which process formed the islands of the maldives?
volcanic activity
soil building
land breaking away
coral buildup
The Maldives is a country composed of coral islands. Coral buildup is the process where coral polyps secrete calcium carbonate to form coral reefs and islands over time. Volcanic activity forms islands like those in Hawaii. Soil building is a general process not specific to the formation of the Maldives' unique coral - based islands. Land breaking away would form different landforms like some coastal separations but not the Maldives.
