Landforms+Taiwan

Five photos to represent the topic Wen Ya Elementary School is between the mountain and the plain.

We usually walk down the stairs to the sports field at school. Our sports field at school is down the hill.

Taiwan is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. There are many small islands close to us. It takes 4 hours to reach the plain in the picture from my city.

Questions about the topic after looking at the photos (1 per school). Please state which school is asking question. Responses listed after each question. Mill Creek school in Illinois asks: 1. How far away are you from the equator? WYES: The Tropic of Cancer goes through my city. The distance between Taiwan and Equator is about 4000 km. 2. Do you have vocanoes in your country, and if so, can you tell us about them? WYES: We have vocanoes in Taiwan but all of them are sleeping at the moment. Maybe because of the long sleep, we have many good places for hot springs. Fall and winter are good time for hot spring bath.
