What is an Atoll? Know About this Natural Creation - The Teal Mango (TheTealMango)

An atoll refers to a ring-shaped coral reef, island, or series of islets. It surrounds a body of water called a lagoon.

Rangiro remains one of the largest atolls worldwide. The water of the lagoon is clear blue. Funafuti is the capital of Tuvalu, an island located in the Pacific Ocean. It remains the second-least populous sovereign state in the world. The top of the volcano becomes an oceanic island. As the volcano continues to erupt, the elevation of the seamount grows higher, thus breaking the surface of the water. The wonders of nature never fail to impress mankind, and an atoll is one of them.
