No. An island is just a smaller form of a larger mass of land such as a continent.
Islands do not float. Islands are the result of mounains or hills that go above thse surface of the water, which sit on the ocean floor.
Koa is an endemic tree native to the hawaiian islands. It does float
The 'Float' Waikiki Honolulu Hawaiian Islands - 1907 was released on: USA: February 1907
no one islands dont float...
the reason why they have barrier islands so that way the mainlands won't float away in the ocean and never to be found again... Because that would be pretty bad if that happend we would have to say byby to all of those poor people as they float away that and coosbay and northbend is on a main land<3 =)
Islands are not floating freely on the surface of the water. They are locations where the solid surface of the earth are elevated above sea level. Imagine a hilly field slowly filling with water. You will reach a point where the tops of some of the hills become isolated from one another with water all around.

The islands do not float, and cannot sink. Think of the islands as being REALLY tall mountains- that start on the sea floor and go up from there. Part of the mountain is above water.
Atolls don't float to start with. There is land, the remnants of former volcanic islands, beneath them. The lagoon in the centre is not connected to the sea.
The question is an error. It should be what is a Micronesian Outrigger? A type of canoe used in many Pacific islands with sail and a steadying float out to one side, which is the outrigger.

it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
