One definite "aha" moment was the stages of an atoll formation. The only thing close I knew about the formation was when an active partially underwater volcano erupts, it creates an island over time. I had no clue that the island sinks creating la...
Yes, I thought so too! "where a lagoon was located. I didn't know it was between the island and the reef" I also agree when you said, "I had never heard that word in my life..or I thought" I haven't either and probably never would have if I hadn't...
I agree, I remember being confused reading about the atoll formation in The Enchanted Braid also. After we had class, things were cleared up. That is a good question, "are atolls really common?" I also agree how you stated, "I have definitely neve...
"One thing that confused me on Monday is when Mr. Neff told us that the inverted trophic pyramid isn't real. Can anyone help clear this up because I thought that it was." Totally forgot! I remember him saying (his name is Mr. NASH by the way, ha) ...
Oh that would make since! See I must not have heard or remembered how long tides are. 12 hours wouldn't create much of a problem for the creatures in the tide pools then. Thanks for resolving my issue
To start off, I had no clue there was "Oceanic Zones." I only thought there was deep and shallow parts of the ocean, not broken down into specific categories. The Pelagic zones are the zones classified horizontally, and the Benthic zones are class...
I have the same questions! "They do have to develope one right, they aren't just born like that right?" I believe that they are not born with that capability. I thought that they somehow adapt like the cactus story we learned in class 11-9, correc...
I REALLY like that, wouldn't it need some color to attract people?
The meeting monday night in my opinion was interesting, it had an impact on me of what is a good idea of dinner and what isn't. I only liked how we switched subjects so abruptly, one class we were learning tides, currents, bulges, etc then the nex...
This group is reserved for current students of Marine Biology. These students are enrolled in Honors Marine Biology within the Saint Joseph School District.
Not to knock you down or anything, the class was supposed to read chapters 1-4 ending to begin reading chapter 5 then blog over those 4 chapters, you got that right? One other thing, I think you meant to put "In chapter 1 and 2" instead, you put "...
Mr. Streib, I'm sorry to inform you but the pictures are being illegaly used. JUST KIDDING :)
Seriously, kudos to you. Your blog is good. Sweet pictures by the way :D
To start out, I really have not "blogged" since the end of the last school year and our blogs were not supposed to be this detailed and informative so here goes what I got. To be honest, I skipped over the preface because I wanted to get right int...

A New Beginning
Chapter 1-
The first two pages really were interesting and informative, but after that my view of this changed..I learned a few facts that I didn't know such as, "The deepest valleys on dry land become trifling nicks on the ocean floor." (4) this is basically telling me that there is no place on dry land that goes deep enough as the ocean does. Call me dumb, but I had no clue the ocean was so deep, my brain only thought the ocean went about a mile down not multiple miles down! One part that mad… Continue

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 p...
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 hav...
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 ...
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 ...
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 loca...
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 und...
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 t...
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 ...
Last class did clear up a lot of information about the atolls relating to the book The Enchanted Braid, and when the coral reef causes the volcano to sink, where does it sink to? Isn't it already at the bottom next to the tectonic plates? That wou...
I did not know there were different types of coral either until last mondays class. It was cool to find out information about how the coral reef can only grow in certain temperatures, being mostly warm temps. around the equator. Nice job Paula!
