Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Japan is situated in a volcanic zone on the Pacific Ring of Fire at the juncture of the Philippine Plate, Pacific Plate, Eurasian Plate, and North American Plate. |
 | | Japan is a temperate region with, more or less, four seasons (some believe the rainy season should be a fifth season), but because of its great length from north to south, its climate varies from region to region: the far north is very cold in the winter, while the far south is subtropical. |
 | | Japan maintains one of the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for nearly 15% of the global catch, prompting some claims that Japan's fishing is leading to over depletion in fish stocks such as tuna. |
