What are the 2 types of rainforests?
There are two types of rainforests, tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are found closer to the equator where it is warm. Temperate rainforests are found near the cooler coastal areas further north or south of the equator. The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long.
Coral Reefs
What are coral reefs?
A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals. Reefs are formed of colonies of coral polyps held together by calcium carbonate. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, whose polyps cluster in groups.
Why is Coral Reef important?
Coral reefs protect coastlines from storms and erosion, provide jobs for local communities, and offer opportunities for recreation. They are also are a source of food and new medicines. Over half a billion people depend on reefs for food, income, and protection.
What is a coral reef made of?
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.
What are 2 types of coral reefs?
The three main types of coral reefs are fringing, barrier, and atoll. Schools of colorful pennant fish, pyramid, and millet seed butterflyfish live on an atoll reef in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The most common type of reef is the fringing reef. This type of reef grows seaward directly from the shore.
Mangrove Swamps
What are Mangrove Swamps?
Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands found in tropical and subtropical regions. They are characterized by halophytic (salt-loving) trees, shrubs, and other plants growing in brackish to saline tidal waters. ... Black Mangrove (Avicennia germans) is the most common mangrove in the United States outside of the everglades.
What are mangroves give two examples?
Mangrove flora along the Atlantic coast of tropical America and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to Florida consists chiefly of the common, or red, mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) of the family Rhizophoraceae and the black mangroves (usually Avicennia nitda, sometimes A. marina) of the family Acanthaceae.
What are the 3 types of mangroves?
Three species of tropical wetland trees that grow along the shoreline of many estuaries in central and southern Florida are classified as mangroves. The three species are native to Florida: red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), Black mangrove (Avicennia germans), and White mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa). (P.S: You can Choose in there:)

7-8. In your own little way, how can you prevent flooding in your locality?
(Actually.. you're the one who answer this but.. I'm gonna give some of it so you can answer it. Thanks)
Defenses such as levees, bunds, reservoirs, and weirs are used to prevent rivers from bursting their banks. When these defenses fail, emergency measures such as sandbags or portable inflatable tubes are used. ... A dike is another method of flood protection.
How can we reduce the possibility of flooding?
10 measures to prevent (urban) flooding
Create a 'sponge city'
Green roofs/rooftop gardens.
Create flood plains and overflow areas for rivers.
Separating rainwater from the sewer system.
Install water infiltration and attenuation systems.
Keep the sewer system clean, so it can do its job.
Sustainable drainage: permeable pavement, sidewalks, and gardens.
Hope for the best, but plan or the worst
Improve flood warning mechanisms
Take action!
9-10.Why is it important to protect the different biomes (tropical rainforest, coral reefs, and mangrove swamps)?
Coastal protection: The dense root systems of mangrove forests trap sediments flowing down rivers and off the land. This helps stabilizes the coastline and prevents erosion from waves and storms. ... By filtering out sediments, the forests also protect coral reefs and seagrass meadows from being smothered in sediment.
