When we covered Midway in class, the whole atoll idea really set in. Once I made the connection between Midway and atolls, I immediately understood them a lot better. The whole idea that we bombed one is amazing still, but if you think about it, we…
Breathtaking. I want to go see one!
I know you've heard of the Battle Of Midway, but did you know Midway is an atoll? Kinda got me thinking.
It blew my mind to think an island would sink. I can see a boat sinking, or an airplane, or even a person who cant swim, but to think that a land mass sinks amazes me. The formation of atolls is astounding, and brings me to question why people don't…
It beats the some of the beaches in Alaska that are just rocks. I also thought that about Barrier Reefs. Im glad we learned that.
I understand now. That helps.
To an extent. Does this mean they find water to make gills efficient, or does it mean they produce a saliva or water based substance to clear up their needs?
Brooke, I like how you brought Animal Planet into this. That was hilarious.
I too thought those animals were amazing to be able to do that. I really want to look into how they are able to do that. I mean, do they have lungs? How can they switch bac…
I've always kind of stereotyped the ocean. See, I grew up always visiting the West Coast and only saw that side of the ocean. The Pacific Ocean there is very cold with large powerful waves that can knock people flat. The wind always blows real hard,…
I have to agree with Brook, wouldn't the creatures get new water? Or is that sea splash or something and the water truly doesnt go that high? Just something to think about.
As I read the book "The Enchanted Braid," I could hear the passion that Mr. Davidson shares for the coral reefs. He explains the corals vividly with many details. He has connected with the reefs and the animals in them, as I hope we do when we visit…
I cant lie, this video is goofy! Its defines the subject real well. Good job man.

Lost at Sea
As I read the book "The Enchanted Braid," I could hear the passion that Mr. Davidson shares for the coral reefs. He explains the corals vividly with many details. He has connected with the reefs and the animals in them, as I hope we do when we visit them. It's obvious that Mr. Davidson is entranced by there beauty, and upset when they are destroyed.
In the book, chapter "Animals, Plants, Vegetable" deeply perplexed me. How can something not be classified in one group? Sure, it fits characterist… Continue

Before last class time’s discussion I was totally confused! I wasn’t exactly sure why the island sinks so I assumed it was because of the weight of the coral. I now understand that it is because of the weight of the magma. (the coral is just a contr…
There isn't much that was cleared up for me during last class, because I had taken it the exact way that it was intended from the class before it. However, I learned a few things that basically just clarified what I already knew. The idea that Mr. N…
This should work.

Very true I guess but if nothing else, this proves it. And also, if they did not do this, it could have been just another resort island where people come and go all the time so the coral would have been killed or damaged.
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…
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?
Awesome video. I forgot all about that.
;)
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!

Hatchery-raised salmon too crowded
Every year, large numbers of hatchery-raised young salmonids are released into Swedish rivers and streams to compensate for losses in natural production. Butthese fish generally survive poorly in the wild. Researchers have discovered why: the young fish are too crowded at the hatchery.Dental delight: Tooth of sea urchin shows formation of biominerals
Some of the most common minerals in biology, including those in bones and shells, have a mysterious structure: Their crystals are positioned in the same orientation, making them behave as one giant crystal, even though they do not look like a faceted crystal.Marine Research Is Key To 'Super Foods' Market
Milk drinks that lower blood pressure, meat products that reduce the risk of heart disease, chocolate that calms you down and a new range of foods that can fight obesity can be created from marine animals and plants. Japan already has several product ranges on the shelves and research programs are underway all over the world to create more. And now Ireland is well on the way to becoming a player in this worldwide multi-billion euro industry, according to recently presented research results.Turtles' Christmas journey tracked by scientists
Noelle and Darwinia are two adult female leatherback turtles that nest in Gabon, Western Central Africa. A research team has fitted each turtle with a small satellite tracking device, which enables the scientists to monitor their precise movements and observe where and how deep they dive.Rise in human-made carbon dioxide affects ocean acoustics
Oceanographers have discovered that seawater sound absorption will drop by up to 70 percent this century, due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide causing ocean acidification. As a result, underwater sound could travel farther, and this could lead to growing noise levels in the oceans. Increasing transparency of the oceans to low-frequency sounds could also enable marine mammals to communicate over longer distances.© 2009 Created by Sean Nash
