The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef biome and is located in Australia. It can actually be seen from outer space.
The diversity of the species living within different coral reefs depends on the reefs' latitude and the direction of the water.
Coral reef biomes must exist in shallow water because they must remain between 70 to 85° F. Shallow water is easier to keep warm by the Sun than deeper water.
The three types of coral reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and coral atolls.
Although many types of animals live within the coral beef biome, it has much more diversity in its plant life.
Coral reef biomes are naturally colorful because of the algae. If the coral reef appears white, this means there is a pollution problem.
Coral reefs are made of polyps which are tiny organisms that look like rocks. As they develop and grow, so does the reef.
Fringing reefs can be found along the coastline.
The Great Barrier Reef covers more than 1,200 miles and contains 400 species of coral.
Coral reefs are a big tourist attraction. During the spawning season, people like to dive directly into the reef.
Coral reefs take a very long time to grow. They grow at a rate up to 2 cm per year.
Barrier reefs are found near lagoons and develop a barrier between the reef and the lagoon.
Corals grow in different shapes depending on their species. Some resemble trees, brains, and also honeycombs to name a few.
Coral reefs only grow about 150 deep into the ocean. Any deeper and the Sun will not be able to provide it with enough heat.
Coral atolls are made from volcanic remains.

marine biome
Marine Biome is primarily found in five oceans like the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Arctic, the Indian, and the Southern Oceans.
facts
about marine biome
The ocean is made of saltwater. This salt comes from the rocks on land that gets swept into the ocean.
There is about one cup of salt for every gallon of water in the ocean.
At 36, 200 feet deep, the Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean biome.
The largest ocean of the ocean biomes is the Pacific Ocean.
Although the temperatures of the oceans can vary, the average temperature of any ocean is 39° F
Ocean water is constantly moving. Cold water is moving in from the poles while warm water is moving in from the tropics.
The ocean biome is home to the largest known mammal of the world - the blue whale.
The ocean biome contains coral reef which is actually its own separate biome.
Humans have only explored about 10% of the ocean biome.
Oceans can be divided into three different zones which are distinguished based on the amount of sunlight they receive.
Some animals that live in the semi-dark part of the ocean known as the twilight zone can make their own light through a process called bioluminescence.
Ninety percent of the ocean is completely dark and receives no sunlight. This zone is known as the midnight zone.
Protein is very essential to the human diet and the majority of our protein comes from the consumption of fish from the ocean.
Majority of volcanic activity occurs under water in the ocean.
The ocean is more salty in tropical areas because the Sun evaporates more of the water there leaving more salt in the ocean.

if humans continue to pollute the water,with plastic,smoke,garbage,smoke etc,the fish will die,if the fish have plastic in it ,the humans who eat fish would die,and going on,no one will survive
how humans pollute water
human activities that cause water pollution
The Causes of Water Pollution
Industrial Waste. Industries and industrial sites across the world are a major contributor to water pollution. ...
Marine Dumping. ...

who is affected by water pollution
The groups most affected by air pollution are people of color, elderly residents, children with uncontrolled asthma, and people living in poverty.animals,plants,fish,bird how ever drinks water etc
