What are the four ocean margin habitats found along the continental shelf?
The four ocean margin habitats found along the continental shelf are rocky shores, sandy shores, estuaries, and coral reefs. Rocky shores are characterized by intertidal zones with rocks and boulders, while sandy shores have sandy substrates. Estuaries are semi-enclosed coastal bodies of water where freshwater from rivers mixes with saltwater from the ocean. Coral reefs are underwater structures formed by coral polyps and are found in warm, shallow waters.
What are the different forms of coral reef?
Coral reefs can take four forms; fringing reef, platform reefs, barrier reefs and atolls. Fringing reefs are narrow and shallow, and generally occur near the shore, they literally are a thin 'fringe' along the coast. Platform reefs are reef outcroppings far from shore that occur in calm water. They often have a shallow lagoon, and are flat on top. Barrier reefs are reefs growing along a coastline that are separated from the coastline by a lagoon. Barrier reefs are very similar to fringings except that they are much larger. Atolls are ring reefs that usually form at the base of a volcano. Over time the volcano dissapears, leaving a rin of reef surrounded by deep ocean.
Four Kinds of coral on the Great Barrier Reef?
Coral polyps are tiny animals that build protective calcium carbonate skeletons.Coral polyps create the basic structure of coral reefs with the help of single-celled algae.Coral reefs can be seen from space, but they are made by one of the world's simplest animals - some no bigger than the head of a pin. They are able do this because of their symbiotic relation with single-celled algae.
