Give you an example of an atoll?

Answer 1

An atoll is formed first as a reef that fringes a volcanic island.

As the island sinks (after the volcanic activity has ceased and the crust has cooled, becoming denser), the reef continues to build upward, eventually ending up as a ring-shaped structure.

Answer 2

An example of an atoll is the Maldives in the Indian ocean. Atolls are ring-shaped coral reefs with a lagoon in the center and islands around the rim. The Maldives consist of around 1,200 islands and are known for their stunning white sandy beaches and clear blue waters.
