Answer:

Urban sprawl is the progression of urbanized areas on the outskirts of cities faster than population growth. The main attractions of sub-urban areas compared to city centers are for those who reside there: advantageous cost of land and real estate, the possibility of living in a detached house and a living environment closer to natural environments. It is the improvement of transport conditions and in particular access to the automobile that has enabled this residential urban sprawl. The ease of getting to the city center ever faster and farther and farther thanks to improvements in transport services allows the continuous enlargement of agglomerations.  

This type of housing requires for each resident a greater use of transport, in particular of the automobile, than in the city center. On the other hand, individual housing, which corresponds to the aspirations of many households in sub-urban areas, proportionately emits much more greenhouse gases than collective housing in urban centers.

Urban sprawl thus has serious consequences on the environment and global warming, particularly on local ecosystems.

Answer:Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Coral polyps, the animals primarily responsible for building reefs, can take many forms: large reef building colonies, graceful flowing fans, and even small, solitary organisms. Thousands of species of corals have been discovered; some live in warm, shallow, tropical seas and others in the cold, dark depths of the ocean.

Because of the diversity of life found in the habitats created by corals, reefs are often called the "rainforests of the sea." About 25% of the ocean's fish depend on healthy coral reefs. Fishes and other organisms shelter, find food, reproduce, and rear their young in the many nooks and crannies formed by corals. The Northwest Hawaiian Island coral reefs, which are part of the Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Monument, provide an example of the diversity of life associated with shallow-water reef ecosystems.
