Plunge Point

For a plunging wave, the point at which the wave curls over and falls.

The final breaking point of the waves just before they rush up on the beach.

Coral Bleaching

A phenomenon in which corals under stress (e.g., by elevated water temperature) expel their symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) in large numbers, or the concentration of algal photosynthetic pigments decreases. As a result, the corals' white skeletons show through their tissue and they appear bleached.
