How are continental islands different from continental islands?
The islands in each group are formed in different ways and are made up of different materials. Continental islands have a variety of physical features, while high and low islands are fairly uniform in their physical geography. Continental islands were once attached to continents before sea level changes and tectonic activity isolated them.
