Geography

The west of Japan is surrounded by the Sea of Japan which is also called the East Sea, which separates the South and North Korea eastern shores. And as well separated from Russia all the way to the northeast, not only surrounded by the east sea it is also surrounded by the Pacific Ocean toward the south (Britannica, 2020). Japan is known as the world’s most geologically unstable area, experiencing more than 1,000 tremors annually which consist of minor to major quakes. As well they have volcanic eruptions frequently which historically they have had around 60 violent eruptions. Hokkaido (Hondo), Northeastern (Tohoku), Central (Chibu), and Southwestern and Ryukyu and Bonin archipelagoes are the four regions in Japan that correspond with Japan’s major psychographics. The four regions are mountains that each show a different environment in Japan’s regions
