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.
An Atoll is the name used to refer to a group of related coral islands.
Atoll. Atolls are oceanic reef formation, often having a characteristic ring-like shape surrounding a lagoon. Atolls are formed when coral reef grows around a volcanic island that later subsides into the ocean.
Atolls are typically found in warm tropical and subtropical oceans, particularly in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are commonly found in areas with low-lying coral reef islands surrounding a central lagoon. Some well-known atolls include the Maldives, Tuamotu Archipelago, and Marshall Islands.
