The distinction between a barrier island and a sea island is:
◦ barrier islands are transient depositional features whereas sea islands have bedrock foundations.
◦ barrier islands are typical of secondary coasts where biological processes modify the original coastline and sea islands are more of a feature associated with primary coasts.
◦ barrier islands are erosional coastal features whereas sea islands are depositional coastal features.
◦ barrier islands are most common on the west coast of the U.S, in contrast to sea islands which are common on the west and east coast of the U.S.
◦ barrier islands are less affected by storm surge and erosion in a storm than sea islands.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
