Question: 1 / 400

Which geographic features are defined as landmasses smaller than continents and completely surrounded by water?

Lakes

Peninsula

Mountains

Islands

Islands are defined as landmasses that are entirely surrounded by water and are smaller than continents. They can vary significantly in size, from large areas like Greenland to much smaller landforms. Unlike continents, which are the largest landmasses on Earth, islands can exist in oceans, seas, and other bodies of water, creating unique ecosystems and habitats.

Lakes, on the other hand, are bodies of freshwater or saltwater that are typically surrounded by land, thus not fitting the description of being surrounded by water as landmasses. Peninsulas are also land features, but they protrude into water and are connected to the mainland, meaning they do not satisfy the definition of being fully surrounded by water. Mountains are elevated landforms and do not qualify as landmasses surrounded by water.
