The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's examination of the natural history of coral reef formation. It is meticulously researched and populated with observations from the author's firsthand travels throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans during the voyage of the HMS Beagle. Traveling aboard the HMS Beagle, the author, Charles Darwin, carefully studied the natural history of the places he visited and recorded his observations and theories on the formation of coral reefs. He shared his detailed descriptions and observations of atolls, or lagoon islands, as well as barrier and fringing reefs. His theory, presented in this book, is that coral reefs are formed by the gradual growth of coral polyps, which build up from the bottom of the sea to create the structures and landforms that we see today. Darwinâs work, based on extensive research, provided a significant contribution to our understanding of the natural world and the formation of coral reefs, continuing to influence and inform scientific thought on the subject.
