the coral reefs only grow in the under water and the continents are under water so it can grow and give a good place in the under water.
false only limestone
Limestone is mostly made up of fossilized coral piled and compressed by the weight of the ocean over millions of years. Coral require sunlight for photosynthesis so cannont grow in deep water. Also, coral does better in warm regions. Limestone is found where coral is successful. Warm, shallow water.
Coral limestone is formed almost completely from the calcitic skeletons of individual coral polyp colonies. Other limestones can be formed from the shells of marine organisms or be formed from the precipitation of calcite from a saturated solution, or a combination of the two. Chemically, they're pretty much the same.
A Sedimentary Rock. Eg, Bioclastic Limestone.

No coral isn’t limestone.
limestone that began as coral reefs can be found on the continents.
the world was once under water. this gave the coral conditons to grow.

Limestone deposits that began as coral reefs provide how plate motions have changed Earth's surface. These deposits also provide evidence of past environments.
YES
no it was formed by limestone
No. The Bahama are made of limestone, with much of the material coming from old coral reefs.
This is how coral reefs are formed. Coral will take salt from the sea and utilize it to create limestone skeletons on underwater objects.
