Japan: An Island of Earthquakes and Volcanoes
There is a reason why Japan has so many earthquakes and volcanoes. This reason is that Japan is located along the Pacific 'ring of fire' which is an area along the Pacific plate boundaries where there is a lot of volcanic activity (see below). Japan also lies on the edges of several continental and oceanic plates so this is why Japan experiences a lot of earthquakes.
