What is the wheather like in the coral reef?
It depends on if the reef is tropical or not. Most coral reefs are located in tropical and sub-tropical regions, as corals cannot grow in temperatures lower than about 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit). Corals found in cold water such as the Baltic Sea are geological, rather than biological in origin. Similarly, if sea surface temperatures are too high, the coral cannot survive. 31 degrees Celsius (87 degrees F) appears to be about the maximum in which coral can survive without suffering from bleaching. The world's largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef, varies between 22 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius (71 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the season and on how far north, or closer to the equatorial zone, one travels.
Where are coral reefs located?
Coral reefs are either restricted or absent from along the west coast of the Americas, as well as the west coast of Africa. This is due primarily to upwelling and strong cold coastal currents that reduce water temperatures in these areas (Nybakken, 1997). Corals are also restricted from off the coastline of South Asia from Pakistan to Bangladesh (Spalding et al., 2001). They are also restricted along the coast around north-eastern South America and Bangladesh due to the release of vast quantities of freshwater from the Amazon and Ganges Rivers respectively. Famous coral reefs and reef areas of the world include: * The Great Barrier Reef - largest coral reef system in the world, Queensland, Australia; * The Belize Barrier Reef - second largest in the world, Belize, Central America; and * The Red Sea Coral Reef - located off the coast of Egypt and Saudi Arabia. * Pulley Ridge - deepest photosynthetic coral reef, Florida * Many of the numerous reefs found scattered over the Maldives

What are the difference of corals and coral reefs?
A coral reef is a colony of corals. A coral reef can be formed on rock rubble, but old established coral reefs are actually structured out of dead coral. This is one of the reasons it takes so long for a reef to form. Some corals may life for tens or even hundreds of years before they die and allow another coral to grow on top of their skeleton. There are many types of coral reefs, but the real difference is that coral is what makes up a coral reef.
