| Basic: |
| An island is a type of landmass and island or island group. |

| Comment: A specialization of both LandBody and IslandRegion . Each instance of #$Island is a body of land surrounded by water. #$Islands are typically much smaller in area than (instances of the similarly-defined collection of) #$TrueContinents (q.v.), though it would be rather arbitrary to try to distinguish these types on the basis of size alone. (And note that ContinentOfAustralia is both an IslandRegion and a TrueContinent .) For groups of #$Islands that form a geographical cluster, see Archipelago. |
| Structure: |

| Every island is in some body of water. Every island is between 0 and 60,000,000 years old. Islands are capable of playing "affected object" roles in naval invasions. Every geographical region that is in some island is in some island. |
| Every delta surrounds many islands. |
