A ridge of rick in the sea formed by the growth and deposit of calcium. Home to some 4,000 species of aquatic species.
Coral Reef.
400
This fresh water ecosystem is characterized by soil that is saturated or covered by water for much of the year.
Wetland.
500
This compound comes from incomplete burning of fossil fuels, primarily from vehicle exhaust and industrial processes - you should have a detector for it in your home.
