7- The lost world of Atlantis : the Coral Trees

intresting , just a speculation a theory , i there is a stable continental shell that doesnt move much and lays on top , could it not be that over time over milions of years natural uplift from the continent and those diying and fall on top of each other , islands would break the surface ? and the islands that will keep sinking will make a stable foundation that when there is one island who 's luky end up on top of the pile start to grown to be over 9km and that those wortels will combine with the other sunken islands and make a small underwater mountain , while the top of the raidus keeps growing ? (( appolgies if my theory imaganation is extremly over it and not what you have in mind 😥 ))
