Year 13 cover work - for 13B

1) Using this link: http://www.starfish.ch/reef/hotspots.html add on the marine hotspots to the world map we sketched in the first lesson.
2) Using the information from this website and other research pick 2 marine hotspots - explain why they have been declared as hotspots, what are their key characteristics and why they are under threat.
3) We will be looking at coral reefs and the value of coral reefs in the next lesson - find an article about coral reefs and their value for both human and the physical environment, read it and be ready to summarise it at the start of Thursday's lesson.

Any probs, email me.
