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!

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Sudans many years of civil war have resulted from conflicts between "Muslim Arabs, and Christian and animist Africans. "

Explanation:

Religion is the essential effect in Sudan’s civil war. The North, with most of Sudan's land and inhabitants, is Muslim and Arabic-speaking, and their religion and language are both important for their individuality. On the other hand, the South´s individuality is indigenously African, with Christian and Western influences. Sudan's first civil war was fought between the Arab-led Khartoum government in the north and rebels in the largely Christian and animist south. Southern rebels were fighting for regional autonomy and representation in the government. A peace agreement was signed in 1972 that granted semi-autonomy to the south.
