Geographically, Australia is a continent, not an island. As a landform, it could be considered an island as it is entirely surrounded by water and not joined onto any other land mass. For this reason, it is often referred to as an island continent. Australia is too big to be formally classified as an island.
oh, the link didn't work very well-if you click on the link as is, click on the first option - teal - (color). then go to the bottom of that page for the chart. 7 years ago. Anonymous. Teal is a darker color than turquoise, and has more green in it I believe. Aqua to me is like the bluest water.
Turquoise /ËtÉrkÉÉªz/ or /ËtÉrkwÉÉªz/ is the name of a greenish blue color, based on the gem of the same name. The word turquoise comes from the French for Turkish, as the gem was originally imported from Turkey. The first recorded use of turquoise as a color name in English was in 1573.
