Nounislands
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An island (pronounced /ˈaɪlənd/) or isle (/ˈaɪl/) is any piece of land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls are called islets. A key or cay is another name for a small island or islet. An island in a river or lake may be called an eyot, /ˈaɪ.ət/. There are two main types of islands: continental islands and oceanic islands. There are also artificial islands. A grouping of geographically and/or geologically related islands is called an archipelago. The word island comes from Old English igland (from 'ig', similarly meaning 'island' when used independently, and -land carrying its contemporary meaning). However, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century by association with the etymologically unrelated Old French loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.

Q. It is well-known that the sides facing the wind in the Hawaiian islands are characterized by frequent rains that are heavy (intense), but brief in duration. At the same time, it is also known that the Southern California skies sometimes experience a heavy overcast for weeks at a time.

To at least get you started, you can talk about the tradewinds (east flow) across the hawaiian islands. The orographic lift caused by the elevated islands volcanic structure... which leads to windward showers because the airmass is cooled and volume expanded...This reduces the ability of the airmass to hold water as cooler air holds less moisture than warmer air. The islands are small, and create this local effect, but they are brief as the airmass quickly reaches the peak of elevation, then descends on the leeward side of the island... drying out and contracting as it warms. As for Cali, I'm not sure how to answer completely. But it has to do with the cold water on the west coast, the higher elevation... and obviously there is no… [cont.] Answered by BaseballStud_8 - Thu Apr 24 10:06:40 2008 How many islands are there in the Caribbean?
