Because its surrounded by water
Earth can be compared to an island because it is a finite and isolated system in the vastness of space. Just like islands, Earth has limited resources and ecosystems that need to be carefully managed to sustain life. In both cases, understanding and protecting the unique environment is essential for the survival of the inhabitants.
No. The Moon is a separate object from Earth. However, Earth and the moon are sometimes regarded as a single Earth-moon system.
The moon is considered Earth's satellite because it orbits around the Earth as it travels through space. It doesn't emit light of its own but reflects the light from the sun, making it visible to us at night. Its gravitational pull also affects the tides on Earth.

Yes, it is. Everywhere on earth is affected by sea level rise especially low lying countries, coastal areas, and some islands. Newfoundland is vulnerable to sea level rise because its a coastal area and it is actually sinking in the ocean but very slowly according to some coastline erosion experts. The island of Newfoundland is sinking at a rate of 3.5 mm a year. The southern part is sinking faster then the northern part. To show proof that Newfoundland is really sinking, a coastline erosion expert finds preserved and dead tree stumps in calmer waters to determine how far and when the water has moved. The trees which sat in the water were all dead because of the ocean's salt water which killed their roots. The trees were found at some southern beaches on the south part of the island in the water.
