• Johnston AtollNarrower topic: Johnston’s reef and islands form an atoll system.

• Phoenix Islands Protected AreaRelated: Atolls define the form of several Phoenix Islands within the protected waters.

• Bora BoraCompared with: Bora Bora retains a central volcanic island rather than forming a low ring-shaped atoll.

• Cocos (Keeling) IslandsNarrower topic: The territory consists of two atolls built around central lagoons.

• Midway AtollNarrower topic: Midway is a specific example of this reef-and-lagoon landform.

• PeninsulaCompared with: An atoll is built around water rather than projecting from a larger landmass.

• Wake IslandNarrower topic: Wake Island’s land consists of low coral islands around a central lagoon.

• Clipperton IslandNarrower topic: Clipperton is a small, low atoll rather than a continental island.

• Hawaii hotspotRelated: Atolls such as Kure record the subsidence and erosion of hotspot-built volcanoes.

• Papahānaumokuākea Marine National MonumentRelated: Several low-lying atolls distinguish the monument’s northern reaches.

• South TarawaNarrower topic: Its narrow reef islets and lagoon define South Tarawa’s geography.

• Torres Strait IslandsBroader topic: Low coral islands in the group illustrate how reef processes shape settlement and land.

• Uninhabited islandBroader topic: Atolls often contain small, remote islets without permanent residents.

• AldabraNarrower topic: Aldabra is a raised example of this reef-ring landform.

• Austral IslandsNarrower topic: Atolls and reef formations account for some of the archipelago’s smaller islands.

• Chuuk LagoonCompared with: Chuuk has an enclosed lagoon, but its high volcanic islands distinguish it from a typical low atoll.

• Gambier IslandsNarrower topic: Some Gambier islands are atolls, part of the broader atoll landform type.

• MoruroaNarrower topic: Moruroa's reef-and-lagoon structure shaped where facilities and test zones could be placed.

• Kingman ReefRelated: Kingman is not a typical island-bearing atoll, but its reef structure invites comparison.
