Question

The islands near the coast of the South Atlantic Ocean are coral islands and they are called atolls.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The islands of the Bahamas, in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, are coral islands. An atoll is a coral reef that begins by growing in a ring around the sides of an oceanic island. As the volcano slowly sinks into the sea, the reef continues to grow. Atolls are found chiefly in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
