@Vocaloid

Answer 22

now tell me a little bit about what you learned...

Answer 23

ok um,

Coral reefs are generally found in tropical oceans. They form in waters from the surface to about 150 feet deep because they need sunlight to survive. Reefs usually develop in areas that have a lot of wave action because the waves bring in food, nutrients and oxygen to the reef. Reefs need calcium from the water to grow, which is more often available in shallow warm waters. The sun is the source of energy for the coral reef ecosystem. Coral reef ecosystems are important for many reasons. They remove and recycle carbon dioxide, which is a gas that contributes to global warming.Reefs provide food, for example, lobster and conch.

Answer 28

im terrible at putting things in my own words :( can you help me with that

Answer 29

uh, not really, but here's a helpful tip: read through the information again carefully, then write down what you remember WITHOUT looking at the original source. whatever you write will probably be in your own words

Answer 30

all you need to do is describe the coral reef in a different way than the author does

Answer 31

#1 Coral reefs can be found in oceans at about 150 feet deep! Coral reefs need sunlight to survive. Reefs need vitamin D from the ocean water so they can grow bigger, which is easier to get in shallow water.

Answer 32

DO NOT USE MY EXACT WORDS!

ok thanks for an example :)
