English Definition
The study of the Earth's physical features, human populations, and their relationships. Taiwan's geography is remarkably diverse for its small size (35,980 sq km): the western coastal plain is densely populated and industrialized; the central mountain range includes peaks over 3,952 m; the east coast features dramatic cliffs along the Pacific. Taiwan sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, experiencing frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
