Great Barrier Reef

The floor of the Great Barrier Reef is characterized by a diverse and complex landscape that includes coral reefs, sandy patches, seagrass beds, and rocky substrates. It varies in depth and topography, creating habitats for a wide array of marine life. The reef structure itself is primarily made up of limestone, formed by the accumulation of coral polyps over thousands of years, which provides shelter and breeding grounds for numerous species. Overall, the floor is a vibrant ecosystem that supports rich biodiversity and plays a crucial role in marine health.

No. The Great Barrier Reef is located offshore, parallel to the Queensland coast, in the Coral Sea. Crocodiles do not live in the sea. However, crocodiles have been observed within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park area, although it is not considered to be their usual habitat. They have been observed basking on some of the coral islands and coral cays in the far north, but there are no crocodile breeding grounds on the reef.

Quite simply, head north along the Pacific Highway, or M1, for about 1600 km.

You can also get there by going inland to Moree, and heading up through Taroom and Eidsvold until you reach Rockhampton.

The turtle has a shell for defense. The tiger shark has multiple lairs of teeth for eating...well...anything. The anemone fish can live if they go into the anemone- even though it has stinging tentacles. This is handy because when predators come to eat the anemone fish, (their prey) they can go into the anemone and the predator will get stung if it tries to eat the anemone fish. Also, the anemone fish lays its eggs buy the anemone for protection.

No. The Great Barrier Reef is a protected marine park.

Schweppes ginger ale is a non-alcoholic mixer that is commonly used in alcoholic drinks. It is carbonated, flavored water. This drink has the same amount of alcohol in it as Coca-Cola does.

The coral one? It's A and then it's household trash

The Great Barrier Reef, like any natural habitat, faces numerous threats, largely as a result of human impact. Although it does not have an official listing of endangered, it is shrinking, and it is unknown by how much, or whether this is permanent. Climate scientists who subscribe to the theory of anthropogenic global warming (i.e. caused by man's activities) predict that the Great Barrier Reef may lose up to 95% of its coral by the middle of the current century. Although the coastline parallel to the Great Barrier Reef has been settled by Europeans for less than 200 years, these scientists believe that the Reef has been shrinking by 20% every 100 years.

Climate scientists who subscribe to the theory that global warming is cyclical perhaps have a less drastic view, as they believe that the coral will regenerate, as it has apparently done so in the past. There is evidence that the coral goes down much deeper than first thought, and this is an important factor in its regeneration. It is a very emotive topic.

Pollution and chemical runoff pose a very real threat to the reef. The water quality of the reef is affected by sediment and nutrients, and 80% of this is caused by cattle grazing on the land adjacent to the reef. Mud and chemical runoff tend to limit the sunlight that reaches the coral, causing it to die off, and they increase the macro-algae, which is a weed.

Tourism is a threat to the reef, as tourist boats damage the delicate framework of the reef; fishing and pollution left behind by visitors also is a threat.

A natural threat to the Great Barrier Reef is the Crown of Thorns starfish. Outbreaks of this starfish are a constant threat to the animals of the Great Barrier Reef, though in small numbers it poses no threat.

There are about 40 species which live in and around the Great Barrier Reef which are listed as endangered, mostly due to human impact.

The ship guy drove it into there. Its a really big reef and well mapped, but he wanted to take a shortcut so he went around it (well tried to) but ended up going OVER/INTO it

It is radiated from electromagnetic waves.

Field enclosure is a general name for the barrier enclosing a field. The Field enclosure could be a hedge of hawthorn, a wall, a fence of poles and sheep netting, etc.

You should definitely visit the great barrier reef. Good cities to visit are Cairns, Port Douglas, and Townsville. The Red Center is the heart of Australia it is a fair distance from the coast but is worth the trip .And of course you will want to visit Sydny.

The animals in the great Barrier reef were part of their DREAM TIME!

Sea snakes and sea turtles.

Some Ginger ales contain vanilla extract. Vanilla extract contains alcohol.
