NIWA - National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research

Artificially - fake

Atmospheric - the thing in the sky that keeps all 

High-resolution - means better quality

Examined by scientists - that means that scientists studys it.

Submersible - means it is a small submarine

Enabled - if you are Enabled you can do your work.

Seabed - is the thing at the bottom of the sea.

• How do the scientists study the reef? What are they trying to show or figure out?  Of how much or lower their ph can go.
• Why are the NZ scientists testing in an "artificially acidified sea water" - what does this mean?  It's like a fish tank where they use it to experiment on something.

• Why does Australia have tropical coral and NZ have cold-water coral?   Because Australia is in the equator and NZ is nowhere

 near the equator.

• Where does NZ cold-water coral grow? How far down?Why can't NZ have a tropical coral?  

The corals in Nz mostly grow for about 200 to 1000 meters down below

Nz cant have tropical coral because the temperature for the water in NZ is cold.

• How do scientists get the cold water coral so they can study it?  Fishermen accidentally fished it up
• Make a DLO showing 'before and after' type photos of coral reefs. Make a screencast and explain how coral reefs are damaged using your own words.
