An island is a body of land that is completely surrounded by water on all sides. There are four different kinds of islands: Continental Sedimentary Volcanic Coral

A continental island is formed when land comes apart from a continent. Greenland is an example of a Continental Island. Insert a picture of Greenland

Sedimentary islands are formed when sediment (dirt) builds up over time on a surface. The Outer Banks of North Carolina are an example of Sedimentary Islands. Insert a picture of a sedimentary island

Volcanic Islands are formed from lava that builds up in the ocean. The Hawaiian Islands are an example of Volcanic Islands. Insert a picture of volcanic island
