slide1. Japan- The Land of the Rising Sun The Physical Geography<br>
slide2. Thinking of Visiting Japan?<br>
slide3. Japan vs Alberta With a land area of nearly 380 000 square km, Japan is about over half the size of Alberta.
Japan however has a population of 127 million people, while Alberta has a population of 4 million people.
Forested mountains and steep valleys cover about 80% of Japan. About 18% of the country is level enough to permit agriculture or settlement.
The flattest area in Japan is less than 200 km across.
The habitable areas of Japan with high population density are mainly along the coast.<br>
slide4. The Island Country Japan is an archipelago, consisting of four main islands and more than 3000 smaller islands.
Because Japan is an island country, it is geographically isolated from its nearest neighbors Korea, China, and Russia.
The 185 km of ocean between Japan and Asia is very rough, making travel difficult.
Before the 1500s, Europeans did not have the means to reach Japan by sailing either across the Pacific or around the southern tip of Africa and across the Indian Ocean.
When they did finally develop the necessary navigational technology, it still took several months and was extremely dangerous.<br>
