Explanation

The coral islands of Lakshadweep are atolls - ring-shaped coral reefs that encircle a lagoon. Atolls form when coral reefs grow around a volcanic island that eventually sinks, leaving only the coral ring. Lakshadweep's islands are classic examples of atoll formations, not barrier reefs or continental reefs.
