I wonder how something so small can build a giant reef? I learned that the coral takes calcium from the algae that lives inside of it and the surrounding seawater to produce calcium carbonate, otherwise known as limestone to build its reef skeleton.]]> 2021-06-08 05:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1591985072 1799611 https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1591986901 I noticed that coral eats very specific things.

I wonder why they have a different way of reproduction. I learned that instead of laying her eggs, the female will carry them inside her body. Providing extra safety from potential predators. The embryos develop within an egg case that has a thin membrane. Once developed the baby shark will hatch inside her mother, who'll then give birth to the young]]> 2021-06-08 06:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592100487 1799611 https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592106693 I noticed that a female shark and male have very distinguished features.

I wonder how does the stingers help Cnidarians to capture their prey? I learned that Cnidarians have 2 body plans, the polypoid and medusoid. ]]> 2021-06-08 06:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592134650 1799611 https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592136775 I noticed that climate change heavily affects our ecosystems. I wonder why climate change affects our ecosystem. I learned that when conditions such as the temperature change, corals expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, responsible for their color. A spike of 1–2°C in ocean temperatures sustained over several weeks can lead to bleaching, turning corals white. If corals are bleached for prolonged periods, they eventually die.]]> 2021-06-08 06:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592136775 1799611 https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592144179 I noticed that us humans affect our environment heavily due to our waste and plastic pollution. I wonder if anywhere in the future there will be a way to keep our oceans and our earth clean from pollution. I learned that more than 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals die from plastic pollution every year. 100% of baby sea turtles have plastic in their stomachs. There is now 5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces of plastic in our ocean & 46,000 pieces in every square mile of ocean, weighing up to 269,000 tonnes]]> 2021-06-08 06:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592144179 1799611 https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592157013 I noticed that coral reefs are beautiful.

I wonder what people in the future are going to do about it to protect our oceans. I learned that ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The main cause of ocean acidification is the burning of fossil fuels.]]> 2021-06-08 07:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592171569 1799611 https://padlet.com/1799611/xajmqf9cgszhjpoj/wish/1592186932 I noticed that many of my peers also completed this assignment and did an amazing job!.
