Le isole del mondo, scopriamole insieme

Le isole sono luoghi magici dove gli occhi dell'uomo possono sempre vedere il cielo e toccare il mare. Scopri la lista completa delle isole del mondo.
Il romanziere inglese P. D. James (1920-2014) ha scritto una volta che "ogni isola per un bambino è un'isola del tesoro". Le isole sono sinonimo di avventura, scoperta, natura, vacanze e tutto il resto.

Tuttavia, la vita insulare non è per tutti, e anche per coloro che sono nati in territori circondati dall'acqua, può essere difficile far fronte alla libertà limitata. Ed è allora che la febbre dell'isola colpisce duro.

Tipi di isole
Ci sono due tipi di isole - isole oceaniche e continentali - e anche isole artificiali create dall'intervento umano.

Le isole continentali sono terre emerse che si trovano sulla piattaforma continentale di un continente.
Gran Bretagna, Groenlandia, Tasmania, Taiwan e Barbados sono alcuni esempi.

Le isole oceaniche sono isole che non si trovano sulle piattaforme continentali. La maggior parte sono vulcaniche, come le Hawaii, e solo alcune sono di origine tettonica, come Macquarie Island.

Quante isole ci sono nel mondo?
La verità è che non esiste un conteggio ufficiale perché non esiste una definizione standard della dimensione minima di un'isola.

Ci sono grandi isole, piccole isole, minuscoli isolotti, atolli abitati, ecc. - una piccola roccia in piedi sopra la superficie dell'acqua potrebbe rientrare nella categorizzazione dell'isola.

A seconda dei criteri, il numero di isole del mondo varia da 1.000 a 1.000.000. E si può anche pensare a quattro masse continentali circondate dall'acqua - Afro-Eurasia, Americhe, Antartide e Australia - come isole a sé stanti.

Il processo di mappatura delle isole del mondo è comunque un lavoro in corso.
