Separation took millions of years and occurred in one of 2 ways How Continental Islands were formedĬontinental islands were once connected to a continent and were separated from the continent. Let’s explore each island formation type in more detail. The Caribbean Islands are either a Continental, Tectonic, Volcanic or Coral formation type. Within this system, there are five types, including: Scientists have established a classification system based on the way the island was formed. Most islands in each island group were formed in the same way while smaller islands within the group may have been formed differently or by more than one island formation process How Exactly Were The Caribbean Islands Formed? The Caribbean Islands cover an area of 90,000 square miles and consist of three main island groups including The Bahamas, The Greater Antilles and The Lesser Antilles. Several of the smaller islands are a result of coral buildup peeking through the ocean’s surface. The largest group of the Caribbean Islands were formed by volcanoes erupting from the ocean floor while many other islands broke off the North American continent millions of years ago. We know the Caribbean islands didn’t pop out of nowhere so where did they come from? As an avid traveler of the Caribbean region I’ve often wondered the same thing, so, I set out on an amazing investigative journey to find out how the Caribbean islands were formed and I’d like to share my findings with you.
