A reef that surrounds a volcanic island is what?
A reef that surrounds a volcanic island is known as a fringing reef. These reefs usually form close to the shoreline and develop on the shallow-water platform around the island. The growth of corals on the fringing reef is influenced by the volcanic activity and the geography of the island.
How can an island with fringing reefs become atoll?
An island with fringing reefs can become an atoll through a process known as subsidence. As the volcanic island gradually sinks due to tectonic activity or erosion, the surrounding coral reefs continue to grow upward toward the sunlight. Over time, the island may completely submerge, leaving a lagoon surrounded by the coral reef, thus transforming the fringing reef into an atoll. This process can take thousands to millions of years.
