The geography of [[The Oan Isles]] refers to the physical description of the land, sea and air of theits territory and the effects of the interaction of those forces. In this article, the Oan Isles refers to the home islands as well as the Kohatu Isles unless explicitly stated.
== Physical geography ==
===Location===
The Oan Isles consists of the Home Islands and the Kohatu Isles. The Kohatu Isles are surrounded by the Caven Sea to the north and the Morstaybishlian Sea to the south. They are bordered by Peregrinia to the north, East Gemica (a Peregrinia territory) to the east, and JustelvardJusdelva (a constituent country of Great Morstaybishlia). The Home Islands are surrounded by the Polynesian Sea to the west, the Pacific[[Cerenerian Ocean]] to the east and the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]] to the south and southwest. The Home Islands lie between 140°E and 158°E, and from the Aequator to 16°S. The Kohatu Isles lie between 109°E and 117°E, and from 7°S to 9°S. Geologists have long debated the continental shelf on which the Home Islands and Kohatu Isles. Although the Kohatu Isles and Home Isles share cultural, political, historic, religious and economic links with Aurora, they are technically part of Yasteria Major. They lie incredibly close to the tectonic boundary between the Aurora and Yasteria Major tectonic shelfs. Geologists believe that these islands will shift to the Auroran continental shelf entirely in several million years.
