Domelike mogotes in Valle de Vi?ales National Park, Cuba, emerge from a blanket of fog. These geologic formations date to the Mesozoic era, when layers of sedimentary limestone accumulated under water. Over time, acidic chemicals, along with wind and water erosion, molded these limestone remnants into mogotes.

Though corals get most of their food from the byproducts of zooxanthellae algae's photosynthesis, they also have barbed, venomous tentacles they can stick out, usually at night, to grab zooplankton and even small fish.
意译：珊瑚在自然界的模式。虽然珊瑚类得到很多它们的食物从副产品的动物黄藻类的光合作用，它们也有刺，有毒的触须能够粘住不放，通常在晚上，去夺取浮游动物和甚至小鱼。

Patterns in Nature: Coral
Similar to all corals, sea fans, such as this one in the Turks and Caicos Islands, are made up of tiny animals called polyps. When stressed by such things as temperature change or pollution, coral polyps will evict their colorful algae boarders, which can lead to coral bleaching and death.
意译：珊瑚在自然界的模式。相似的全部珊瑚，海扇，像这个在土耳其和Caicos岛屿，是制造很少的动物叫珊瑚虫。当强调例如温度改变或污染，珊瑚虫将要驱逐它们的华美的藻类寄主，因为能够导致珊瑚漂白和死亡。

Coral polyps can reproduce asexually, forming cloned buds that separate from the "parent." They can also release sperm and eggs into the ocean. Fertilized eggs develop into larva, which float off to start a new colony.

Boatyard at Sunset, Yscloskey, Louisiana, 2001
Photograph by Medford Taylor
A mauve sunset blankets a boatyard in Yscloskey, Louisiana, in 2001. This and nearly all the other fishing hamlets in the marshlands of St. Bernard Parish southeast of New Orleans were flattened in the summer of 2005 by Hurricane Katrina's 20-foot (6-meter) storm surge. Years later, the region's fisheries and oil and gas industries are still rebuilding.
