According to Understanding Humans: Introduction to Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, the Pleistocene, or the Ice Age, was a period 1.8 mya- 10,000 ya marked by drastic fluctuations of climate change across Earth. The Pleistocene alternated between extreme periods of glaciations and interglacials. During glaciations, temperatures dropped drastically. In northern continents this drop in temperature led to mass accumulations of ice, measuring

Furthermore, the unique aspect of the park is that a good portion of the historical offerings are underwater. Shipwrecks are a constant source of curiosity and will be discussed in detail later in the essay. Fort Jefferson, located on Garden Key is Dry Tortugas most significant cultural and historical resource.

joints and boasts the greatest ROM (range of motion) of any joint in the body. An appendicular joint is a joint that is part of the appendicular skeleton which includes the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, and limb bones. The appendicular joints typically have a larger range of motion, but due to this are often weaker than those found in the axial skeleton. The glenohumeral joint is responsible for articulating movement of the upper arm by way of pivoting the humerus at the point that it meets with

this polyp is surrounded by tentacle-like structures. These tentacles, are used as organs and are used to capture, poison and trap prey. According to NASA earth observatory, polyps build interconnected tubes for protection against predators. The skeletons of polyps are formed from calcium carbonate ions in the seawater. Each time new polyps are created they begin building their new shells on top of the empty encasements of previous polyps. After several years, these reefs begin to expand. B. Zooxanthellae

It is also in the logos of sports teams such as

Global climate change is one of the greatest threats to the long run future of coral reefs. In combination with other natural and human-induced pressures, warming seas pose a serious risk to the world's coral reef ecosystems. Summer sea temperature increases of just 2-3°C for a week or two, or 1-2°C for a month or two, are enough to kill sensitive corals. Australia's tropical marine ecosystems are already reflecting the consequences of global warming with a 0.4°C rise in the tropical ocean temperatures
