Coral reefs<span> are also being degraded by many other factors. The list of problems can seem endless: overfishing, fishing using cyanide and dynamite, pollution from sewage and agriculture, massive outbreaks of predatory starfish, invasive species, and sedimentation from poor land use practices</span>
Answer:
D. all of the above
Explanation:
Biome refers to a large and relatively distinct terrestrial region having similar climatic conditions regardless of where it occurs on Earth. The characteristic climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation being the most important ones) and soil type of each biome type determine the type of plant species found there. Therefore, each biome is characterized by specific flora.
For example, a desert biome is a temperate or tropical biome characterized by a lack of precipitation, seasonal variations in temperature and poor soil type with low organic matter that limits plant growth. Desert biomes have only the plant species that can survive these harsh conditions.
The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.
