Greater Antilles
The islands of the
Caribbean Sea
, collectively known as the
West Indies
are sorted by size and location into the
Bahamas
(or
Lucayan archipelago
), the
Lesser Antilles
and the Greater Antilles. The Greater Antilles are
Cuba
,
Jamaica
,
Hispaniola
(composed of
Haiti
on the west side and the
Dominican Republic
on the east side) and
Puerto Rico
. The smaller islands in the vicinity of these four major islands are sometimes also treated as part of the group. The Greater Antilles are made up of
continental
rock, distinct from the
Lesser Antilles
, which are mostly young
volcanic
or
coral
islands.
