Question

Using what you know about coral reefs. Where else on earth (other than Australia), would you expect to find coral colonies? Why do you think this?

Answer 1

Coral reefs are found in shallow water where sea surface temperatures range from 68° F to 97° F. More than 90 percent of the world's coral reefs occur in the Indo-West Pacific biogeographic region. Reef systems also can be found in the West Atlantic, East Atlantic, and East Pacific oceans between 30° N and 30° S.
