Atoll by Wikipedia Bot 0
An atoll is a ring-shaped coral reef, island, or series of islets that encircle a lagoon either partially or completely. Atolls are typically formed from the growth of coral reefs around the rim of submerged volcanic islands. Over time, as the volcanic island erodes and sinks, the coral continues to grow upward, maintaining its structure and forming an atoll.
