What reading level is Coral And Coral Reefs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You will see at once thatthis is the solution of the mystery, and nothing can be simpler or moreobvious when you come to think about it. Suppose we start with a coralsea and put in the middle of it an island such as the Mauritius. Nowlet the coral polypes come and perch on the shore and build a fringingreef, which will stop when they come to 20 or 25 fathoms, and you willhave a fringing reef like that round the island in the illustration. Solong as the land remains stationary, so long as it doe...s not descend solong will that reef be unable to get any further out, because themoment the polype embryos try to get below they die. But now supposethat the land sinks very gradually indeed. Let it subside by slowdegrees, until the mountain peak, which we have in the middle of it, alone projects beyond the sea level. The fringing reef would becarried down also; but we suppose that the sinking is so slow that thecoral polypes are able to grow up as fast as the land is carried down;consequently they will add layer upon layer until they form a deep cup, because the inner part of the reef grows much more slowly than theouter part.
