Islands are a general term for land masses of varying sizes that are above the water surface in the ocean. In meaning, a yurt is a smaller ocean land mass than an island. There is no specific boundary yet on how to divide islands and islets. In the world, only some provinces in southern my country, especially Taiwan Province, often use "island" to name small islands, such as: Lanyu, Luyu, Huayu, Dongbaoyu, Xijiyu, Lantau, Mianhuayu, Huapingyu, etc. Islands around Taiwan.
In addition, islands are rarely named after Yu in other places. For some islands, its area is larger than the area of some famous small islands off the coast of my country. Such as Liugong Island in Shandong and Weizhou Island in Guangxi. The area of these small islands is much smaller than that of Orchid Island, but they are called islands, not islets. Usually people often connect islands and islets to refer to land in various sizes of oceans. People also often refer to them as reefs and beaches. Those that are exposed above the water are called islands and reefs, and those that are hidden under the water are called reefs. Reefs are dangerous obstacles for ships. If a ship sails in the ocean and hits a reef, it will cause a shipwreck disaster.
