River/riverine island is a landmass formed within a river. They're often formed by the changing course of a river, especially if the river meanders. World's largest river island is Majuli, in the Brahmaputra river in Assam. Majuli is subject to erosion by the Brahmaputra — which means a shrinking Majuli.
A riverine island is a specific type of river island. The major difference between a river island and a riverine island is that riverine means relating to or resembling a river such as the many islands formed in Bangladesh near the mouth of the Brahmaputra.
