Do they though? At what point does an "island" become a continental land mass? Not by any means something I have any expertise on but surely taking your point to its logical conclusion, if the entire planet was a solid land mass apart from one big lake would it be an island? I know better than to rely on Wiki with any certainty but it says: Quote There is a widely accepted difference between islands and continents in terms of geology.[6] Continents are often considered to be the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for Australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the Australian Plate).[7] By contrast, islands are usually seen as being extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g. volcanic islands), or as belonging to a continental plate containing a larger landmass (continental islands); the latter is the case of Greenland, which sits on the North American Plate.[8] Hence why Greenland is generally accepted as being the largest island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
