What is the water movement of coral reef?
Coral reefs don't move because they cannot afford it. The undersea movers are not cheap.
Explain why almost all growth in a coral reef occurs within 40 meters of the water's surface.?
Because almost all algae that lives in the coral animals (the coral animal needs it to survive.) needs to be between 40 meters to survive or else it will die along with the coral animal.
In what depth of water are coral reefs found in what depth are coral reefs found?
They are found no more then 46m below the surface!
How are islands made?
They are areas of land that are higher than the water level. They can be "made" through various processes such as undersea volcanoes (such as Hawaii), erosion of a headland or through biological processes such as coral atolls.
What is the differences between a volcanic island and a coral island?
Volcanic islands are formed of igneous rock and lava. They tend to be tall, and have steep slopes. Coral islands are calcium carbonate (chemically the same as limestone) and are formed from the secretions of sea coral- an animal. They tend to be low to the water, and relatively flat.

What happens to the water in winter in the coral reef?
The waters have to be perfect for the coral. If the water gets too cold, the coral dies. If the water gets too hot. Why does the coral die if it's too hot or cold? Slight variations in temperature can actually kill the coral. The perfect temperature for coral to grow is a steady 30 degrees Celsius. There are concerns that global warming is having a destructive effect on the coral reefs.
Why are coral reefs importart of the ocean?
Coral reefs are important to the sea because they give oxygen to the fish(whales) so they can survive in the water for long without coming to the surface
Is coral an autotroph or a heterotroph?
A heterotroph. Polyps (The actual living part of the coral. The hard rock like structure of coral is a by-product of the polyp's growth) within the coral use microscopic filaments drift in the water and catch phytoplankton that drifts past. This mainly occurs at night.

Where did the heat come from to evaporate the water from sea water?
the undersea volcanoes.
Does a polyp live close to a surface under water?
Yes, polyps typically live close to the surface of the water on the ocean floor or on rocks in coral reefs. They use their tentacles to capture food particles from passing water.
