從地理上來說, island和continent有什麼區別?他們不是都浮在水面上嗎?

主要區別在於一個island可以屬於或屬於一個國家,並且通常小於一個continent 。 continent有特定的地理邊界,比island還大。示例: New Zealand is an island. (新西蘭是一個島嶼。)示例: Australia is a continent due to its size, although it seems similar to an island since it's surrounded by water. (它看起來像一個島嶼,因為它被水包圍,但澳大利亞是一個大陸,因為它的大小。)
