Answer:
Human impact on coral reefs is significant. ... Damaging activities include coral mining, pollution (organic and non-organic), overfishing, blast fishing, the digging of canals and access into islands and bays. Other dangers include disease, destructive fishing practices and warming oceans.Factors that affect coral reefs include the ocean's role as a carbon dioxide sink, atmospheric changes, ultraviolet light, ocean acidification, viruses, impacts of dust storms carrying agents to far-flung reefs, pollutants, algal blooms and others. Reefs are threatened well beyond coastal areas. Climate change, such as warming temperatures, causes coral bleaching, which if severe kills the coral.
In 2008, a worldwide study estimated that 19% of the existing area of coral reefs has already been lost, and that a further 17% is likely to be lost over the subsequent 10–20 years.[3] Only 46% of the world's reefs could be currently regarded as in good health [3] and about 60% of the world's reefs may be at risk due to destructive, human-related activities. The threat to the health of reefs is particularly strong in Southeast Asia, where 80% of reefs are endangered. By the 2030s, 90% of reefs are expected to be at risk from both human activities and climate change; by 2050, it is predicted that all coral reefs will be in danger.
I am pretty sure the answer is Uracil :))
The wind is just strong enough to move the sand grains which were sorted by size by the wind. Heavier grains were left in place where as smaller grains were carried away. These grains kept moving till they were concentrated in one place usually up a hill. The grains climb the flat slope on the windward side and then fall off the steep side. The dunes may migrate slowly as this process continues, the grains at the upwind side climb the dune with the help of the wind and then fall down the downwind side.<span>

Explanation:
In an ocean ecosystem, many types of fish and turtles are herbivores that eat algae and seagrass. Sea urchins are powerful primary consumers in kelp forests.
