Largest coral die-off

You may hear of people being killed from natural causes, but this earthquake, which happened two years ago, in Jakarta, Indonesia caused the largest coral die-off ever documented. The scientists from the U.S.-based Wildlife Conservation Society and the government-backed Australian Research Council Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, studied the product of the earthquake. Because of this earthquake, it caused the corals to have the largest die-off ever documented.

This problem can relate to science and life because the earthquake caused several people to die and the largest coral die-off.

In my opinion, the earthquake caused countless people to die and also caused the largest coral die-off. Even tough most of the coral had died, the scientist concluded that the coral would eventually grow back in several years to come.
Because of this natural disaster, it took away the lives of several people, but the people in Indonesia couldn’t have predicted or done anything to help other’s death.
