An Archipelago is that set of islands that are formed from magma residues left from volcanic eruptions that occurred in prehistoric times, when the earth was an unstable planet in formation. They cannot be called rock formations because they are a small fertile territory, only that it is segmented in the sea divided into islands and islets. Its etymological provenance is a bit more complex than it actually is. According to, it comes from the Greek "Arkhipélagos", "Arkhi" means "Above", "Pélagos" means "Sea" and it was used to call that set of islands that were in the seas between Greece and Turkey. From here this conception is taken for all the sets of islands that are united on a map.
In addition to the volcanic formations that are produced by large magma eruptions, such as the Hawaiian Islands, archipelagos can be produced by sediment and soil erosion, such as the Los Roques archipelago in Venezuela. The Falkland Islands, off the Argentine coast, are instead a series of small islands around a larger one, which means that it can also be formed by the detachment of continental surfaces.
The archipelagos that are in the tropical line of the planet are used by the countries to which they belong, as tourist destinations, this is because the beaches are exotic, small, and reduced to earthly paradises in which minerals transform water and sand in pure and crystalline elements. Larger islands like Japan, the Asian country, are giant archipelagos produced by volcanic eruptions. Japan is made up of almost 7000 islands and according to the sources of the geographical study, due to the telluric movements that constantly hit the area and the collision of the tectonic plates, small islets continue to form around the "Mother Island" on which the island is located. capital Tokyo and most of the country's inhabitants. The Los Roques archipelago in Venezuela for example,It is considered one of the most desired exotic landscapes in the world, its waters are considered the bluest, and its coral formations, worthy of admiration.
