There's actually an entire documentary made about this certain fish, its name is Parrot Fish.

The reason for its name is because it has a beak, which it uses to bite and eat through coral.

And at the end of the day, when the fishes poop, it turns into sand.

For example, one 2010 study in Marine Biology found that large parrotfish in Hawaii can churn out 840 pounds of eroded coral—i.e. white sand—per year. A single giant humphead parrotfish can produce 11,000 pounds of sand per year.

hope this helps!

⦁ What is subduction, and which type of rock subducts?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:Espero te sirva

Explanation:La subducción es el proceso de hundimiento de una placa litosférica bajo el borde de otra placa, formándose los llamados límites convergentes entre placas. La placa subducida, la que se hunde, suele estar formada por corteza oceánica, más delgada y densa que la continental. La subducción ocurre a lo largo de amplias zonas de subducción que en el presente se concentran especialmente en el entorno del océano Pacífico, en el llamado cinturón de fuego del Pacífico, pero también hay zonas de subducción en partes del mar Mediterráneo, las Antillas, las Antillas del Sur y la costa índica de Indonesia.
