Landsat 7 Looks at Coral Reefs: (1 of 2)
Visualizations by
Stuart A. Snodgrass
Released on October 23, 2000
Coral forms off shore from volcanic islands in tropical latitudes, developing a barrier reef that's separated by a growing lagoon. But over time, while the surrounding ocean wears away the main body of the island, the coral ring remains.
