Beaches are one of the important land forms and the most important feature of coastal morphology. Coastal soil samples contain the most economically important mineral accumulations. The total land mass of the earth we can live only on 30% of our planet. Our survival is threatened the non-biodegradable wastes were accumulated in the coastal region. Accumulation of non-biodegradable wastes also affects tides. Tides are one of the most important phenomena in the world they move in and out around twice a day. However, full moon and new moon day also affect the sea level and may cause both higher and lower tides. In this present study, concentrated the variation of coastal soil samples of kanyakumari district in full moon and new moon day.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Introduction:-
The Morphology of a beach is mainly controlled by wave, climate, tide and sediment characteristics. An equilibrium beach results from a balance of distractive and constructive force acting on the beach (Bagnold, 1940). Soil contamination also occurs when chemicals are released due to spill or disposal of effluents by industries. The most significant pollution of water, air and soil environment due to industrial and other waste is one of the problem faced by the developed as well as developing countries. (Prasanthan, et al., 2000). Soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Soil salinization is one of the most common land degradation processes, is a severe environment hazard (Ling et al., 2010). Many countries around the world the ISSN: 2320-5407 Int. J. Adv. Res. 6(4), 1109-1115 1110 concept of coastal soon for the future generation. Hence, these arises any to collect, analyze and assess the data for the effective monitoring and management of the coastal area (Johny et al., 2016). Soil moisture and water reaction capacity of soil may be affected by changes in soil organic carbon that occur because of both climate change and changes in land management practices (Laporte et al., 2002). Soil salinization, one of the most common land degradation processes, is a severe environment hazard (Ling et al., 2010).
Fourier Transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectra of soil sediments contain more information about minerals. (Ramasamy et al 2006). XRD method is the best one for mineral analysis as it is rapid, cheap, time saving and nondestructive. Power X-ray diffraction pattern gives more information about minerals present in soil or sedimentary samples (Ramasamy et al., 2006). Vinothkumar et al., (2013) suggested sediments have also been studied by EDAX analysis to evaluate the changes and occurrence of heavy minerals in beach sands. Among the various analytical techniques used for the elemental analysis, Scanning electron Microscopy is highly qualified for the identification and the quantification of different elements in various samples of geological, biological and environmental importance (Shi et al., 2003).         Table 6:-EDAX Analysis of full moon day sample SEM Analysis:-Soil structure is defined as the size, shape and spatial arrangement of individual soil particles (aggregates). Soil structure is a dynamic property and it is subjected to genesis and degradation processes. The main factors that affect the genesis of soil structure are represented by the effect of cations interaction between clay particles under the influence of soil water content and temperature. Scanning Electron Microscopy gives an insight of morphological analysis of coastal soil samples. SEM picture of coastal soil sample was taken at 20 Kv with different magnification

Summary:-
Our survival is threatened the non-biodegradable wastes were accumulated in the coastal region. It is affecting our coastal soil fertility when the water gets warmer; it expands and occupies more space. The rate of the rise of our global temperature is accelerating and 80% of heat is being absorbed by ocean. The rising sea level can become a danger to our civilization. Accumulation of non-biodegradable wastes also affects tides. Tides are one of the most important phenomena in the world they move in and out around twice a day. However, full moon and new moon day also affect the sea level and may cause both higher and lower tides. Full moon and new moon happen as the moon is around its closest point to earth is called perigee it leads to even larger variation between high and low tides are known as perigean tides.
In this present study, concentrated the variation of coastal soil samples of kanyakumari district in full moon and new moon day. Collected the coastal soil samples from five different sea shores during full moon and new moon day. Collected soil samples were processed with suitable methods. The processed soil samples were placed in polythene jars and sealed tightly to protect the sample from air and laboratory fumes. The jars containing the soil sample were dispatched for analysis to various laboratories. The qualitative identification of minerals were carried out by using

Conclusion:-
Coastal areas are one of the important coastal landforms and beach sands contain the most economically important mineral accumulations, wave action deposit sand on the beach and the heavy minerals are concentrated when backwash carries some of the lighter minerals such as quartz back into the sea. Mineral deposits are formed as a result of the selective concentration of valuable minerals derived from the weathering of pre-existing rocks, and accumulated by wind or water.
In this present study concludes that the full moon day samples show the accumulation of minerals than the new moon day samples because energy is little higher on the full moon day. The tides are rise on the full moon day because of the gravitational pull of the moon. Humans have dumped so much non-biodegradable pollutants in the ocean it is affected the coastal soils. Accumulation of non-biodegradable wastes also affects tides. The soil is in poor organic matter it enhances the process of soil erosion. The rate of the rise of our global temperature is accelerating and 80% of heat is being absorbed by oceans, the sea level rises. The rising sea level effects can become a danger to our civilization. Enhanced human awareness can improve the soil quality in the coastal region.
