Imagine that you are explorer.
You come with your lab equipment on new island.
Your goal is to identify if the island have life.
You found few moving objects that you want to examine, that looks like a moving rocks, jumping rocks and flying rocks.
explain what you can do to achieve your goal in 3 sentences
An island is a body of land surrounded by water.There are six
major kinds of islands: continental (1), tidal (2), barrier (3),
oceanic (4), coral (5), and artificial (6).
continental islands formed because of changes in sea
level.continental islands are broken off the main continental
shelf, but still associated with the continent. These are called
microcontinents or continental crustal fragments.
Tidal islands (2) are a type of continental island where land
connecting the island to the mainland has not completely eroded,
but is underwater at high tide
Barrier islands (3) are narrow and lie parallel to coastlines. Some
are a part of the continental shelf (continental islands) and made
of sediment—sand, silt, and gravel. Barrier islands can also be
coral islands, made from billions of tiny coral exoskeletons.
Barrier islands are separated from shore by a lagoon or a
sound
islands (4), also known as volcanic islands, are formed by
eruptions of volcanoes on the ocean floor. No matter what their
height, oceanic islands are also known as “high islands.”
Continental and coral islands, which may be hundreds of meters
taller than high islands, are called “low islands.
Steps know find the life of island
1 first of all find the rate of moving rocks within the time island
per time. (Which helps to find how much time taken for completely
goes the rocks from the island)
2 The moving and flying rocks have the chance of collision which
also helps to find the time took to fully the get distroyed
