http://countrystudies.us/south-korea/29.htm

Extractions: Geography South Korea Table of Contents The Korean Peninsula extends for about 1,000 kilometers southward from the northeast part of the Asian continental landmass. The Japanese islands of Honshu and Kyushu are located some 200 kilometers to the southeast across the Korea Strait; the Shandong Peninsula of China lies 190 kilometers to the west. The west coast of the peninsula is bordered by the Korea Bay to the north and the Yellow Sea to the south; the east coast is bordered by the Sea of Japan (known in Korea as the East Sea). The 8,640- kilometer coastline is highly indented. Some 3,579 islands lie adjacent to the peninsula. Most of them are found along the south and west coasts. The northern land border of the Korean Peninsula is formed by the Yalu and Tumen rivers, which separate Korea from the provinces of Jilin and Liaoning in China. The original border between the two Korean states was the thirty-eighth parallel of atitude. After the Korean War, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) formed the boundary between the two. The DMZ is a heavily guarded, 4,000-meter-wide strip of land that runs along the line of cease-fire, the Demarcation Line, from the east to the west coasts for a distance of 241 kilometers (238 kilometers of that line form the land boundary with North Korea). The total land area of the peninsula, including the islands, is 220,847 square kilometers. Some 44.6 percent (98,477 square kilometers) of this total, excluding the area within the DMZ, constitutes the territory of the Republic of Korea. The combined territories of North Korea and South Korea are about the same size as the state of Minnesota. South Korea alone is about the size of Portugal or Hungary, and is slightly larger than the state of Indiana.

Extractions: GEOGRAPHY North Korea Table of Contents Korea's northern land border is formed by the Yalu (or Amnok) and Tumen rivers, which have their sources in the region around Paektu-san (Mount Paektu or White Head Mountain), an extinct volcano and Korea's highest mountain (2,744 meters). The Yalu River flows into the Yellow Sea, and the Tumen River flows east into the Sea of Japan. The northern border extends for 1,433 kilometers; 1,416 kilometers are shared with the Chinese provinces of Jilin and Liaoning, and the remaining 17 kilometers with Russia. Part of the border with China near Paektu-san has yet to be clearly demarcated. The total land area of the Korean Peninsula, including islands, is 220,847 square kilometers, of which 55 percent, or 120,410 square kilometers, constitutes the territory of North Korea. The combined territories of North and South Korea are about the same size as the United Kingdom or the state of Minnesota. North Korea alone is about the size of the state of New York or Louisiana.

Extractions: The economy of South Korea is dominated by the chaebol or business conglomerates. These conglomerates control all aspects of the supply production, from obtaining raw materials to marketing the final product. Most industries are located in urban areas in the northwest and southeast. While industry has dominated the economy, a growing labor movement is currently affecting both production and costs of products. The high standard of living in South Korea has created both growing consumer demand for products and labor demands for increased wages and benefits. Transportation and communication facilities in South Korea are modern and excellent. It has an extensive paved road system with modern highway buses that reach virtually every corner of the country. The rail system is extensive and well maintained; major cities have excellent and far reaching subway systems which connect to the rail network. All major and many minor centers are served by airports; a new, state of the art, International airport was recently opened in Incheon which is one of the most modern airports in the world. Virtually all families have telephones and Korea is reportedly the country with the highest percentage of people, over 75%, having cell phones. Children as young a 5 routinely bring cell phones to classes and Koreans use them in all public venues.

Extractions: List of Interactive Maps GENERAL DESCRIPTION Situated within the cordilleran belt that stretches across the northern Pacific Rim, the entire peninsula rests on a granite foundation. Until about 245 million years ago most of the Korean Peninsula was little more than a weathered and eroded lowland at the eastern extent of the Asian continent. As geologic forces began twisting and tilting the land, the ground heaved skyward in the east to form a series of ragged mountain ranges. In the west and southwest, the landscape actually sank, leaving the western and southern landscape dominated by low, hilly terrain with gradual slopes, open plains, winding river basins, and jagged, irregular coastlines. Over time, many of the smaller mountains in this region disappeared beneath the waters of the Yellow Sea leaving the thousands of small islands that now grace Korea's south and west coasts. Most of the 3,479 islands that surround the peninsula are actually the tops of ancient ridges and mountains. . A number of smaller mountain ranges originating in the Nangnim and the T'aebaek ranges run parallel to each other in a generally northeast-to-southwest direction. These two mountain ranges have been a great barrier to communication between eastern and western Korea since early times. The terrain is a spectacular panorama of sculpted granite and rocky pinnacles that pierce the sky. Deep, narrow canyons with nearly vertical walls are common, carved by fast running streams with numerous waterfalls and rapids. Those streams that flow eastward from the T'aebaek Divide are short, straight and fast, cascading rapidly toward the ocean. Sand spits and sand bars enclose the coastal lagoons frequently found at the mouth of these streams, a situation that produced many fine harbors and broad, clean beaches. Korea's eastern sea coast, where the T'aebaek Sanmaek mountain range rises from the East Sea, is a nearly unbroken shoreline of precipitous cliffs and rocky outcroppings.

http://www.koreanhistoryproject.org/Jta/Kr/KrGEO1.htm

Extractions: List of Interactive Maps Topographically, Korea can be divided into eleven geographic regions Level land is a rarity in the Northern Interior , a relatively high mountainous region in north central Korea that slopes generally northward and westward. The numerous peaks of the Northern Interior form a steep and rugged landscape that rarely exceeds a height of 1,200 meters (3,937 ft) above sea level. The mountainous interior is an isolated, nearly inaccessible, and sparsely populated part of Korea dominated by the Choguryong, Hamgyong, Kangnam, Machollyong, Myohyang, Myorak, Nangnim, and PujolLyong Mountain Ranges. The Korean Peninsula is a rather stable land mass despite its proximity to Japan. Although much of the peninsula's rugged, mountainous landscape resulted from volcanic activity in Koreas dim past, the peninsula has neither active volcanoes nor strong earthquakes. Volcanic activity developed several lava plateaus including the Shinge, Koksan, and Chorwon Plateaus. Along Koreas northern border with China sits the Kaema Plateau at an average elevation of 1,500 meters (4,921 ft). Mt. Paektu, Koreas highest peak and the source of the Yalu and Tumen Rivers, dominates the northwestern corner of this lava plateau, an area often called the "roof of Korea." Just north of Mt. Paektus summit is a large crater lake named Chonji, meaning "Heavenly Lake." The Tumen River Valley , located in the northeastern-most corner of Korea, is an area of low hills and valleys with several convenient harbors along its coast.

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~skim32/IFSM403/maps.html

Extractions: [Geography and Location] [Area and Topography] [People and Population] The Korean Peninsula extends southward from the northeastern part of the Asian continent between latitudes from 33 to 43 degrees North, and longitudes from 124 to 131 degrees East. Since 1945, as a result of the Cold War, the peninsula has been divided into two parts: the democratic Republic of Korea, or South Korea, and communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea. Back to top The total area of the peninsula is 222,154 square kilometers, similar in size to that of Britain, New Zealand, or Romania. South Korea occupies 99,392 square kilometers or 45 percent of the total land mass, and North Korea the remaining 122,762 square kilometers. Seventy percent of the land is covered with mountains, particularly to the north and east. Along the southern and western coasts, the mountains descend gradually into broad coastal plains. Most of the rivers have their tributaries in the northern and eastern sides, and flow into the West and South Seas. Concentrated for the most part on the southern coast are more than 3,000 islands of various sizes that provide a scenery that is unparalleled by any other place in the world. Click on Map to Enlarge!
