Major Issues! This region is lined

with active volcanoes because of Fault Lines in the Earth

Earthquakes happen quite a bit due to the plates of the Earth shifting

Earthquakes can cause tsunamis when they happen in the ocean

The government knew a tsunami was coming

Not always the case with earthquakes, but in this case...yeah

Japan is Very Mountainous Mountains are

pretty! They go really

high, they tend to be covered in awesome forests

Good for hiking! So many great

times can be had thanks to mountains!

Except the Exploding Ones... This is when

mountains are less fun

Volcanoes are nice looking too, but require distance when actually doing their thing

Here is some more footage!

Japan: Dangerous and Beautiful

All of these things can make Japan a dangerous place to live at times

But it also makes it great to explore and sight-see

Can you imagine Burnaby looking as nice without mountains?
