What are Riverine Islands? – Formation, Types, and Examples
A riverine island is a solid foundation and a place between two parallel rivers or in the middle of a river. It can also be formed in a large river if the river has two large streams and a small islet between them. There are more than a thousand river islands in the world. These are places with water all around, and these places have beautiful and amazing views. River islands are of course the result of river flow. As we all know, most of these islands are naturally formed and tectonic.
The place that lies between two parallel rivers or in the middle of a river is called Riverine Island. But the ground in the middle of the river must be firm and not be below the water level. Some of the islands in the river are so large that millions of people live there.
