How are coral reefs beneficial to humans?Coral Reefs:Coral reefs make up about one-tenth of one percent of the land area covered by oceans on the Earth. Although this is a very small area, it provides support in the form of food and shelter for as many as one in every four marine ...

Coral reefs are made predominantly of stony corals and supported by the limestone skeleton they excrete. Theserainforestsof the sea are home to a quarter of all marine fish species [source: Nature Conservancy]. In addition to the variety of marine life they support, coral reefs are also immense...
There is a significant amount of ice covering Greenland, which would add another 7 meters (20 feet) to the oceans if it melted. Because Greenland is closer to the equator than Antarctica, the temperatures there are higher, so the ice is more likely to melt. Scientists from the Universities...
They also argue that the economic damage caused by cutting down on the emission of greenhouse gases will be far more damaging to humans than any of the effects of global warming. In a way, the scientific consensus may be a moot point. The real power to enact significant change rests in ...
On the bright side, in all the research being done on causes, we have discovered something related to how starfish populations might affect coral reef diversity. We think that when reefs are damaged, after a few years, the fastest-growing corals repopulate the areas. And these fast-growing ...
