8 Types of coral reefs


Barrier reef – a reef separated from a mainland or island shore by a deep lagoon.
patch reef – an isolated, often circular reef, usually within a lagoon or embayment.



Apron reef – a short reef resembling a fringing reef, but more sloped; extending out and downward from a point or peninsular shore.

Bank reef – a linear or semi-circular shaped-outine larger than a patch reef.


Ribbon reef – a long, narrow, somewhat winding reef, usually associated with an atoll lagoon.


Atoll reef – a more or less circular or continuous barrier reef extending all the way around a lagoon without a central island.
Table reef – an isolated reef, approaching an atoll type, but without a lagoon.

Coral Reef

Hello there, My name is Mayelin (Maylean) and I know yours is Tayla. I am in 8th grade and currently a student at C I S 339.I LOVE singing, and anything that has to do with FUN. Well, I am an outgoing person, I love to have fun and chill with my friends. My friends names are Katherine, Magdalena, Divanna, Irianis, Natalie, Amanda and Bethanie. Long story short, in my AMAZING science class we are currently studying about the Coral Reef. On June 9, we have a special thing going on called DOT TO DOT. We basically have to share our projects online that we are working on for each subject with the world, when I mean the world it is literally THE WORLD. I chose to work on Mass Extinction. Mass Extinction is the process in which huge numbers of species die out suddenly. Well, Tayla it was nice "meeting you" LOL. I got to go now, take care and enjoy your days, weekends, JUST HAVE FUN.

Hi, Zach. My name is Rotceh(row-c). I am a thirteen year old girl, who goes to C.I.S.339, Bronx N.Y. I am Puerto Rican. I like to play baseball, basketball, and video games too. I also love to draw cartoons, it's so much fun., and read. You should really read Twilight and should try drawing too. My teacher, Mrs. Johnson, also taught us about inveterbrae. Wow, I never saw the brittle star before. In our school, we are doing a science project about coral reef for Dot to Dot. In my other classes, we are all doing different projects also. Have you heard about Dot to Dot?

Hiii Jake :) My name is Carolina and I live in New York. I am 14 years old, I attend C.I.S 339 and my science teacher is Ms.Johnson. She has taught me a lot about coral reefs and she is a great teacher. I like writing and reading and boys and hanging out with my friends. My favorite colour is purple, I don't really play any sports but I like watching other people play lol.

I hope it turns out good.I think that the animal your doing is really cool! (I never knew an octopus could kill 27 people. that's awesome).
