The structure and distribution of coral reefs
Book • 1842
In this groundbreaking monograph, Charles Darwin presents his theory on the formation of coral reefs, proposing that they develop through a process of subsidence.
He categorizes reefs into fringing, barrier, and atoll types, explaining how they evolve over time as land subsides.
The book is based on observations from his voyage on the HMS Beagle and was influential in the field of geology.
