Home Military Operations World War IV ... Taiwan Taiwan Geography Introduction Background Military Balance China's Options ... Current Weather References Delights from the Garden Of Eden A Cookbook and a History of the Iraqi Cuisine Shaped roughly like a tobacco leaf, Taiwan is 394 kilometers (245 miles) long and 144 kilometers (89.5 miles) wide at its broadest point. The Central Mountain Range bisects Taiwan from north to south and about two-thirds of the island is covered with forested peaks. The rest of the island is made up of foothills, terraced flatlands, and coastal plains and basins. The surface structure of the island is formed by a tilted fault block running roughly northeast to southwest along the entire length. The steep slope of this tilted block faces east and the rock mass slopes more gently to the west. Because of the terrain, scarcely more than one-third of the land area is arable. The mountains are mostly forested, with some minerals - chiefly coal - at the northern end. On the east coast, the mountains fall away steeply to the Pacific. To the west, the level sediments lie just below the surface of the sea. As a result, river deposits have filled the shallow waters and extended the land 15 to 30 km westward from the foothills. The shoreline of Taiwan is simple and fairly straight. The total length is 1,566 km (including the Pescadore Islands). Off the southern end of the island lie a number of coral reefs built up along the island's shores during the Pleistocene Period. However, the area covered by these reefs is small.

ALL ABOUT TAIWAN The Society The Religion Taiwan Facts Geography Geography Taiwan is a small tropical island, and home to almost 23 million people. Taiwan is less than 400 km long and about 150 km wide. Over two-thirds is rugged mountains, leaving the population crowded into ever expanding cities. Anumber of small islands off the coast of China also fall under Taiwan's jurisdiction. Taiwan lies off the southeast coast of China on the Tropic of Cancer. In the south it is hot and humid for most of the year, however, Taipei has cold, wet winters. Each summer, the island experiences a number of typhoons which often lead to serious flooding and landslides. Taiwan's most prominent geographic feature is its central mountain range, which has more than 200 peaks over 3,000 meters high. Rainfall is high providing the island with very rich vegetation. The flat west coast is densely planted with rice, tropical fruits and vegetables. The warm, wet weather means it is capable of producing three rice crops each year. Taiwan lies at the juncture of two geological plates and thus like Japan, frequently experiences earthquakes. Most recently, over 2000 people died in the quake which struck central Taiwan on 21 September 1999.

Additional Links Taiwan (Republic of China) Country Profile Flag of Taiwan Background: In 1895, military defeat forced China to cede Taiwan to Japan, however it reverted to Chinese control after World War II. Following the communist victory on the mainland in 1949, 2 million Nationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government using the 1947 constitution drawn up for all of China. Over the next five decades, the ruling authorities gradually democratized and incorporated the native population within its governing structure. Throughout this period, the island has prospered to become one of East Asia's economic "Tigers." The dominant political issue continues to be the relationship between Taiwan and China and the question of eventual reunification.
