Let's discuss the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is an oceanic jewel located in the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia and is the largest system of coral reefs found on Earth. It is a geological feature that is half alive (corals, sponges, shellfish, fish, etc.) and half inanimate (calcium carbonate rocky reefs). How in the world this geologic and biologic feature formed, and how is it continually maintained? Was this Great Barrier Reef always there, since billions of years ago? Why is it so amazingly long (about 1,400 miles) and why is it considered the largest biologically created structure in the world? Why should we humans care about the Great Barrier Reef? Is it dying, or is it still growing? Do we feed ourselves from it? Are we going to die if the Great Barrier Reef Dies?
