Coralline and calcareous algae build-ups are very essential for the development of coral reefs. In addition, when these coralline and calcareous algae tends to "stick" on landforms below the ocean surface, and as these life forms grows and continuously expands, they now form what we call "reefs."
The distance of Earth from the Sun is 94.5 million miles.
A light year is 6 trillion miles so it would be less.*
Last one - Biodiversity is the diversity of species in an area, which makes an ecosystem better prepared for major changes
Explanation:
If one crop struggles to grow then there will be plenty of others to substitute it. If a prey animal is dying at a faster rate and harder to find, predators can have other prey options and so forth. Biodiversity makes it so ecosystems can get past change.
