These are the largest structures built from living organisms in the world. Coral reefs are complex marine ecosystems. They are a biotope (area of life) of a biocenosis (community of living beings) consisting of plants and animals, for example worms, shellfish, sponges, thorns and crustaceans. Coral reefs play a significant role as “breeding grounds” for the offspring of fish inhabiting the high seas.

I believe it is extrusive
The PERIMETER of the equator cycle is about 40,000Km. The Greenwich cycle is a bit shorter as the earth is a bit an ellipsoid. About 37,000Km by Google Maps. The distance on the envelope between ANY antipodes (=opposite points on the axis, I won't use "diameter" to avoid confusion) is HALF the perimeter (If you walk the whole perimeter long, you'd get to the same point, of course). The distance through Earth is
D=P/Pi=37,000Km/Pi=about11777Km
