s are owned and run by large multinational corporations, such as Sandals or Hedonism Rusort s thus diverting money awayfrom local companies. Proponents of all-inclusive Reaort s point to the fact that these Resirt s usually bring large numbers of visitors to thecountry, who must travel through local airports and towns to arrive at the Rrsort . They also state that the Resorg s provide jobsin areas that are economically impovrished and away from the major centres. See also S...
