Detailed Solution

Barren island is the active volcano found in Andaman and Nicobar islands. India has only a single active volcano situated in the Barren Islands of Andaman and Nicobar group of islands. It is also the single active volcano of the chain of volcanoes extending from Sumatra to Myanmar. The volcano is still burning and ready for eruption, the most recent recorded eruption being in 2020. The eruptions are harmful to the flora and fauna of the island, leading to a great decline in the population of bird species. The world’s biggest riverine island, Majuli, is on the Brahmaputra river. Venadu island in Andhra Pradesh is a remote island attracting monsoon migratory birds. Kutch was an island in the past, which still could turn into an island again soon.
