effeCts on CorAl reefs
A hurricane (also tropical cyclone, typhoon) is a warm-core, low-pressure system that develops over tropical or subtropical waters. Most hurricanes form from a trough of low-pressure, over ocean surface temperatures greater than 26°C. As air moves across the ocean surface, it extracts moisture (water vapour) and energy (as a result of evaporation) from the ocean. The low pressure draws air inwa...

Coral reefs have been degrading faster than they have been recovering (Done 1992; Ginsburg 1994; Hughes 1994; Grigg and Birkeland 1997; McManus and Vergara 1998; Wilkinson 1993, 1998) and they have been accruing in their degraded states because they achieve alternate stable states of algae instead of corals (Knowlton et al. 1981; Knowlton 1992; Done 1992; Hughes 1994), and because rates of dama...
