Answer:
The statement is true
Explanation:
A large group of islands which are scattered closely in the body of water is called archipelago. The water body is usually oceans but it can be river and lakes. Volcano eruption is one of the main causes of making most of the island in an archipelago and these islands are called oceanic islands.
One of the example of archipelago is Finland’s Archipelago Sea which has more than 50,000 islands although many of them are so small that they do not measure even one acre. Therefore the statement is true.
