The worksheet emphasizes how islands are formed and how they differ from one another. Each description gives clues about geography, plate activity, or ecosystems. This activity blends earth science with cultural and physical geography.

Classification tasks help students understand categories and geologic processes. The worksheet improves analytical thinking as students read clues and apply island types correctly. It strengthens knowledge of tectonic forces, coral formations, and mountainous islands. Students also build skills in comparing physical features across regions.
