Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem because they support sea life, such as crabs and sea turtles. in fact, over four thousand species depend on the survival of the reefs, which are being destroyed by bleaching. more must be done immediately to save the reefs.
development along the coastal regions has significant negative effects on coral reefs. the reefs are an essential part of the ocean’s ecosystem, and when people build structures on top of them, they are easily damaged because they are so fragile.

For the same insolation, order these regions from highest absorption to lowest
abruzzese [7]

1. The Sahara Desert

2. Grassy plains of Kansas

3. Lake Michigan

4. An Arctic glacier

Explanation:

The insolation is not the same across the planet, and it varies from one place to another. The variations occur mainly because of two things, one being the latitude and the other being the the type of surface.

The places that are on lower latitudes get more direct sunlight, thus more concentrated, and they manage to absorb more heat. The places on higher latitudes get sunlight at very low angle, thus very dispersed, and they absorb much less heat.

The surfaces that are without cover, on land, tend to have higher insolation. The surfaces that are with cover, or are water bodies, ice bodies, have lower insolation.
