Global warming is causing coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. Coral bleaching occurs when rising water temperatures stress the symbiotic relationship between coral polyps and algae called zooxanthellae. The zooxanthellae provide the coral's vibrant colors through photosynthesis but leave or die when waters warm, causing the coral to turn white. Loss of zooxanthellae and their photosynthesis also causes the coral polyps to die. Rising global temperatures predicted to bleach 82% of the reef at 1 degree and cause total devastation at a 3 degree increase. Individual actions like reducing power and transport pollution can help prevent further warming.

Coral bleaching occurs when coral polyps expel algae that live inside their tissues. Normally, coral polyps live in an endosymbiotic relationship with these algae, which are crucial for the health of the coral and the reef. The algae provides up to 90 percent of the coral's energy.
hen water is too warm, corals will expel the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white. This is called coral bleaching. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead. Corals can survive a bleaching event, but they are under more stress and are subject to mortality.
Introduction The whale shark ,Rhincodon typus are large slow moving filter – feeders that are the largest known living fish in the ocean .
The whale shark has a very widespread distribution and occurs throughout the worlds tropical and warm temperate seas.
The largest confirmed Individual had a length of 18.8 m.
This presentation is on Endangerd species of marine mammals and marine birds. Explain about bioligy,habitat,reproduction,threats and conservations of the animals.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

WHAT IMPACT IS GLOBAL WARMING HAVING ON THE GREAT BARRIER REEF?
1. WHAT IMPACT IS GLOBAL WARMING HAVING ON THE GREAT BARRIER REEF?
2. “ Hi there and welcome to the Great Barrier Reef! My name is fins!! It’s an amazing day today, perfect for our adventure, the sun is shining and the water is a beautiful 25 degrees. The adventure we are going on today is to find out what affects Global Warming is having on my friends and I at the Great Barrier Reef, and how we can prevent it!!” http://www.disegnigratis.biz/Clipart_Disney/Alla%20ricerca%20di%20Nemo/nemo_4.jpg

4. One of the main threats Global Warming brings to our Great Barrier reef is Coral Bleaching. To understand how dangerous coral bleaching is, we need to know how and why it occurs. To do this we need to look deep into the coral and find out how it is created and what makes it so colourful. http://k53.pbase.com/u21/eldarrio/large/35175164.vidadelmar030a.jpg
5. Coral is a limestone formation formed in the sea by millions of tiny animals called Polyps. Most coral Polyps live together in colonies. They attach themselves to each other with a flat sheet of tissue called the Coenosarc that connects to the middle of another Polyp body. Half of the coral Polyp extends above and the remaining half is below the connective sheet.
7. Coral Polyps remove calcium out of the sea water to build their limestone skeletons. They then deposit calcium carbonate (limestone) around their lower body halves. When the animals die, they leave limestone "skeletons" that become the foundations of barriers and ridges called coral reefs. As new Polyps grow, their mass makes the limestone formation larger and larger.
8. Coral is given its vibrant colour by the animal Zooxanthellae which lives within it. When the water which the coral lives in becomes warmer, the Zooxanthellae leaves the confines of the coral or can even die, causing the coral to lose its beautiful colour and this is what's known as coral bleaching. Zooxanthellae http:// www.kk.org/thetechnium/solar_sea_slug.jpg
9. When the water temperature rises it encourages the growth of harmful algae on top of the coral, which kills it, by blocking out the sun. Without the sun, the Zooxanthellae cannot perform Photosynthesis and so they die. Without the Zooxanthellae, the coral Polyps also die. This is how coral bleaching occurs. This algae is usually eaten by fish, however due to over fishing, there aren't enough fish left to eat all the algae. The pollution we dump in the ocean is what the harmful algae uses to grow, which means that the algae begins to cover the coral and this will eventually kill the reef.
