Coral reefs are found in tropical oceans like Hawaii and the Caribbean where water temperatures range from 20-28oC. Plants like phytoplankton, algae, and other photosynthetic organisms provide the base of the food chain, while animals including corals, sponges, fish, sharks, and invertebrates make their homes on the reefs. Coral reef ecosystems are important as they remove carbon dioxide from the water, protect coastal lands from storms by absorbing wave energy, and support a diverse array of marine life.

Coral bleaching
Coral bleaching occurs when coral loses the algae living in its tissue, causing it to turn white. This algae, called zooxanthellae, provides food to the coral and contributes to its color. Increased water temperatures, changes in water chemistry such as acidification, bacteria, sea level rise, herbicides, cyanide fishing, low tides, and shipping accidents can all cause the zooxanthellae to be expelled from the coral, resulting in bleaching. Even small increases in water temperature of 1.5-2°C that last several weeks can trigger bleaching. Bleaching stressed the coral and makes them more vulnerable to disease.

Marine and coastal ecosystems
Marine and coastal ecosystems are diverse and complex systems. The marine ecosystem is the largest ecosystem on Earth, covering over 70% of the planet's surface. It contains a variety of habitat types, from coral reefs and kelp forests to deep sea and open ocean environments. Coastal ecosystems like mangroves, sandy shores, and estuaries exist at the interface between land and sea. These ecosystems support a high level of biodiversity but are threatened by rising sea levels and ocean acidification due to climate change. Careful management is needed to protect these important ecosystems.

Marine ecosystem
The document summarizes several marine ecosystems. It describes how oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface and include shorelines like tidal flats and mangrove forests. Specific ecosystems are found around the world, depending on climate and geography. These include coral reefs, estuaries, salt marshes, mangrove forests, and the deep sea. Salt marshes are coastal wetlands flooded by tides that are dominated by salt-tolerant grasses. The intertidal zone is the shore area above and below the water line during tides, containing habitats for starfish and coral. Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees adapted to harsh coastal conditions.
Marine Ecosystems
The document discusses different marine ecosystems including coral reefs, the open ocean, deep sea hydrothermal vents. It provides details on coral reefs such as the organisms found there like corals, anemones, and jellyfish. Corals contain algae called zooxanthellae which provide food through photosynthesis. Coral bleaching occurs when temperatures rise and zooxanthellae leave the corals. The open ocean below 1,000 meters is cold, dark, and high pressure with few scattered organisms. Hydrothermal vents are deep ocean springs where chemosynthetic bacteria use chemicals instead of sunlight to support unique ecosystems.

Egyptian women
Women played more important roles in ancient Egyptian society than in other cultures at the time. They had near gender equality and could hold positions like pharaoh. The most valued members of society were children. Several female rulers, like Hatshepsut and Cleopatra VII, ruled Egypt effectively as pharaohs. Other notable women included Nefertiti, the beautiful wife of Akhenaten, and Tausert, who ruled as pharaoh for two years after the death of her husband.
Women of ancient Egypt
Women in ancient Egypt had many basic rights similar to men, including the ability to own property, sign contracts, get divorces, and testify in court. Some notable female rulers included Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt for the longest period of any woman from 1490 to 1468 BC and restored many temples; Nefertiti, who became queen after her husband Akhenaten's death and promoted religion and culture while wielding the same powers; and Cleopatra VII, who became queen at age 18 and ruled Egypt from 51-47 BC, she was intelligent, ambitious, and spoke multiple languages.
