High island : ウィキペディア英語版
High island

In geology (and sometimes in archaeology), a high island is an island of volcanic origin. The term can be used to distinguish such islands from low islands, whose origin is due to sedimentation or uplifting of coral reefs.〔Raymond E. Murphy: (''"'High' and 'Low' Islands in the Eastern Carolines"'', Geographical Review, Vol. 39, No. 3, Jul., 1949. ) Retrieved 2011-09-22.〕
==Definition and origin==
There are a number of "high islands" which rise no more than a few feet above sea level, often classified as "islets or rocks", while some "low islands", such as Makatea, Nauru, Niue, Henderson and Banaba, as uplifted coral islands, rise several hundred feet above sea level.
The two types of islands are often found in proximity to each other, especially among the islands of the South Pacific Ocean, where low islands are found on the fringing reefs that surround most high islands. Volcanic islands normally arise above a so-called hotspot.
