Compare and contrast the topography and climate of Japan and Taiwan
What will be an ideal response?
Japan is roughly the size of California, and made up of four islands that receive ample supplies of water (around 60 inches of rainfall per year in many parts of the country). Northern Japan faces cold, snowy winters, with milder temperatures toward the south. Japan's heavily wooded mountains cover about 85% of the land area, with about 15% coastal plains. Taiwan is a single island, about the size of Maryland. Its central and eastern regions are mountainous, while the west is dominated by an alluvial plain. Taiwan lies on the Tropic of Cancer, and has a much milder climate than Japan.
