Use a putty knife or painterâs 5-in-1 tool for the edges and corners. A painted, textured ceiling will need at least two passes; one to remove the layer of bumpy paint, which comes off in sheets, and a second to clean up the loose texture underneath.
Coral reefs are found in shallow water where sea surface temperatures range from 68Â° F to 97Â° F.More than 90 percent of the worldâs coral reefs occur in the Indo-West Pacific biogeographic region.
Coral bleaching and ocean acidification are two climate-related impacts to coral reefs. One of the most important threats facing coral reefs on a global scale is a big one: climate change. Scientists agree that climate change is real, and this spells real trouble for the worldâs coral reefs. The global average combined land and ocean surface temperature for the month of June 2010 was the warmest on record. Global ocean temperature has risen by 1.3Â°F since the late 19th century and is continuing to climb. Rising (or even falling) water temperatures can stress coral polyps, causing them to lose algae (or zooxanthellae) that live in the polpysâ tissues.
