Northern Ireland has never been part of Britain. Britain is an island which consists of England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is on the neighbouring island of Ireland. What you are confusing is the United Kingdom, which consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland came into existence after 1921 and since then it has been a part of the United Kingdom.
Ireland is not in England, The island of Ireland is located west to the island of Great Britain (which is made up of England, Wales and Scotland). The Island of Ireland is separated into two countries the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom (which is Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales)

Since the Irish Republic (the southern part of Ireland) was established in 1923 (?) and thus Northern Ireland was established as a part of the United Kingdom.
About 400 years. If you mean King of the United Kingdom, which includes England , Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland, the present queen's father, King George VI, died in 1952

There is no river of that name in Northern Ireland. The Amazon is in South America. The longest river in Northern Ireland is the Bann, which is about 80 miles or 129 kilometres long.
No, there are no volcanoes in Ireland now. But at one time, a long time ago, there must have been because the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland was formed by a volcano.
The United Kingdom came into being in 1707 with the melding of the kingdoms of Scotland and England (Wales was part of the Kingdom of England at this time). Ireland was annexed in 1801, but gained independence and became the Republic of Ireland in the 1920s. Northern Ireland stayed part of the United Kingdom. Thus, the modern United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) has been around for about 90 years. The United Kingdom itself has been around (in some form or another) 304 years. If you mean how long the separate countries like England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland have been around, the answer is a few thousand years. There aren't any definite years of country-hood (unlike the United States) because England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are so old, plus it depends on when you start counting. :)

As Northern Ireland is still part of the UK; the same rules will apply.

BRITAIN is an island, on which are found England, Scotland and Wales. Round its coasts are a number of other islands - the Isle of Wight, the Scottish Isles and so on - and this collection of islands is GREAT BRITAIN. Ireland is a separate land mass. Until Irish independence, the British monarchs ruled over the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. When Ireland finally managed to break away, six counties in the North remained loyal to the United Kingdom, which then became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. There is another anomaly, the Channel Islands, which are closer to France than to England, and constitute all that remains for the Duchy of Normandy: they are ruled by the Crown, but not part of either the UK or of Great Britain.
