It has a shared cultural history with two other island regions, Polynesia to the east and Melanesia to the south. The region has a tropical marine climate, and is part of the Oceania ecozone. There are four main archipelagos along with numerous outlying islands. Micronesia is divided politically among several sovereign countries. One of these is the Federated States of Micronesia, which is usually also called \"Micronesia\" for short and is not to be confused with the overall region. The Micronesia region encompasses five sovereign, independent nations the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, and Nauru as well as three U.S. territories in the northern part: Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and Wake Island. Micronesia began to be settled several millennia ago, although there are competing theories about the origin and arrival of the first settlers. The earliest known contact with Europeans occurred in 1521, when Ferdinand Magellan reached the Marianas. The coinage of the term \"Micronesia\" is usually attributed to Jules Dumont d\'Urville\'s usage in 1832, however Domeny de Rienzi had used the term a year is one of three major cultural areas in the Pacific Ocean, along with Polynesia and Melanesia. Micronesia is a region that includes approximately 2100 islands, with a total land area of 2,700km2 (1,000sqmi), the largest of which is Guam, which covers 582km2 (225sqmi). The total ocean area within the perimeter of the islands is 7,400,000km2 (2,900,000sqmi). There are four main island groups in Micronesia:the Caroline Islands (Federated States of Micronesia and Palau), the Gilbert Islands (Republic of Kiribati), the Mariana Islands (Northern Mariana Islands and Guam), the Marshall Islands, Plus the island country of Nauru.......//////...Caroline Islands...The Caroline Islands are a widely scattered archipelago consisting of about 500 small coral islands, north of New Guinea and east of the Philippines. The Carolines consist of two states: the Federated States of Micronesia, consisting of approximately 600 islands on the Eastern side of the chain with Kosrae being the most Eastern, and Palau consisting of 250 islands on the western side......//////...Gilbert Islands...The Gilbert Islands are a chain of sixteen atolls and coral islands, arranged in an approximate north-to-south line. In a geographical sense, the equator serves as the dividing line between the northern Gilbert Islands and the southern Gilbert Islands. The Republic of Kiribati contains all of the Gilberts, as well as the island of Tarawa, the site of the country\'s capital......//////...Mariana Islands...The Mariana Islands are an arc-shaped archipelago made up by the summits of fifteen volcanic mountains. The island chain arises as a result of the western edge of the Pacific Plate moving westward and plunging downward below the Mariana plate, a region which is the most volcanically active convergent plate boundary on Earth. The Marianas are divided politically into two territories of the United States: The Northern Mariana Islands, officially known as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam, located at the southern end of the island chain. Guam and the Northern Marianas are two of the five remaining U.S. Territories with a permanent population......//////...Marshall Islands...The Marshall Islands is an island country, located north of Nauru and Kiribati, east of the Federated States of Micronesia, and south of the U.S. territory of Wake Island (to which it lays claim). The country consists of 29 low-lying atolls and 5 isolated islands, comprising 1,156 individual islands and islets. The atolls and islands form two groups: the Ratak Chain and the Ralik Chain (meaning \"sunrise\" and \"sunset\" chains). All the islands in the chain are part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, a presidential republic in free association with the United States. Having few natural resources, the islands\' wealth is based on a service economy, as well as some fishing and agriculture. Of the 29 atolls, 24 of them are inhabited. Bikini Atoll is an atoll in the Marshall Islands. There are 23 islands in the Bikini Atoll. The islands of Bokonijien, Aerokojlol, and Nam were vaporized during nuclear tests that occurred there.The islands are composed of low coral limestone and sand. The average elevation is only about 2.1 metres (7ft) above low tide level......//////...Nauru...Nauru is an oval-shaped island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, 42km (26mi) south of the Equator, listed as the world\'s smallest republic, covering just 21km2 (8sqmi). With 9,378 residents, it is the second least-populated country, after Vatican City. The island is surrounded by a coral reef, which is exposed at low tide and dotted with pinnacles. The presence of the reef has prevented the establishment of a seaport, although channels in the reef allow small boats access to the island. A fertile coastal strip 150 to 300m (490 to 980ft) wide lies inland from the beach.......//////...Wake Island...Wake Island is a coral atoll with a coastline of 19km (12mi) just north of the Marshall Islands. It is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States. Access to the island is restricted, and all activities on the island are managed by the United StatesAir Force.....//////...GEOLOGY...The majority of the islands in the area are part of a coral atoll. Coral atolls begin as coral reefs that grow on the slopes of a central volcano. When the volcano sinks back down into the sea, the coral continues to grow, keeping the reef at or above water level. One exception is Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia, which still has the central volcano and coral reefs around it......//////...Climate...The region has a tropical marine climate moderated by seasonal northeast trade winds. There is little seasonal temperature variation. The dry season runs from December or January to June, and the rainy season from July to November or December. Because of the location of some islands, the rainy season can sometimes include typhoons. Micronesia began to be settled several millennia ago, although there are competing theories about the origin and arrival of the first settlers.There are numerous difficulties with conducting archaeological excavations in the islands, due to their size, settlement patterns and storm damage. As a result, much evidence is based on linguistic analysis.The earliest archaeological traces of civilization have been found on the island of Saipan, dated to 1500 BCE or slightly before. Micronesian colonists gradually settled the Marshall Islands during the 2nd millennium BC, with inter-island navigation made possible using traditional stick charts.BUY-IT-NOW PAYPAL ONLYIMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND offer ACCORDINGLY AS THE ITEMS I LIST ARE SOMETIMES OLD AND UNUSUAL AND THERE WILL BE RANDOM FLAWS OR UNKNOWN MARKS AT TIMES SO IF YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WANTS FLAWLESS ITEMS AND LIKES TO RETURN OR EXCHANGE ITEMS FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING BUYERS REMORSE THEN THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE sale FOR YOU...LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS...I TOOK PLENTY OF THEM.
