There is a lot different interaction in Japan. For example, the earthquakes that have plagued Japan have became a daily interaction with Japanese people, who use the Shindo scale (unlike us, we use magnitude) to measure the intensity. Some other way people interact with the environment is with fisheries, being an island country the trade is extremely common. another more rare natural disaster is a tsunami, a extremely large wave that can be deadly to coastal cities, especially if it happens during a typhoon ( a synonym for hurricane). Another way people interact is through farming, a prevalent way is farming for rice from rice paddies.
