Sandbar
Barrier islands form a narrow strip of land parallel to the coast and separated from the mainland by a lagoon or bay. They serve as a protective barrier against ocean waves, storms, and erosion for the mainland.

If it is a single island, it is simply known as a volcanic island! If however it is a chain or string of separate islands then it may be a volcanic island arc (these form parallel to trenches at subduction zones) or a volcanic island chain (these form where a mantle plume creates a hotspot and may be in the centre of a tectonic plate. A good example would be the Hawaiian island chain). They can also form a cluster of islands (an archipelago) such as the Canary Islands (again formed by hotspot volcanism) in the Atlantic of the coast of Morocco.
An elongated strip of sand is called a sandbar or a spit. Sandbars typically form offshore parallel to the coast, while spits are landforms that extend into open water from a shore.
A barrier beach is a long and narrow sandy landform that runs parallel to the mainland and protects the coast from erosion by absorbing wave energy. A bar, on the other hand, is a submerged or partially exposed ridge of sand, gravel, or other sediments deposited offshore. Bars can form near a shoreline or in a body of water like a river or bay.
Barrier islands are long, narrow islands that form parallel to the mainland coast and act as a protective barrier against ocean waves and storms. Examples include the Outer Banks in North Carolina or Padre Island in Texas.

Barrier islands are long, narrow, and low-lying islands that run parallel to the mainland coast. They are typically separated from the mainland by a lagoon or salt marsh. They form through a combination of processes such as sediment deposition by coastal currents, waves, and tides.
Barrier islands mainly form as a result of wave and tidal action, which transport sediments along the coast and deposit them into long, narrow strips parallel to the shore. These islands act as natural buffers, protecting the mainland from erosion and storm damage.
because they can't form near the coast because of the different plates
Barrier reefs form parallel to the shoreline but are separated by a lagoon.

Yes. Currently a volcano named Loihi is building up off the coast of the big island. In a few hundred thousand years it will reach the ocean surface and form a new island.

Two terminal moraines, the Harbor Hill and Ronkonkoma, are ridges of rubble deposited by the melting glacial front. The Outwash Plains define the Long Island landscape between the two great moraines. Barrier islands ring the southern coast of Long Island.
The noun Disko is a proper noun, the name of an island on the west coast of Greenland. There is only one island by this name so there is no plural form.
