What is true of the Japanese islands?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "The nearness to the Asian and Pacific tectonic plates causes it to be subject to violent earthquakes" is true of the Japanese islands. The other statements are either false or misleading. For example, while Honshu does receive a significant amount of snow each year, the exact amount varies by region and is not necessarily over 200 inches everywhere. Additionally, while Japan's mountainous terrain does make farming difficult, the percentage of land available for agriculture is actually closer to 12 percent. Finally, while Japan's soil may be affected by volcanic activity, not all of its soil is poor.
