Fringed reefs
Grow along the borders of
islands and continents.

Grow in patches behind barrier reefs with flat
upper surface.
Platform reefs

Grow between a
landmas and continents.
Barrier reefs
Most Corals depend on sunlight, and grow in clear and shallow waters of not
more than 50 meters deep, at water temperature of at
least 20 degree Celsius. These corals make a major contribution to the physical structure of the coral reefs that develop in tropical and
subtropical waters.

Most corals depend on sunlight and grow in clear and shallow water. Coral reefs are made up of corals which are marine organisms from the phylum cnidaria and exist as small sea-anemone like polyps. Coral reefs are formed from the piling up of the skeletons of marine animals cemented together by living blue-green and red algae. Coral reefs grow in a water temperature of at least 20 degree Celsius. Answe
