The collision and compression of the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate led to many volcanic earthquakes in Japan, Taiwan and other places.

Located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is the highest mountain range in the world, with more than 110 peaks reaching or exceeding 7,350 meters above sea level.
