How can coral atoll be attached to ocean floor when coral cannot live or form reefs in the deep ocean?
Coral atoll are tiny sea animals that live in shallow water, but when reefs form the new coral grow over the skeleton of the old. As the ocean crust beneath the volcano sinks, the coral sinks with it, and the new coral continues to form on top of the old. Eventually, coral covers the whole volcano. It can survive with the ocean waves bringing in new food and more marine life.
