[Reading Pictures] 1. Four islands, the Sea of Japan, the Seto Inland Sea and the four northern islands; 2. Latitude (300 N-450 N); 3. Kanto Plain and Mount Fuji; 4. Sapporo, Hakodate, Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Fukuyama and Kitakyushu
(1) Physical and geographical features
(1) East Asian island country, consisting of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and some small islands, is shaped like a bow, and Tokyo is the intersection of arrows, which seems to be shooting at the Pacific Ocean.
(2) Countries with a small area, dense population and a population of over 100 million.
③ The coast is tortuous and the harbor is excellent-Kobe and Yokohama are the largest seaports, and Tokyo is the third largest seaport.
④ The territory is mountainous and the plain is narrow-the Kanto Plain is the largest.
Mount Fuji is a country of volcanoes and earthquakes, the highest volcano and an active volcano.
⑥ The monsoon is obvious and the ocean is strong: compared with the same latitude area in the Asian continent, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Meiyu, typhoon and rain, autumn rain; The northwest coast is snowy in winter.
⑦ Being poor in minerals, it is the largest importer of raw materials in the world: oil (West Asia and Southeast Asia), coal (China and Australia), iron ore (Brazil, India and Australia) and cotton (China and the United States).
But there are many sulfur mines, which are the result of volcanic activity.
(8) Abundant forest water power: the land area is small, mainly mountainous (Japan pays attention to closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, with a forest coverage rate of 68%, which is much larger than its land area in the world), with more precipitation → short rivers and abundant water power resources.
(2) Developed economy
(1) A world economic power-"one of the most developed three poles in the world economy"
② Conditions for economic development
Disadvantages: narrow market and poor mineral resources.
Advantages: rich human resources, high level of science and technology, and numerous advantages of island ports.
③ foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and develop the economy. Foreign trade is developed, but the economy is highly dependent on foreign countries.
Japan's main foreign trade target is the United States, followed by Asia and Western Europe.
④ Industries are mainly distributed in five industrial zones along the Pacific Ocean and Seto Inland Sea: Keihin, Hanshin, Nagoya, Kitakyushu and Setouchi. (Because: the coastal terrain is flat, the terrain is flat, and there are many harbors, which are suitable for building large ports. At the seaside, it is very convenient to transport raw materials and products abroad, which reduces land transportation and saves time, money and cost. Most of Japan's mineral resources are transported to Japan from the Pacific Ocean route, so most industries are built along the Pacific coast. -Seaports close to consumer markets and foreign trade. )
Main industrial sectors: steel, automobile, shipbuilding, electronics, chemistry, textile.
(5) The industrial layout tends to be decentralized-expanding to the north and south ends of the country.
⑥ Agriculture and fishery
With a large population and less land, small agricultural machinery is adopted, with emphasis on developing biotechnology and water conservancy, and the output per unit area is high.
The main food crop is rice, which is basically self-sufficient. A variety of crops are in plain areas, but crops such as wheat and corn are imported every year.
There are many kinds of mulberry, fruit trees and vegetables in hilly areas. But vegetables and fruits still need to be imported in large quantities. Among apples, Red Fuji apple is an excellent variety cultivated in Japan. Japan is an island country, and the surrounding waters are rich in various seafood.
The fishery is developed, and the catch often ranks first in the world, with the world-famous Hokkaido fishing ground (where the cold current of Thousand Islands meets the warm current of Japan).
In addition to fishing in offshore fishing grounds, Japan also develops coastal artificial farming. The developed shipbuilding industry makes Japan have a powerful ocean-going fleet to fish in the ocean, and Japan ranks first in the world in annual fishing. Fish plays an important role in Japanese food.
(3) Major cities
Tokyo, the capital, is a big city with a population of over 10 million.
Science City-Tsukuba Space Center-Tanegashima Silicon Island-Kyushu Island
Absolutely comprehensive, hehe
