Island in Lake Ann, Washington An island within Lake Ann in North Cascades National Park, Washington, U.S. Islands are areas of land smaller than a continent and entirely surrounded by water. National Park ServiceIslands may be classified as either continental or oceanic. Are those that rise to the surface from the floors of the basins.
Are simply unsubmerged parts of the that are entirely surrounded by water. Many of the larger islands of the world are of the continental type. (840,000 square miles 2,175,000 square km), the largest island, is composed of the same materials as the North American continent, from which it is separated by a shallow and narrow sea. Likewise the world’s second largest island, (309,000 square miles 800,000 square km), is part of the Australian continental platform and is separated from it only by the very shallow and narrow. A slight warping of the sea bottom in the vicinity of Torres Strait would be sufficient to join New Guinea to Australia; conversely, a slight rise in may submerge a hilly and leave the hilltops remaining as small islands just offshore (such as those off the coast near Boston and the islands off the Maine coast).

The islands that rise from the floors of the ocean basins are volcanic. Lava accumulates to enormous thickness until it finally protrudes above the ocean surface. The piles of lava that form rise as high as 32,000 feet (9,700 metres) above the ocean floor. Island life exhibits features of special interest.
The sea is a barrier to some forms of life but acts as a carrier of others, which, once established in their new home, frequently develop new features in their isolated surroundings. A long-established sea barrier results in marked differences between the animal life and vegetation even of adjacent islands, and from these differences may be deduced the origin of an island. Further, any detailed map of the biological regions of the globe illustrates the importance of islands in the determination of the boundaries of animal-life and vegetational types. For example, to the west of a line ( ) running between and and between Borneo and Celebes, the islands are biologically Asian, but to the east of the line, notwithstanding the narrowness of the Lombok Strait, the vegetation and animal life are Australian. Oceanic islands are usually colonized by only a few animal forms, chiefly seabirds and insects. They are often covered with abundant vegetation, the seeds of which have been carried there, for example, by air and water currents or by birds; but the plant variety is relatively limited.
