Motu
Motu (arī moku; no polinēziešu valodām — ‘sala’ vai ‘saliņa’)[1] ir atola rifu salas, kas sastopamas tikai tropu ūdeņos. Šis termins attiecas tikai uz Polinēziju un Melanēziju. Klasiskais atols sastāv no vulkāniskas centrālās salas, ko ieskauj koraļļu rifs ar vairāk vai mazāk daudz dažādu formu un izmēru motu. Tie atrodas rifa virsotnē, parasti tikai nedaudz paceļas virs jūras līmeņa un sastāv no koraļļu atlūzām un smiltīm. Motu augāju veido palmas vai cita tropu veģetācija; salas bez veģetācijas parasti sauc par smilšu sēkļiem.
