Island

Island

Island Island, any part of the world smaller than the continent and completely surrounded by water. Islands can originate from the sea, oceans, lakes or rivers. The archipelago is called the archipelago. Tribes can be considered continental or oceanic. Oceanic islands are those that rise above the sea floor. The continental islands are merely a body of water on a continental shelf completely submerged. Many of the world's largest continental islands. Greenland (2,1755,000 square miles), the largest island, is made of the same material as the North American continent, which is separated from it Similarly, the second largest island in the world, New Guinea (309,000 square miles), is part of the Australian continent and is separated from it only by A slight curve in the sea near the Torres Strait would be enough to join New Guinea to Australia, a slight rise in sea level it can submerge its hilly coastline and leave behind tropical mountains such as small coastal islands (such as those near the coast of Boston and the coastal islands of Maine). The islands that rise below the sea floor are volcanic. Lava accumulates in great quantities and eventually emerges above the sea. The mudflats that make up Hawaii rise 9,000 feet [9,700 m] above sea level. The sea is an obstacle to other forms of life but acts as a carrier for others, which, once established in their new home, often create new features in The long-standing ocean barrier creates a stark contrast between animal life and vegetation and even on nearby islands, and in this case the origin of the island can be deduced from this. In addition, any detailed map of the biological regions of the world shows the importance of the islands in determining the boundaries of animal and vegetable health. For example, west of the Wallace’s Line running between Bali and Lombok and between Borneo and Celebes, these islands are Asian, but to the east in line, with the exception of the Lombok Strait, vegetation and animal health by Australia. Oceanic islands are often colonized by a few species of animals, especially seabirds and insects. They are usually covered with a lot of grass, the seeds of which have been transported there, for example, by wind and water or birds but plant species
