Quick island context
Islands form in several ways, including volcanic activity, coral growth, and the breakup of continents, which is why their shapes and landscapes can differ so much.
Some “islands” are enormous—Greenland is the world’s largest island—while Australia is classified as a continent, a distinction that often surprises learners.
