Volcanic islands are formed by volcanoes and are therefore composed of volcanic rock.
Yes, Antigua is not a volcanic island. It is a low-lying island formed mainly from limestone and coral reefs. There are no active volcanoes on the island.
Hawaii is a volcanic island, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. It is part of a volcanic island chain in the Pacific Ocean.
The island in Crater, called Wizard Island was formed by small volcanic eruptions that occurred after the Crater Lake caldera formed but before the volcano went extinct.
Yes, Hispaniola island was formed by volcanic activity in the past, but it is not currently an active volcanic area. The island is located in the Caribbean and is shared by the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
A newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called a volcanic island arc. These volcanic islands are typically formed due to the convergence of tectonic plates where one plate subducts beneath another, leading to magma rising to the surface and creating a chain of volcanic islands.
