A circular reef that forms above a guyot is known as an atoll. Atolls typically develop around the rim of a submerged volcanic island, with the lagoon in the center. Over time, as the island erodes and sinks, the coral reef continues to grow upward, maintaining its circular shape. This unique structure supports diverse marine ecosystems and is often found in tropical ocean waters.
