It will have no affect on humans, but large amounts of wildlife will die and the world would be losing one of the most beautiful natural wonders ever.
the habittat of the fish will be gone. and the hose of fish will be gone. because the coral reefs is the habittat of the fish
C. The effects of coral reef destruction are: 1. Coral reefs protect the land from storm and tidal surges, so when they are all destroyed frequent costal flooding occurs 2. Coral reefs are probable sources of medicines to cure the diseases that currently run rampant across the earth. Chemicals found in reefs have been used to treat ulcers, heart disease, leukemia and more. 3. Coral reefs absorb carbon dioxide and use it to form their shells if they are no more coral reefs then there would be more carbon dioxide in the ocean and our atmosphere.
the food chain would be totally messed up other animals would be eating different animals making predation worse and causing the popluation to decrease
dolphins have gone through lots of hard things like shark atacks, scratches on sharp coral and of coarse sometimes being hunted by people. Global Warming is also efecting the dolphins.
The greatest cause of coral death is the sustained increase in temperature that reefs are currently undergoing. (check - GREAT BARRIER REEFS AUSTRALIA) This is similar to the almost total elimination of the great kelp forests which are now almost totally gone after just 10 years of water temperature increase. Please be wary as oil industry types et al may be dissuading the young and inquiring from looking at the truth of our situation - the reefs are the most dramatic and horrific of all environmental/carbon/greenhouse effect concerns. --- Yes, they are in danger, and it is due to us, humans. The causes are many, a simple list of a few of them are: 1. cyanide fishing...cyanide kills the polyps in the reef 2. fishing by the use of bombs (people really do it) 3. pollution... gradual posion for every living thing on earth. --- Yes the coral reef is in danger: Pollution, Over exploitation and Recreation The species that are the reef's foundation have very specific needs for light, temperature, salinity, and oxygen. They are easily damaged or killed because of these complex requirements for survival. Human-caused deterioration lessens the reef's ability to withstand natural events such as hurricanes, cyclones, and other storms. reef are sensitive to unusually warm waters caused by El Nino, a phenomenon thought to be connected to global warming. Large areas of reef died in Costa Rica, Panama, and the Galapagos during the El Nino event of 1984. Population and development pressures have contributed significantly to loss of coral reefs and other coastal habitats, such as salt marshes, mangrove forests, and sea-grass beds, and the fisheries that depend on these. Reefs are smothered by erosion from deforestation and dredging of rivers and bays. They also are blown up by fishers using dynamite, poisoned by collectors working for the aquarium trade, and inadvertently damaged by re creationists (boaters and scuba divers). An estimated 80 percent of Philippine reefs, for example, have been damaged by sedimentation, explosives, and pollution. Recently, scientists have become alarmed by increased occurrences of "coral bleaching." Coral gets its beautiful colors from algae that lives symbiotically with it. Through photosynthesis, the algae produce oxygen and sugars for the coral polyps to eat. The coral, in turn, produces carbon dioxide and nitrogen which enhances algae growth. If coral polyps are stressed by environmental changes, they lose their algae coating and turn white. Cyanide and other toxins are used to stun reef fish so they can be captured alive to be sent to fish markets in Hong Kong and as aquarium specimens for buyers in the United States. The accumulation of poisons is killing the reefs In the past, the corals themselves were mostly sold as dried specimens for jewelry and decorations. Improvements in the ability to keep corals alive, however, has spurred a worldwide demand for live corals for aquariums. Reef recreation, such as glass-bottom boat tours, snorkeling, and scuba diving, is increasingly popular. Damage from anchors and accidental boat groundings is a severe problem in some popular spots. Divers stand on reefs or inadvertently hit them with fins or dangling equipment, breaking off pieces of the fragile coral.
If the ozone is gone, UV will enter. This will cause an extinction of life on earth.
Joe Knows Reefs is the best I've gone through. They were sent quickly, and very high quailty. joeknowsreefs.com
Sea coral can be many colors, but decorative coral is often red and so most people refering to "coral" are referring to that shade of red. Mix a smidge of blue (extremely little) into red to make coral red. It would be easy to use too much blue so try just a dot. If you've gone into purple, violet, or even violet red you've gone too far into blue. Mixing some violet into red would be a safer bet.
The hormones will be gone within days, and their effect on your body will be gone within one cycle. There's nothing special that needs to be done within that month to speed it up.
No problem. Without mass, gravity has no effect anyway.
Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect. Its seas have now boiled dry!
No, the calcium the earth has is all it will have. It is not renewable. Most of the calcium available is in fossil form (e.g. ancient coral reefs, deposits of seashells, organic ooze) that will take millions of years to be replaced (like coal, petroleum, and natural gas). However it is easy to use calcium from bones and seashells harvested today.
