How is oil deposited in the atolls in some regions of the pacific?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Oil is deposited in atolls in some regions of the Pacific through natural processes such as seepage from underground oil reservoirs, where oil rises to the surface and accumulates in the porous coral reefs and sands of atolls. This oil can also originate from oil spills or leaks from shipping vessels and other human activities. Over time, the oil can become trapped within the atoll's geological structures and persist in the environment.

Why was coral atoll chosen for the nuclear tests?
The U.S. used the pacific atolls because they were isolated from large population centers and because the Marshal Islands (where many of these atolls were) were entirely under U.S. control after WW2, so could freely involuntarily evacuate indigenous populations of the atolls that testing was planned on. The USSR did all of their testing inland for security reasons (they also did not have control over any atolls). The British did much of their testing inland on Australia and some in the pacific on Christmas island. The French did their testing in the Sahara desert. The Chinese did all of their testing inland for security reasons. etc.
