Answer 2

Japan's territory is formed by four main islands known as Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and by hundreds of small islands. Almost 80% of Japan's geography was formed because of the constant movement and friction of three tectonic plates. Thus, Japan has plenty of volcanoes and earthquakes and it's geography is too mountainous to farm, so people settled in river valleys and along the coast. A good example is the city of Tokyo, which is located in the Kanto Plain and nowadays is the capital of the country with a population of at least at least 14 million people.
