Islands are very much like miniature continents. They are both surrounded by water, they have qualities that make them unique, and each has its own type of life forms living there.
Australia and Antarctica are the two continents that are similar to islands.
because the islands aren't part of the continents, so they were never connected to any of the continents, which have similar species because of Pangaea
Continents, Islands
continents: africa, antartica, and europe islands: united kindom
lithosphere Islands and continents are usually found in areas that have been surrounded by a large mass of water.
MANY of them. Seven continents, several islands almost large enough to be continents, and many thousands of smaller islands.
Both Australia and Antarctica are island continents. They are classified as continents, but they are completely surrounded by water.
Islands and continents are all parts of the Earth's crust or lithosphere, which is the solid outer layer of the planet. They are both landmasses, with islands being surrounded by water and continents being larger and connected to other landmasses.
An ocean surrounds continents and islands! :D
The Earth (land).
No. Continents
No, not all islands in the world are part of the seven continents. Islands can be found in oceans and seas, and do not necessarily belong to any specific continent. Some islands are located near continents, while others are located far away from any major landmass.
