1. Are the corals on the Great Barrier Reef at high risk, moderate risk, or low risk of bleaching due to heat stress? Use the temperature data to explain your answer.

Moderate risk.

Explanation:

Now, I would say between moderate and high but the bars are not all that high, but yes, the coral will be damaged by overbleaching caused by heat stress. The bars are above at minimum 21.77 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 31 degrees Celsius. Coming from a middle schooler, it sounds like a brainless answer. I hope you get it right

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
