There is no actual "Guano Island". There is a Guano Island Act, which is a federal legislation passed by the US Congress on 18 August 1856. It enables US citizens to take possession of islands containing guano deposits. Guano is the droppings of bats, seabirds, and seals. It is a highly prized fertilizer.
Guano islands are formed through the accumulation of bird droppings (guano) over a long period of time. As birds roost and nest on remote islands, their droppings build up over centuries, creating thick layers of nutrient-rich guano. The high nutrient content in guano makes it a valuable fertilizer for agriculture.
physical features are features in which you can observe by your eyes.
the physical and human features of the west? hmm........ i would say the physical and human features are mountains, valleys, plateaus, canyons, and basins
Yes, boundaries can be formed by both land and water. Land boundaries are typically defined by physical features such as mountains, rivers, or roads. Water boundaries can be natural features like rivers or lakes, or man-made features like canals or artificial islands.

The production decline in guano islands was due to overharvesting of the guano, which led to depletion of the resource. Additionally, competition from synthetic fertilizers made from ammonia contributed to the decline in demand for guano. Regulations to protect seabird populations also limited harvesting on some islands.

No one discovered the Act, in the early 19th century guano became a prized fertilizer. In 1855 the US learned of rich deposits on the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Congress passed the Guano Islands Act in order to take advantage of the deposits.
