As we get closer to the coral reef, there are going to be several things we notice. The first thing we notice will be the large number of coral that seem to have lost their color, turning bright white. In addition, if we are in Florida, we may see something called the stony coral tissue loss disease. This disease has been of great concern in recent years in Floridian waters. Looking at these two changes, we can see that both are from the impact of climate change. As the water warms, the stress on the coral reaches a high point and they start to bleach and become more susceptible to several diseases.

I hope I've helped! :)

The fossilized teeth of ancestors of the modern horse have grown progressively larger and flatter over the past 60 million years
ohaa [14]
Because nowadays, many horses are domesticated, and food they would have eaten in the wild, they don't usually eat anymore. They have learnt to adapt to eating other foods, like hay, that require molars to ingest. This is why over time, their tooth structure has changed.
