How was Japan physically formed?
physically or politically??? Physically according to legend, Japan was formed from drops of water. The drops fell from a jeweled spear that a god had dipped into the ocean. Each drop formed one of the four large and more than 4,000 small mountainous islands that make up Japan. Politically, I have no idea.
What landform is the country of japan?
Japan is an archipelago, meaning it is a group of islands located in the Pacific Ocean. The country consists of four main islands: Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Additionally, Japan is known for its mountainous terrain, including numerous active volcanoes.
What island nation was formed due to collision of several tectonic plates?
Japan was formed due to the collision of several tectonic plates, mainly the Pacific Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate pushing against the Eurasian Plate. The geological activity in this region led to the creation of Japan's volcanic islands and mountainous terrain.
Was Japan formed by the Pacific plate moving over the Eurasian plate?
Japan is a string of volcanic islands which are formed at a convergent-subduction boundary. In this case, the subducted island was the Pacific Plate. When the pacific plate was subducted, the crust heated to form magma and expanded, pushing the Eurasian Plate upwards. This new magma close to the surface began breaking through the surface and forming volcanoes which eventually became islands.
Japan is made up of a long chain of islands What do geographers call such an island chain?
Geographers refer to a long chain of islands like Japan as an archipelago.
How were the Andes mountains the Himalayas and the islands of japan formed alike?
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
How were the Andes mountain ranges the himalayas and the islands of japan formed alike?
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
How were the Andes mountains range the Himalayas and the island of Japan formed alike?
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
How were the Andes mountain range the Himalayas and the island of japan formed differently?
The Andes mountains and the islands of Japan are both formed by subduction zones which was caused by volcanoes. The Himalayas were formed by convergent plate boundaries but no subduction zone. Instead the plates collided and there was uplift causing the mountains.

How were the Andes mt range the Himalayas and the islands of japan formed differently?
The Andes were formed when one tectonic plate was driven below another, elevating part of the South American plate. The Himalayas were formed (and are still being formed) by crushing and folding of one tectonic plate as another is driving into it. The Japanese island chains were formed (and are still being formed) by two tectonic plates pulling slightly apart from each other. Magma boils upward, forming new land.
How the islands of japan were formed and landscape?
Hurricanes
What islands was formed from volcanoes?
They are volcanos that formed around japan
How far is the Himalayas mountains from japan?
The closest points are 2850 km (1768 mi) apart. From east of Bhutan to the most west islands of Japan. Between the east-most point of the Himalayas and Tokyo is about 4230 km (2650 mi). Centre of the Himalayas to the centre of Japan = ~5280 km (3280 mi) --- The Himalayas measure about 2430 km (1500 mi) in length... Japan covers about 2890 km (~1800 mi) in length... So you have to be more clear between which part of the Himalayas and which part of Japan you wish to measure.
Why did Japan build nuclear reactors on a geological fault?
It is impossible to build ANYTHING in japan that is not on a geological fault. That is how the islands formed.
How were the Japanese Islands formed?
undersea volcanoes, Japan lies near the Ring of Fire
