A coral reef is made of thin layers of calcium carbonate. Coral polyps form a living mat over a calcium carbonate skeleton. Stony corals (or scleractinians) are the corals primarily responsible for laying the foundations of, and building up, reef structures.
The frequency increases.
Here's an easy way to think about this. The wavelength is the distance from crest to crest, or trough to trough -- equivalently, it's the distance the wave travels in one period. This means that the speed of the wave is the wavelength divided by the period, or <span><span>v=<span>λT</span></span><span>v=<span>λT</span></span></span> . But the frequency is just the reciprocal of the period, so <span><span>v=λf</span><span>v=λf</span></span>. Clearly, if v increases and the frequency stays the same, the wavelength must increase by an equivalent factor.

Slurry is a liquid concrete or cement
Impoundments are enclosures of water
The portion of a muzzle-loader rifle that fits against your shoulder is the - BUTT.
A muzzle-loader is a firearm in which the projectile and usually the propellant charge is loaded from the muzzle of the gun. This is distinct from the more popular modern designs of breech-loading firearms. That portion of a muzzle-loader rifle that fits against ones shoulder is called the butt.
The first organisms to grow in new or disturb areas is called pioneer species.
