Islands - Inseln

Islands are landforms surrounded by water on all sides. They vary greatly in size, from large landmasses like Greenland to small islets. Islands can be found in oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes. They often host unique ecosystems due to their isolation.

Characteristics of Islands - Merkmale von Inseln

Islands are categorized into two main types: continental islands and oceanic islands. Continental islands are located on continental shelves and were once connected to a continent. Oceanic islands are usually of volcanic origin and are not connected to continental shelves.

Flora and Fauna on Islands - Flora und Fauna auf Inseln

Due to their isolation, islands often develop unique species of plants and animals. The Galápagos Islands, for example, are famous for their unique wildlife, which inspired Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection.

Islands are defined as any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys. An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm. A grouping of geographically or geologically related islands is called an . This term is also used for other groups of islands, such as an atoll surrounded by a coral reef. In geological terms, an island can be formed by the accumulation of sediment deposited on an extinct volcanic island.
