A coral atoll is a large ring of coral that extends up to the ocean's surface and higher.
A coral atoll is a ring-shaped coral reef or island found in warm, tropical oceans. They are formed from the accumulation of coral skeletons on the rims of submerged volcanic islands over thousands of years. Atolls typically enclose a lagoon in their center.
The largest coral atoll in the world is Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, covering an area of around 6,600 square kilometers. It consists of 97 islets around a lagoon that is 16-97 km wide.
At the center of an atoll is usually a lagoon, which is a body of water surrounded by a ring of coral reef. The lagoon can vary in size and depth depending on the specific atoll.
A grouping of coral islands is called an atoll. Atolls are formed from coral reefs that have grown on the remnants of volcanic islands that have sunk in the ocean. They usually form a ring shape with a lagoon in the center.
An Atoll is the name used to refer to a group of related coral islands.
An island is a piece of land surrounded by water, whereas an atoll is a ring-shaped coral reef or a series of coral islets surrounding a lagoon. Atolls often form from volcanic islands that have subsided over time, leaving a coral reef structure.
