Description - Coral Reefs by Jenny Wood
Following on from "Volcanoes", "Storms", "Icebergs" and "Caves", this book in the "Nature" series continues in the same style, blending fact and fun, photographs and ilustrations and providing information about coral reefs. It describes the origins of coral reefs and the physical characteristics of a few of the 2,500 members of the species, the differences between fringe and barrier reefs, coral atolls, sponges and sea stars and the great variety of fish and sea plants that are found. An insight is also given into the destruction of the coral reefs and scientific indications that the giant Sea Star is bringing about much of the destruction. Included are instructions for the making of a miniature coral reef, a story and a quiz.
