Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. Barrier Reefs
2. Fringing Reef
3. Atolls
4. Barrier Reef
Explanation:
Barrier reefs are found farther offshore than fringing reefs, occurring most often in the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean.
Fringing reefs are reefs that grow very close to the shore on the mainland or high island (continental shelf or volcanic mid-ocean island) coasts
Atolls or atoll reefs are more or less circular or continuous barrier reef that extends all the way around a lagoon without a central island.
