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!

VashaNatasha [74]

P waves can travel through liquid and solids and gases, while S waves only travel through solids. Scientists use this information to help them determine the structure of Earth.

S waves have a larger amplitude than P waves and cause the ground's surface to move both vertically and horizontally, making them more dangerous. Surface waves, which move slowly, are the last to arrive. P waves leave the earthquake first and go the furthest. Rock oscillates perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation in S or shear waves. In rock, S waves typically move at a pace of roughly 60% that of P waves, and they always come after the latter. Points of solid media move back and forth perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation due to S waves, also known as shear or transverse waves. As the wave passes, the medium is sheared first in one direction and then in the opposite direction.

Which of the following cities has a climate characterized by continentality
Vesna [10]

Answer:

3) Bismarck, North Dakota

Explanation:

The city that has a climate characterized by confidentiality is Bismarck, North Dakota. This city is relatively close to the center of the US, thus it is far away from the large bodies of water. It is in the mid-latitudes, so it doesn't have too much of an influence from the Arctic or from the tropics. Bismarck has just about enough rainfall so that it is not semi-arid, though it is on the borderline. The summers tend to be dry and hot, while the winters tend to be very cold and snowy.
