Its when a sea animal forms a skeleton from calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Calcium carbonate is dissolved in seawater, but less soluable at higher temperatures. The majority of animals with calcareous skeletons, such as corals, are found in the tropics where it takes less energy to get it out of the seawater
