URRRRRRRGGG. Why is the hyperlink NOT working?
Awesome video. But that music drives me INSANE. I can't take it. :X Were pretty much on the same page. I had know idea the process it took to make an atoll. 300,000,000 years seems like a looooooooong time for something to form. But when you see pic…
OK, so I get the feeling EVERYONE wants to visit one. So... why don't we just all go there?
One huge "aha" moment I had last class was where a lagoon was located. I didn't know it was between the island and the reef. I just always assumed it was just a mass of water that was out in the ocean by itself. Maybe from watching to much Spongebob…
Whoa. That's sick to think algae is in all those common everyday things Americans eat. Didn't he also say it was in gum. Or am I totally making that up? I'll have to check up on that.
You did an awesome job looking up all those definitions. I'm a visual learner too, so when I was making my post. I opened up my Marine Biology book. I have to see it in person, or in pictures to understand something. One thing I think we all didn't…
Honestly, before last Monday's class, I had no clue about the levels of the ocean other that what we had breifly talked about in class. Some things that I learned was the fact that 90% of the living species in the ocean live in the "Photic Zone." 90…
I thought Monday night was one of the best meetings we have had so far. Even though I don't eat seafood, it still make an impact on me. When I go out to resataunts now, and someone orders seafood, I'm just gonna pull out that handy chart & tell them…
This is freaking awesome! I'm downloading it right now! :)

Anyways, back to the book. I REALLY had intentions of rea…

Last Monday's class cleared up how the atolls sank, the coral is not the major cause of their sinking, it is the weight of the magma that comes out of the volcano. I was confused about how the coral weighed this much, but this cleared it up for me.
One thing that really was cleared up for me last class was the fact that reefs don't cause islands to sink. It is caused by the magma moving underneath the surface of the plate. I also thought it was cool that there are more islands to Hawaii than w…

And yes... atolls are "rare" in terms of the total surface area of the Earth in which they cover. However, in some areas (the South pacific) they are certainly relatively more common. I too concur- I have…
Well... yes and no. A "barrier reef" certainly IS a stage of reef/atoll formation. However, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, as well as the Florida Keys/Bahamas are a different sort of "barrier reef" in many ways. You are all doing a good job of…
Yep- that's another one we will examine in tonight's session.
North End peeps will always make the connection to the "Krug Park Lagoon"... which... is obviously a different sort of thing. ;)
The type of reef we will study in the Keys is a unique type... this will come up in tonight's session!
You just claimed Spongebob to be an educational tool? You have now climbed the ladder of awesomeness (in my mind) to an all-new level!
While there are a lot of good things about the reefs to talk about and analyze in a much greater depth, I will only talk about those in a few short sentences. In truth, most of this stuff we learned about with the reefs themselves, I learned when we…
Absolutely amazing!
Hmm...I also had heard of the Great Barrier Reef, but I never knew it was a stage of formation. I think I thought it was actually just part of the name...
I'm afraid I disagree, Carsen. Spongebob is a great educational tool. (Here's the Goo Lagoon for future reference...) I definitely learned that sponges were living creatures. =D
But I also didn't know what an atoll was. Or where a lagoon was locate…
Last weeks discussion was also amazing for me. I learned so much and was totally interested. I definitely agree that bombing Enewetok was a terrible idea!
The story about the seashell is crazy! Thank you for sharing it with us. It helped me to under…
I totally had the wrong idea about lagoons as well! Whenever I hear the word “lagoon” I always think of a nasty creature crawling out of a green swampy area. Haha. I had also never heard of an atoll as well until this class. I had always thought tha…
First of all, I searched for an animation of the coral formation process and found this site. Not only does it clearly explain the formation, it also reveals a fascinating fact: "The process of atoll formation may take as long as 30,000,000 years to…
