Answer;

-Crust and the upper most mantle

Explanation;

-The inside of the Earth is made up of three main layers, which are the crust, mantle and core. Compared to the mantle, the crust is very thin and brittle. The mantle is located below the crust and above the core of the Earth. The mantle layer of rock is approximately 2,900 kilometers thick.

-A tectonic plate (also called a lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock which move as cohesive, rigid bodies on the earth's surface. Tectonic plates have a large range of sizes and thicknesses.

-Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

Corals obtain energy from tiny photosynthetic algae, called zooxanthellae, which live inside the coral's tissue. How do you thin
Step2247 [10]

Photosynthesis is a process that uses the soliare to produce chemical energy (glucose). This means that the algae living in the water require a supply of solar light, and for that it would be necessary that the water is clear so that the solar rays can pass and reach the algae.

In the case where these corals and algae live in a cloudy or muddy water, the sun's rays do not pass very well, and therefore the photosynthesis of these algae is altered.
