Background[edit]
Land and Climate[edit]
Taiwan is located at the intersection of the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean. It is located at 25.1 N and 121.5 E according to the DMS latitude and longitude. Two-thirds of Taiwan is covered by rugged and coarse mountains. The population of the country is focused at the foot of the central mountain where the land is flat. The island is active geologically because it sits on the Ring of Fire. Thus, big earthquakes are experienced every now and then. There are also several water bodies in Taiwan. There are more than 150 rivers and lakes on the island.
