What is the deep sea?
Is the lowest layer of the ocean and is home to the most hostile conditions on Earth.
There is no light, the pressure is extreme, and the temperatures are near freezing.
Humans cannot go to the deep without specialized submarines due to immense pressure and lack of breathable air

Where are coral reefs found?
grow best in warm, shallow, clear saltwater, mostly near the equator.
need sunlight to survive, so reefs are found in water less than 30 meters deep

What is one reason coral reefs are important? Explain what you mean by that reason
Biodiversity: Coral reefs support over 1 million species, including fish, turtles, sharks, and algae.
Medicine: Scientists study reef animals for medicines to treat cancer, pain, and infections.
Protection: Reefs act as natural barriers, protecting coastlines from storms and erosion.
Economy: Tourism, diving, and fishing from reefs support millions of jobs around the world.

Name one threat to coral reefs and how it is a threat?
Climate Change: Warmer oceans cause coral bleaching, where corals lose their color and health.
Pollution: Plastic, sewage, and chemicals can poison reef ecosystems.
