The manner in which Islands are and have been formed are as diverse and unique in many cases as the Islands themselves. As per the catagorisation of this question however, the Cayman Islands were formed by convergent tectonic plate movement. Geographically speaking they sit on the egde of the Cayman Trench. It is a trench hundreds of miles deep that runs between the Cayman Islands and Cuba. Further eleaboration would require a more specific focus as some Islands are formed due to volcanic activity, some are man made...etc.
It is unkown how they formed, although it is believed that they formed from an underwater volcano eruption.
The Aleutian Islands form the longest archipelago in the U.S. state of Alaska. This chain of islands extends about 1,200 miles (1,900 km) from the Alaska Peninsula to the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia.
The Aleutians Islands form part of Alaska.

The Cayman Islands are a group of Islands in the Caribbean Sea, close to Jamaica. They are a British Overseas Territory. In February, 1794 a convoy of ships sailing from Jamaica to Britain was wrecked off the East End of the largest island, Grand Cayman. Because of prompt action by local Cayman residents no lives were lost. This is known as "The Wreck of the Ten Sails." There has grown up a legend that because a member of the British Royal Family was on board one of the ships, King George III decreed that no Cayman Islander would be conscripted for military service and the British Parliament decreed that no Cayman Islander would pay taxes. There is no evidence that either of these is true. Taxation in the Cayman Islands is all in the form of indirect taxes - levies on imports and goods sold in shops - rather than direct taxes such as Income Tax levied on Individuals as part of their income. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- yes its true
