Stoneiland

Stoneiland 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 Stoneiland rather than just read about it. In short: Stoneiland (also Ston Island) is a peninsula, holiday resort and beach in the Brokopondo District in Suriname. History On 1 February 1964, the Afobaka Dam was built to provide hydro-electricity.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Stoneiland (also Ston Island) is a peninsula, holiday resort and beach in the Brokopondo District in Suriname.

History On 1 February 1964, the Afobaka Dam was built to provide hydro-electricity. This resulted in the creation of the Brokopondo Reservoir. Stoneiland was not flooded, but became a peninsula with a beach. In 2006, a former gold miner built a holiday resort near the beach. The island is located at the foot of the Brownsberg, and can be accessed from Brownsweg. The view from the beach is unexpected, because the remains of the rain forest can still be seen on the lake. On the island there is a little wharf for tours on the lake.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Stoneiland

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Stoneiland 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 Stoneiland 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 Stoneiland 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 Stoneiland

In research: Stoneiland 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 Stoneiland 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: Stoneiland is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Beaches of Suriname, Brokopondo District, Island stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Stoneiland 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.
