We have frequent earthquakes, seasonal typhoons, explosion of volcanoes and so on. Japan is often referred as the country of natural disasters which sometime cause enourmous casualties.
However these disasters play the positive role to activate the natural transition in Japanese archipelago. Thanks to such active transition, Japanese archipelago enjoys extraordinary wide diversity and astonishing affluence in biological species.
