Once the ever-present sand ground down a person's teeth, infection and pain set in. Thus, dental disease became a common medical problem on ancient Egypt.
Some common barriers with videoconferencing include technical issues such as poor internet connection or software glitches, lack of familiarity or comfort with the technology leading to user error, and distractions at home or in the remote location that can disrupt the meeting. Additionally, language barriers, time zone differences, and cultural misunderstandings can also impact effective communication during videoconferences.
Gleaming corals sway in ocean depths, Radiant colors dance where sailors set, Eternal beauty in the marine maze, A vibrant ecosystem worthy of praise, Treasures abound in this underwater craze.
The common name for the Great Barrier Reef is simply "Great Barrier Reef." It is one of the most famous and largest coral reef systems in the world, located off the coast of Queensland, Australia.
Spanning over 2,300 kilometers along the Queensland coast, It is the largest living structure on Earth, visible even from outer space!
It's a sanctuary of biodiversity, with over 1,500 species of fish, 411 types of hard coral, and countless other marine treasures waiting to be explored!

Perhaps the greatest risk is panic. When people panic, they tend to hold their breath and, when they ascend, the air in their lungs expands and can rupture a lung (or other similar medical conditions). It's easy to avoid though -- just breath normally. Staying down too long is also a problem. When you certify as a SCUBA diver, you'll be taught all about that. Another problem are big waves. The solution? Dont Dive When The Waves Are Big (like I had to say that! LOL ). Other dangers include hypothermia -- getting too cold, and exhaustion. The remedy for those is to get back on the beach or boat before they happen. I wouldn't worry about creatures eating me. You're more likely to get hit by lightning. If you NEED to worry about creatures, in California, far more people step on Sea Urchins than get attacked -- so watch where you step.
Diving is based on being calm and relaxed. If you can do that, the risks are very few.
but, the TRUE risk of SCUBA diving is that you will fall so in love with it that you will think of nothing else and feel empty inside until the next time you DO get to go SCUBA diving again
The Atlantic Ocean.
No. The Great Barrier Reef is not a single atoll, but atolls do form part of it. The Great Barrier Reef is a series of atolls, islands and reefs extending for a length of approximately 2300km.
Yes divers and swimmers have lost their lives in the great barrier reef.
Overfishing is "catching too many fish". Because of this, it affects the Great Barrier Reef and other oceans because people fish so much that the fish cant sustain their population. Therefore the fish get fewer and fewer and that means no more fish in The reef.
The closest airport to the most accessible part of the Great Barrier Reef is Cairns Airport.
It is the largest coral reef in the world and houses an enomous amount of sea life.
The environmental importance of the Reef coms from the fact that the health of the Reef points to the health of the ocean, and the creeks and rivers that feed into it, as well as signifying the general effects of pollution. It is of considerable concern that numbers of unique species such as dugong and loggerhead turtles have declined significantly since the 1960s, largely due to human intervention. The Reef shelters many endangered species
The Southern Cassowary is the keystone species of Australia.
Cassowaries are considered a keystone species because they play an important role in the ecology of the rainforest and bushland areas where they live, as they are vital in dispersing seeds in their native forests.
They are frugivores which feed on the fruit of up to 238 different species of plants. Because they are able to eat larger fruits, they can therefore can disperse large rainforest fruits after the seeds have passed through their digestive system, which is gentle enough to allow the seeds to remain viable. The cassowary has a wide range, so is also the only long distance means for dispersing large seeded fruits. The seeds are excreted into a pile of the cassowary's own dung, meaning the seeds have their own ready-made pile of fertiliser. The smell of the dung even helps to deter seed-eating predators such as the white-tailed rat. Of the hundreds of fruit-bearing species on which the cassowary feeds, between 70 and 100 of them appear to rely completely on the cassowary for dispersal.
Advantages - nice
Disadvantages - tourism kills animals and the reef
A starfish called Crown of Thorns starfish.
The Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Acanthaster planci, commonly known as the crown-of-thorns starfish, is a large multi-armed starfish (or seastar) that usually preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). It is a coral reef predator which preys on coral polyps by climbing onto them, extruding its stomach over them, and releasing digestive enzymes to absorb the liquified tissue. An individual adult of this species can eat up to six square metres of living reef in a single year.

The Great Barrier Reef is far bigger than the Grand Canyon. It extends for around 2300 km in length, covers an area of about 300 000 sq km, while the coral reefs (not the ones with living polyps) reaches down to a depth of up to 500m.
The Grand Canyom, by comparison, is around 446 km long and up to 29 km wide, giving it an area of around 12 934 sq km. It is deeper, however, reaching a depth of up to 1.6 km.
The Great Barrier Reef is on the east coast of Australia, within the Coral Sea, which is one of the arms of the Pacific Ocean.
No. The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef begins just northeast of Bundaberg, Queensland, and it is a distance of 1 294 km, or 804 miles from Sydney. The Great Barrier Reef then continues for another 2,300 km up the Queensland coast.
The ideal time to go to the Great Barrier Reef is from late Autumn to late Spring, which is from May to August. During these months, there is less chance of being stung by any of the many marine stingers found in the Great Barrier Reef. The weather is also better, as the days remain warm, but there is not the uncomfortable humidity of summer.
The most common whale species that frequent the waters of the Great Barrier Reef are:
