大陆碎片(英语:continental fragment),与微大陆(英语:microcontinent)同义[1]。是从主要大陆块分裂出来形成不同岛屿的大陆片断,通常距其起源地数百公里[2]。大陆碎片包括一些海山和水下高原。

一些微大陆是冈瓦纳或其他古代克拉通大陆的碎片;一些例子包括马达加斯加及北部的马斯卡林高原(Mascarene Plateau),包括塞舌尔(Seychelles)微大陆;和帝汶岛[2]。其他岛屿,例如加勒比海的几个岛屿,也主要由花岗岩组成。在这种定义下岛屿和微大陆之间没有明确的分界线。凯尔盖朗高原(Kerguelen Plateau)是一个由火山热点形成的大型火成岩区域;然而,它与冈瓦纳大陆的解体有关,并且有一段时间在水面之上,因此它被认为是一个微大陆,尽管不是大陆碎片[3][4]

冰岛夏威夷等其他热点岛屿既不被视为微大陆,也不被视为大陆碎片。并非所有岛屿都可以被视为微大陆:例如,不列颠群岛斯里兰卡婆罗洲和纽芬兰都位于相邻大陆的大陆架内,被内陆海淹没其边缘与大陆隔开[5]

But, using Scrutton's definition, "microcontinent" is a narrower term, excluding aseismic ridges of continental material, such as the Lomonosov Ridge and the Jan Mayen Ridge, which could still be considered "continental fragments"
