Question
Which one of the following statements is not true about the subsidence theory of Coral reefs?
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
Coral polyps are tiny, soft-bodied organisms related to sea anemones and jellyfish. At their base is a hard, protective limestone skeleton called a calicle, which forms the structure of coral reefs.
Reefs begin when a polyp attaches itself to a rock on the seafloor, then divides, or buds, into thousands of clones. As per darwin’s theory polyps grow only in shallow ocean water.
