archipelago
意味: A group or chain of islands scattered across a body of water, or the sea containing such a group.
Archipelagos can be formed through volcanic activity, tectonic movements, or changes in sea level. The term originally referred specifically to the Aegean Sea and its islands. Major archipelagos include Indonesia (the world's largest), the Philippines, and Japan. In British geography, the Shetland and Orkney islands form archipelagos. The word is also used figuratively to describe any scattered group of related things.
