List of divided islands

List of divided islands is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand List of divided islands rather than just read about it. In short: This is a list of islands whose territory is shared among two or more sovereign countries and delineated by one or more international borders. This list includes territorial disputes where islands are de facto divided or where at least one party's territorial claims include division of an island.

Key takeaways

List of divided islands belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect List of divided islands to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of List of divided islands from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Sea islands

Lake islands Among Finland, Norway, and Sweden: Three-Country Cairn, the boundary cairn at the tripoint, is 10 metres from the shore of Lake Goldajärvi/Koltajauri, and hence arguably a tiny artificial island. Around 14 m2. The lower limit for artificial islands is a matter of definition, because near Haparanda there are boundary poles of less than 0.1 m2. Between Canada and the United States: A lake island at 62.649677°N 141°W / 62.649677; -141, north of the Yukon–Alaska Highway border crossing A lake island at 62.641158°N 141°W / 62.641158; -141, north of the Yukon–Alaska Highway border crossing A lake island at 62.637174°N 141°W / 62.637174; -141, just north of the Yukon–Alaska Highway border crossing Two islands in a small lake at 62.538443°N 141°W / 62.538443; -141, 8.2 km south of the Yukon–Alaska Highway border crossing Several rocky islets in a small lake on the Okanogan County, Washington/British Columbia border at 49°N 120.177376°W / 49; -120.177376 An island in a small lake on the Okanogan County, Washington/British Columbia border at 49°N 120.172980°W / 49; -120.172980 An island in a small lake adjacent to the Milk River at 49°N 110.546975°W / 49; -110.546975 in Montana/Alberta An island in Salt Lake (Alkali Lake) 49°N 104.311173°W / 49; -104.311173 in Montana/Saskatchewan An island in Brush Lake at 49°N 103.981638°W / 49; -103.981638 in North Dakota/Saskatchewan Two islands in Boundary Lake at 49°N 100.217095°W / 49; -100.217095, in North Dakota/Manitoba An island in Lake Metigoshe at 49°N 100.353901°W / 49; -100.353901 in North Dakota/Manitoba An islet east of Ross Lake at 49°N 100.298939°W / 49; -100.298939 in North Dakota/Manitoba An island in a small lake on the Rolette County, North Dakota/Manitoba border at 49°N 100.013149°W / 49; -100.013149 An island in a small lake on the Towner County, North Dakota/Manitoba border at 49°N 99.218163°W / 49; -99.218163 An island in a small lake on the Cavalier County, North Dakota/Manitoba border at 49°N 98.541357°W / 49; -98.541357 Pine and Curry Island in Lake of the Woods on the Minnesota/Ontario border at 48.876967°N 94.683964°W / 48.876967; -94.683964 Seaway Island in Lake St. Clair on the Michigan/Ontario border at 42.523639°N 82.677582°W / 42.523639; -82.677582 An island in a small lake on the border of Maine/New Brunswick at 46.004988°N 67.7810°W / 46.004988; -67.7810, southeast of Hodgdon, Maine Province Island in Lake Memphremagog, between Quebec (91%) and Vermont (9%) Between Norway and Russia: In Klistervatn: Store Grenenholmen In Grensevatn: Korkeasaari and an unnamed islet Between Finland and Russia: Äikkäänniemi in Nuijamaanjärvi Suursaari and a smaller island in Ylä-Tyrjä Tarraassiinsaari, Härkäsaari, and Kiteensaari in Melaselänjärvi Island in Virmajärvi Rajasaari in Kokkojärvi Kalmasaari in Vuokkijärvi Varposaari in Hietajärvi Parvajärvensaari in Parvajärvi Keuhkosaari in Pukarijärvi / Ozero Pyukharin Siiheojansuusaari and Tossensaari in Onkamojärvi / Ozero Onkamo Between Finland and Norway: Island in Kivisarijärvi/Keđgisualuijävri Island in lake SE of boundary marker 347A Between Sweden and Norway: Island in Sör Vammsjön/Vammen Søndre (≈2000 m2) Hisön/Hisøya in Norra Kornsjön/Nordre Kornsjø (≈0,09 km2) Kulleholmen/Kalholmen (≈5500 m2) and Tagholm/Tåkeholmen (≈600 m2) in Södra Boksjön/Søndre Boksjø Salholmen (≈4000 m2), Mosvikøya (≈0.17 km2) and Trollön/Trolløya (≈0.18 km2) in Stora Le/Store Le Tannsjöröset (≈50 m2) in Tannsjøen/Tannsjön Linneholmene (≈2000 m2) in Helgesjøen/Helgesjön Jensøya in Holmsjøen (≈0,04 km2) Storøya in Utgardsjøen (≈0,04 km2) Fallsjøholmen in Fallsjøen (Nordre Røgden) (≈4000 m2) Island in Kroksjøen Island in Vonsjøen (≈9000 m2) Island in Skurdalssjøen/Kruehkiejaevrie Island in a lake at altitude 710m on the Gihcijoka/Gihtsejåhkå river Three islands in Čoarvejávri Between Belarus and Latvia: Unnamed island in Lake Rychy Between Lithuania and Belarus: Sosnovec and another nameless island in Lake Drūkšiai Between the United Kingdom and Ireland: Pollatawny in Lough Vearty.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of divided islands

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of divided islands claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of divided islands before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of divided islands ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of divided islands

In research: List of divided islands appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of divided islands in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of divided islands is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Border-related lists, International islands, Lists of islands, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of divided islands outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
