Some islands may not be habitable due to factors like extreme weather conditions, lack of fresh water sources, limited natural resources, or vulnerability to natural disasters like hurricanes or tsunamis.

High islands are likely to have better farmland than low islands due to their richer soil, better drainage, and higher elevation which reduces the risk of flooding. Low islands tend to have poor quality soil, limited area for agriculture, and are at higher risk of saltwater intrusion and flooding.
