Atoll is a term used to name islands of volcanic origin that have a circular or irregular shape in which a large amount of biodiversity is concentrated in its interior, while the volcano is located on the bottom of the atoll. These structures can be found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, with even some countries that are formed by atolls, such as Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Maldives and Seychelles. The largest atoll in the world is located in the Pacific Ocean and belongs to Kiribati, the atoll is known by the name of Christmas Island, which covers 75% of the entire territory of the country, what few stop to think about is the latest eruptions that each of the atolls in the world had, this is very difficult, because almost never once has a scientist dived to the bottom or near an atoll to analyze the possible lava flows that the formation of the structure left before forming.
