Stunning, Sublime, Breathtaking & Exquisite💓The Great Barrier Reef❣ born & bred a Queenslander☝Incredible Indigenous history (ancestral homelands)in Australia around 40-60 thousand yrs of it. There are more than 7 wonders in the beautifully diverse landscape of Australia prolific with wildlife. Thank you🙌Nat Geo WILD😊The Lucky Country!💞
Not a chance we'll still be here, marine life will be destroyed long before then too

@@irishjay9485 politicians would have successfully taken out human civilisation long before then. Most likely within the next 100 years due to their greed and tyrannical laws that would lead to the earth's dimize.
2000 y.a this area wasnt even underwater. It was covered with ecualypus and paper bark forests. And it was homr to animals commonly found on the Australia plains. Aboriginal peopla would have lived here too, hunting wildlife in areas that are know deep under water. Then 10000 y.a at the end of the last Ice Age. Ice at the poles melted and sea levels rose all around the world, flooding this low lying coast. Storiea of the Great Flood are still pased down in Aboriginal culture today. As the sea roses, corals began to grow on thr Rocky fringes of the continetal shelf, creaTing the great barrier reef we see today. This shallow tropical water are clear and warm, perfect conditions for coral to thrive. Sheltered bihind this long strip of reef, a lagoon was born an areas of protected water larger than all of Great Britain. With it came a new costline of shallow, sandy waters. Tge rissing sea cut off areas of high ground, creating the 600 islands that dot the lagoon. Some are little more than rocks. Others substantial mountains covered in Woodland. The great Barrier Reef is so large
So, if it weren't for sea level rise, a rising global temperature, and a rising carbon dioxide level, there would be no reef. The lesson: more water, higher temperature, and more carbon, builds a bigger coral reef. Hmmm🤔
This explanation is no literally true it is only a story actually coral reef are formed by polyps organism's calcerous skeleton accumulating in a large number, when they accumulate they form a steady landmass and when this landmass below the water it is called coral reef and when that landmass emerges from the water it forms an island for example - laxshadweep island
