I want to know about Korea's politics, history, geography, diet, customs, weather and other aspects. Thank you in advance

South Korea is located in the south of the Korean peninsula. The Korean Peninsula is located in the northeast of the Asian continent, extending from north to south, with a total length of 1 100 km. South Korea has a total area of 99,600 square kilometers. South Korea's territorial waters meet the westernmost waters of the Pacific Ocean. The Korean Peninsula is bordered by China and Russian in the north, the East Sea of China in the east and the Japanese across the sea. In addition to the peninsula connected with the mainland, there are 3,200 islands in South Korea. One of the most famous is Jeju Island, which is called Oriental Hawaii.

With the 38th parallel as the temporary boundary, the formal boundary has not yet been determined.

geologic structure

The mountainous area accounts for about two-thirds of the area of the Korean peninsula, with diverse topography, low hills and plains interlaced. The low mountains and hills are mainly distributed in the central and eastern parts, and the altitude is mostly below 500 meters. Taibai Mountain runs through the east coast, forming the backbone of the southern peninsula. Several parallel mountains extending to the side of the Yellow Sea form low hills, including Taibai Mountain, Shang Qing and Xiaobai, among which Xue Yue and Wutai Mountain are famous for their beautiful scenery. The highest peak of Xiaobai is Zhiyi Mountain, which runs from northeast to southwest at an altitude of 19 15m. Halla Mountain is located in the middle of Jeju Island, with an altitude of 1, 950m. It is the highest peak in Korea. Since ancient times, immortals have lived on Halla Mountain. Therefore, Halla Mountain used to be called Yingzhou Mountain, and together with Mount Kumgang and Zhiyi Mountain, it was called the three sacred mountains.

The plains are mainly distributed in the south and west, and the altitude is mostly below 200 meters. There are plains such as Hanjiang Plain and Xiangtan Plain along the Yellow Sea, and small plains such as Jinhai Plain and Quannan Plain along the South China Sea.

Rivers and lakes

In terms of land area, there are relatively many rivers in South Korea. The longest rivers are Luodong River and Hanjiang River, which are the two main rivers in the south of the peninsula. The Luodong River is 525 kilometers long and flows into the Sea of Japan. The Hanjiang River is 5 14 kilometers long and flows into the Yellow Sea, which is an important water system in the central region. Other rivers include Jinjiang, Chanjinhe and Linjinhe. There are few lakes in Korea, and the largest natural lake is Bailutan, which is located at the crater on the top of Hanna Mountain in Jeju Island, with an altitude of 1 .850m, a diameter of about 30m, a circumference of1km and a depth of about 6m. The largest artificial lake is Zhaoyang Lake, located at 13km northeast of Chunchuan City, gangwon, and built at 1973, with an area of 69.3 million square meters. In addition, there are some smaller lakes, such as Chaqiao Lake and Jinmu Lake.

resources

There are few mineral resources, and more than 280 species have been found, of which about 50 species are of economic value. The minerals with development and utilization value include iron, anthracite, lead, zinc and tungsten, but their reserves are not large. Due to the lack of natural resources, the main industrial raw materials depend on imports.

climate

It belongs to temperate monsoon climate and has obvious maritime characteristics. Winter is long and cold, summer is hot and humid, and spring and autumn are quite short. The lowest temperature in winter is-12℃, and the highest temperature in summer is 37℃. The average annual rainfall is about 1500mm, and the rainfall from June to August is relatively large, accounting for 70% of the whole year. The annual average precipitation is about 1500mm, which gradually decreases from south to north.

South Korea has four distinct seasons and short spring and autumn. Summer is hot and humid; Winter is cold and dry, and sometimes it snows.

The temperature difference in different parts of Korea is quite large, with the average temperature ranging from 6℃ to 16℃. In the hottest August of the year, the average temperature is 19℃ to 27℃. 65438+ 10 is the coldest month, with an average temperature of-8℃ to 7℃.

It is often windy and rainy in early spring, and strong winds bring "yellow sand" to inland deserts in Asia, commonly known as sandstorms, which have gradually increased in recent years. By mid-April, the weather is getting warmer, and Korean farmers level rice fields every year to prepare for planting rice. There are many typhoons in summer and autumn, and there will be plum rains in summer.
