What are Continental Islands?

Some islands were formed when parts of continents were cut off from the main land by the sea. These islands which lie near the continents are called Continental Islands. Did you know that Great Britain and Ireland were once part of mainland Europe? Later, when the sea level rose the rising waters first cut off Ireland from Great Britain. Later, Great Britain was cut off from Europe. So Great Britain and Ireland are good examples of Continental Islands.
