Coral reefs are either restricted or absent from along the west coast of the Americas, as well as the west coast of Africa. This is due primarily to upwelling and strong cold coastal currents that reduce water temperatures in these areas (Nybakken, 1997). Corals are also restricted from off the coastline of South Asia from Pakistan to Bangladesh (Spalding et al., 2001). They are also restricted along the coast around north-eastern South America and Bangladesh due to the release of vast quantities of freshwater from the Amazon and Ganges Rivers respectively.

Famous coral reefs and reef areas of the world include:

Mongolia is rich in natural resources such as coal, copper, gold, fluorspar, and uranium. It also has significant deposits of iron ore, oil, and rare earth metals. The country's vast landscape also provides opportunities for renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.

Manchester and Salford touch for miles. Leeds and Bradford (i think) or it could be Preston and Blackburn (which do not touch at all)

The symbol for national capitals is usually a star enclosed in a circle. Other cities are represented by different symbols, which often represent an approximate population number. Maps almost always have a key that tell you what each symbol means.

Travelling in Australia all depends on where you want to go. Transport is excellent in Australia and most places are fairly easy to get to. There are buses, cars, trains, trams and boats to get to where ever you need to go. The ticket prices are reasonable in Australia and public transport is reasonable comfortable and easy to travel on. If you want to really experience the variations of scenery within the country, take an outback train, or the car. The most popular form of transportation in Australia is the car.
