volcanic islands have black sand beaches, have sulfur springs and have fertile soil, but limestone islands have white sand beaches, have little or no sulfur springs, and the soil is not as fertile as volcanic islands.
Puerto Rico was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions. Much of the island of Puerto Rico is covered by limestone.

Lake titi caca ^For whoever put that, Lake Titicaca is in South America. Right between Peru and Bolivia, though mostly in Peru. The two types of islands that make up the Caribbean are Coral and Volcanic.

volcanic rock
It is a limestone cap on the tip of a volcanic Seamount (underwater mountain).
Yes, Antigua is not a volcanic island. It is a low-lying island formed mainly from limestone and coral reefs. There are no active volcanoes on the island.
Volcanic islands have black sand beaches whilst Limestone (coral) islands have white sand beaches.Volcanic islands have fertile soil and in Limestone islands' is not as fertile as Volcanic islands.Volcanic islands tend to be tall whilst Limestone tend to be flat.Volcanic islands have many sulphur springs whilst Limestone islands have little or no sulpher springs.Limestone islands are formed from 'Secretions'of the sea and Volcanic islands are formed from igneous rock and lava.THANK YOUHOPE YOU LEARNED FROM IT!
The Caribbean island made up of lava, quartz diorite, and limestone is Saba. Saba is a volcanic island formed by the eruption of an underwater volcano and its terrain consists of a mix of these rock types.
Volcanic arcs form at plate subduction zones. Island arcs are volcanic islands that form over "hot spots" in the Earth's mantle. Because the islands are moving with the oceanic plate, they eventually are removed from the hot spot, forming a chain of islands in the direction of the plate movement.
island that are made up of limestone
A seamount is a submerged mountain rising from the ocean floor, while a volcanic island is a mountain formed above sea level by volcanic activity. Seamounts may not breach the surface, while volcanic islands are visible and can support terrestrial life.
The volcanic island between Greenland and Europe is Iceland. It is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, known for its geothermal activity and stunning landscapes. It is home to glaciers, hot springs, geysers, and volcanic peaks.
Puerto Rico was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions. Much of the island of Puerto Rico is covered by limestone.

limestone island is for by the accumulation of dead sea creatures
Volcanic islands are formed of igneous rock and lava. They tend to be tall, and have steep slopes. Coral islands are calcium carbonate (chemically the same as limestone) and are formed from the secretions of sea coral- an animal. They tend to be low to the water, and relatively flat.
