What forms low islands?
Low islands can form through various processes such as coral reef accumulation, volcanic activity, or sediment deposition. Coral atolls are formed by the accumulation of coral reefs on a sinking volcanic island. Volcanic islands are created from the eruption of underwater volcanoes, and sedimentary islands are formed from the accumulation of sediment carried by waves and currents.
How is a low island formed?
A low island is typically formed by the buildup of coral reefs or by volcanic activity. Coral atolls are formed by the growth of coral reefs on the rim of submerged volcanic islands. Volcanic low islands are created by the eruption of underwater volcanoes, with the accumulated lava and ash forming the island over time.
What is the differences between a volcanic island and a coral island?
Volcanic islands are formed of igneous rock and lava. They tend to be tall, and have steep slopes. Coral islands are calcium carbonate (chemically the same as limestone) and are formed from the secretions of sea coral- an animal. They tend to be low to the water, and relatively flat.
