Islands can form due to volcanic activity, where hot magma rises to the surface and solidifies to create land above water. They can also form from the accumulation of sediment and debris carried by rivers, ocean currents, or glaciers, building up over time to create land masses. Additionally, islands can be created through tectonic processes such as the shifting of tectonic plates that push land upwards or create land bridges that eventually erode into separate land masses.

Is an island is living things if not why island is growing?

No. An island is not a living thing. An island can grow by several means. If the crust beneath an island is uplifted by tectonic force it will grow. Deposition of sediments around the edges of an island can cause it to grow. Landslides that enter the sea can cause an island to expand outward. If the island is volcanic, lava flows can add new land to its edges.
