Where is water pollution happening in the world?
Really if you think about it on a larger scale, everywhere is affected by water pollution. Just as everywhere is affected by air pollution and land pollution. i wanted the names of a place :(
What types of erosion are affected by gravity?
Wind and water erosion are affected by gravity.
Why is climate is affected by large bodies of water?
The capacity of water to store heat energy.
How did the land and water affected people?
Land and and water affected people by giving them land to own or in other ways, homes or shelters...water in other ways gave drinking sources to humans and their animals. Plus water provided cooking abilities, hot water to boil, and to bathe.
What is affected by surface elevation water vapor and temperature?
air pressure
Why soft corals live in deeper water than hard corals?
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
When do corals eat?
I think contunuously as they filter minute food particles out of the water which constantly passes over them.
What is a star fishs predator?
I think it is anomanys or sharks not sure and/or corals not sure or maybe only water.............. NOT SURE
What type of water do corals live in?
warm water
How do corals mate?
Some corals are able to reproduce asexually. The corals that produce sexually release eggs and sperm, which meet in the water and fertilize themselves.
Can corals prefer turbid water?
yes
What is the danger that great barrier reef faces now is an affect?
Water pollution in the ocean is creating havoc for marine life. The Great Barrier Reef being made up of corals is being adversely affected for growth of corals. This will disturb the whole ecosystem around the reef in particular and in the ocean in general.
Why can certain fossils such as corals be used to indicate former water temperature?
Most corals can only live in warm, fairly shallow waters of about 40 ft. deep. Any deeper and the water would be too cold and the corals would die off.
What does a coral reef need?
Corals cannot flourish with opaque water. With this, they need clear water for them to get sunlight to do well. They also need warm temperature specially the reef-building corals.
What builds on top of dead corals shells when a corals dies?
Any kind of material in the water, whether it's sand, debris, whatever.
How do you care for a coral reef?
To ensure that you care for your Coral Reefs, You need to ensure you have the following this from the Coral.org site. I did some research of my own to answer this question properly as Coral Reefs are VERY important to the world I have found. Sunlight: Coral needs to grow in shallow water where sunlight can reach them. Corals depend on the algae that grows inside them for oxygen and other things, and since this algae needs sunligh to survive, corals also need sunlight to survive. Coral rarely develop in water deeper then 50 meters. Clear water: Corals need clear water that lets sunlight through to survive; they don't thrive well when the water is opaque. Sediment and plankton can cloud water, which decreases the amount of sunlight that reaches the zooxanthellae. Warm water temperature: Reef-building corals require warm water conditions to survive. Different corals living in different regions can withstand various temperature fluctuations. However, corals generally live in water temperatures of 68-90° F or 20-32° C. Clean water: Corals are sensitive to pollution and sediments. Sediments can settle on coral, blocking out sunlight and smothering coral polyps. Pollution from sewage and fertilizers increase nutrient levels in the water, harming corals. When there are too many nutrients in the water, the ecological balance of the coral community is altered. Saltwater: Corals need saltwater to survive and require a certain balance in the ratio of salt to water. This is why corals don't live in areas where rivers drain fresh water into the ocean.
What is the difference between hard corals and soft corals?
The difference is in the name; soft corals have a soft body, with no bony or hard parts. In contrast, hard corals have a hard endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate.
