<h2>Answer: Atoll</h2>
An atoll is an oceanic coral island, usually in the shape of a circular ring, which may be completely or partially closed. It is also called by this term to the set of several small islands that are part of a coral reef, with an interior lagoon that generally communicates with the sea.
Atolls are formed when a coral reef grows around an oceanic volcanic island, as the island sinks into the ocean and disappears underwater, the growth of the coral increases until reaching the sea level, where the action of the wind and the waves erode it and transform it into sand.
It should be noted that this process can take millions of years.
In this sense, the Maldives, an island country located in the Indian Ocean (southwest of Sri Lanka and a few kilometers from India), has these characteristics.
Its territory is organized in 26 atolls and as a country it is constituted by some 1200 islands.

Answer:
The closest group of asteroids to our Sun is called the Asteroid Belt. It is 329 million to 478.7 million km away from our Sun.
Explanation:
No other group of asteroids is closer than this one. You can find the Asteroid Belt between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. Half of the mass of these asteroids is from asteroids Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea.
A divergent boundary is where two plates are moving away from each other. They are mostly found at oceanic spreading centers. The most well known one would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean. I think you mean a divergent boundary.
