Great Britain was never renamed the United Kingdom. They are not the same thing. This is a common confusion. The United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales and Northen Ireland. Great Britain is the island that contains England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland, which is separate.
Great Britain, or United Kingdom is not a country, it is a nation that is made up of England, Northern Ireland, and Wales No Britain is not a country on this island the 3 Country's are Wales, Scotland & England in the United Kingdom
Bermuda is an oversea colony of the United Kingdom. The island of Bermuda is a colony of Great Britain.
The parliaments of England and Scotland were merged in 1707 to form the United Kingdom. When Ireland was included in 1801, it became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until 1922 when the island of Ireland (except for six counties in the northeast of the island) became an independent country again.
oceanic
The oceanic crust consists of heavier rock, mostly Basalt, so that if a oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the oceanic plate will be forced down below the continental plate, forming island arcs.continental plates are thicker than oceanic plates.

The island of Britain is the longest in the United Kingdom.
The continental islands, Oceanic islands, and the Atolls.

The United Kingdom is not an island nation. The United Kingdom consists of the island of Britain and Northern Ireland, which is part of the island of Ireland. The United Kingdom does have a lot of sea ports and so that is a major element of its trade.
Of course it's continental crust! If it were made of oceanic crust, it would be underwater or some large island starting at the bottom of the ocean floor!
Island nations are not located on a continental landmass, and therefore are not located on peninsulas. An island nation may contain peninsulas, but, depending on the size of the island it's located on, are usually small. For example, a peninsula on the European island nation of the United Kingdom is Cornwall.
There are three types of convergent boundaries: oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. An example of continental-continental is the San Andreas Fault in California. An example of oceanic-continental is the Peru-Chile Trench. An example of oceanic-oceanic is almost anywhere in the ocean. Because the tectonic plates are continuously moving, although they may be moving slowly, new boundaries are formed often. Thus, oceanic-oceanic boundaries are constantly forming. A specific example would be in the western Pacific Ocean. There is a tangle of arcs in the Indian Ocean; there's also the Caribbean and South Sandwich Island arcs.
Aleutians: Two oceanic plates Appalachians: Two continental plates Andes: One continental plate, one oceanic plate Nore American Cordillera: One island plateau, one continental plate :D
It is the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
