1. rock island

   A rock island is a small area of land that is surrounded by water, distinguished by its predominantly rocky terrain. Unlike typical islands with a mix of sandy beaches and flora, rock islands consist primarily of rocks or reefs, often without human habitation due to the restrictive terrain. They are typically formed by volcanic activities or weathering of larger landmasses over time.
