The Great Barrier Reef is special because it is by far the largest reef in the world. It is consisted of around 2,900 individual reefs. The size of this reef is approximately as the size of Germany. There are over 900 islands that are stretched over 2,600 km along the the reef. The Great Barrier Reef is so marking and big, that even though it is below water it can actually be seen from space. The ecological importance of this reef is enormous as it is a home for thousands of species, with approximately 10% of all fish species in the world living in it. Because of its beauty and numerous attractions, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most visited tourist destinations, and the Australian economy manages to generate between 5 and 6 billion Australian Dollars annually from it. Unfortunately, all of the human activity has been affecting this reef very negatively, and little by little part of it is dying out.

<span>Hinduism originated in South Asia and is the dominant religion there today. The Vedas, as well as classic indian customs formed modern day Hinduism. Before the rise of Hinduism, Buddhism was the most popular religion in India, especially along the Ganges and south (Tamilnad) India, so aspects of Buddhism were also incorporated into Hinduism to increase its appeal. In hindu belief, Buddha is the 7th reincarnation of Vishnu. In the years following this Buddhism was essentially exiled, and thus is a minority religion in modern India</span>

Answer:
- Shape of the continents
- Fossils of the same species found on continents that are not connected
- Evidence of ice sheets in places that are hot in the present
- Mid-ocean ridges
Explanation:
The continental drift theory is a theory that suggests that the continents are always on the move, thus they change their shape, location, collide with each other, move away from each other etc.
The shape of South America and Africa is one of the evidences. If the shapes of the continents are taken out of a map, and the eastern coast of South America and western coast of Africa are merged, they fit in perfectly.
There are numerous fossils of the same species of animals and plants that have been found all over the world, even though the continents are isolated and separated by water bodies.
In some places that are very hot in the presence, like South Africa, have evidence of ice sheets. In the current conditions that is simply not possible considering that the temperature in this part of the world goes well over 40 C degrees.
The mid-ocean ridges are very nice proof of the continental drift theory. They are one of the evidence that can be observed in the present, where new crust is constantly forming and pilling up, while pushing the old crust sideways further away from it.
