    Coral reefs are rocklike structures that house many marine organisms. There are three main types of reefs: fringing reefs near shore, barrier reefs separated from shore by lagoons, and atoll reefs with open water in the center. Coral reefs have several zones from surface to depth with different characteristics. Reefs are economically and ecologically important as they provide resources, protect coastlines, and support biodiversity. Conservation efforts include restricting pollution, overharvesting, and educating the public. Mangrove swamps are coastal ecosystems found in tropical regions between land and sea. They are muddy areas covered in salt-tolerant trees and plants that support wildlife. Mangroves

    CORAL REEFS - A rocklike structure or ecosystem that houses different marine plants,

    animals, and other organisms.


    - A living polyp or coelenterate that has a tubular and hollow body.

    A. Types and Zones


    The types of reefs differ in size, shape, and relation to a nearby land.

    Types of Reefs
     Fringing reefs- A reef that is commonly formed near islands where water is
    shallow.
    - It is directly attached to the shore.
     Barrier reefs - A reef that is separated from the island shore by a lagoon
    (shallow stretch of water partly separated from the sea by a strip of sand).
     Atoll reefs - A circular reef with open water at the center.

    Zones in Coral Reefs

     Reef surface- The shallowest part of the reef.


    - Tides (the rising or falling of water) always stir up the water
    in this highest part of the reef.
    - Sunlight could easily reach this area enabling planktons
    (minute organism that float in water) to undergo photosynthesis.
    - Corals in the reef surface feed on planktons.
    - Red algae, small crabs, shrimps, cowries, and other plants
    and animals reside in the reef.

     Off-reef floor - The shallow seafloor that surrounds a reef.


    - It is usually a sandy floor where sea grass meadows
    grow in the coral reefs.
    - Varied schools of fish stay in this zone.
     Reef drop-off - also called reef floor
    - The zone that surrounds the oceanic islands.
    - Many fish find this place a shelter because there are
    plenty of planktons on which they can feed.
    - Sponges, sea whip, sea fan, and non-reef-building
    corals are abundant in this zone.
     Reef face - Massive corals and coralline algae thrive in here.
    - Many large fish like sharks, barracudas, and tunas
    swim through the grooves in search for food.
     Reef flat- Many corals and different kinds of fish live in the reef flat.
    - It is the sandy bottom area that surrounds a lagoon
    behind the sheltered side of the main reef.
    - It serves as a protective area for chunks of corals in the
    area.
    - It supports a great number of marine animals like mollusks,
    worms, and crustaceans.
     Reef lagoon - A quiet water area enclosed by many coral reefs.
    - It is made up of bare rocks and sand; thus, this area
    is less affected by waves.
    - Small reef patches of algae and invertebrates are also
    present in this area.
     The shape and structure of the different zones in coral reefs change
    yearly because of growing corals and the tropical storms that move the
    reef.
     Tropical storms may knock down large sections of reefs and cause
    boulders on sandy areas to slide down.
    B. Importance

    • Give economic benefits to people.


    • Act as a wave breaker that protect the shoreline.
    • Serve as barriers to tidal waves and break the big waves into small ones.
    • Used for decorations at home and in establishments
    • Crushed corals are sometimes used in building roads and highways.

    C. Protection and Conservation


    • Conserve water
    • Help reduce pollution
    • Dispose of trash properly
    • Plant trees
    • Volunteer for cleanup projects for coral reefs

    MANGROVE SWAMPS - An ecosystem between the land and sea of coastal


    settings like lagoons, bays, creeks, and inlets.
    A. Characteristics
    - it is found along tropical seacoasts and in estuaries
    - It is usually muddy, with standing shallow water filled with mosquitoes,
    snakes, spiders, and other animals.
    - It is covered with salt-loving trees, shrubs, and other plants.
    - Special plants that can survive in a muddy environment.
    B. Importance
    • good sources of timber and other construction materials sources of firewood
    and charcoal
    • act as a wave barriers that protect coastlines against storm and wave surge
    usually caused by a storm.
    • They preserve the coastlines and prevent soil erosion.
    • Mangroves are capable of absorbing pollutants such as heavy metals, toxic
    substances, as well as nutrients and other suspended matter.
    • Provide food and areas for nesting, nursing, and breeding for many vertebrates,
    such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

    C. Protection and Conservation


    •Overcutting of trees, disposing of wastes, and spilling oil in these areas are
    prohibited.
    •Government carries out programs on reforestation.
    • Mangrove Swamp tourist attractions are carefully supervised.
    • Public awareness and educational campaigns about mangrove swamps can
    help protect such ecosystem.
    FRICTION AND GRAVITY
    2 TYPES OF FORCE
    Contact Force - A type of force that results from direct contact between two surfaces.
    Noncontact Force - A force that does not involve direct contact between objects. This
    force acts at a distance.
    FRICTION - The attraction of the particles of two materials when their bumps and
    hollows rub against each other.
    A. Kinds of Friction
    a. Static Friction- The friction between the two objects in contact that are not
    moving.
    b. Sliding Friction - The force that occurs when two solid surfaces slide over
    each other.
    c. Rolling Friction - The force between a wheel or roller and the surface which it
    is in contact with.

    B. Effects of Friction and Gravity


    EFFECTS OF FRICTION
    ▪ Friction prevents you from sliding while walking.
    ▪ Friction helps in stopping moving objects.
    ▪ Friction helps you identify objects and determine how these objects should be
    handled.
    ▪ produces heat

    Gravity - The phenomenon that keeps our feet on the ground.


    - The attraction between any two bodies of matter.
    - Every object has gravity
    - So, every object pulls on every other object
    - The more mass an object has, the harder it pulls.

    TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY
    A. Forms of Energy
    a. Kinetic energy- refers to the energy possessed by a body in motion.
    - The kinetic energy of an object increases as its velocity increases.
    b. Potential energy - refers to the energy stored in a body as a result of its state
    or position.

    Gravitational Potential Energy


    - Potential energy due to gravity.
    - An object's gravitational potential energy increases as it goes
    higher above the ground.
    -

    2. Light
    3. Sound
    4. Electrical Energy
