In Abu Dhabi corals don’t die because they managed to beat
the heat, many question were asked according to this statement so Prof Burt
take sample and make an experiment to range the temperature with the corals.
They found that coral live in symbiotic, its type of algae that live inside the
coral tissue that provide the shelter for corals and they are co-dependent
species that if one dies the other is unable to feed itself. In 2010 was hot
too and they accepted to increase by 2 to 3 C warmer by 2100 and the
atmospheric carbon dioxide would have its own corrosive effect. Corals white Skelton is made of calcium
carbonate same as human bones and its sensitive to change in water chemistry.
However, coral reproduce in one of two ways through fragmentation or larval
production. Coral larvae are produced in massive spawning they float around the
sea up to a week until reach the rocky surface, and the slight increase in
stress can push them over the edge.
