Answer 2

When comparing geographical features such as archipelagos and coastal plains in the context of China, Japan, and Korea, here's what you find for each:

### Japan:
- **Archipelago**: Japan is an archipelago consisting of over 6,800 islands, with four main islands: Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Being an archipelago influences Japan's culture, economy, and transportation systems.
- **Coastal Plains**: While Japan does have coastal plains, they are not as extensive as those found in larger continental areas. The plains that do exist, like the Kanto Plain around Tokyo, are significant for agriculture and urban development.

### Korea:
- **Archipelago**: Korea is not an archipelago but is surrounded by water with islands like Jeju Island and the Dokdo islands. The Korean Peninsula itself is a landmass bordered by the sea on three sides.
- **Coastal Plains**: The Korean Peninsula has coastal plains along both the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan (East Sea), with the largest being the West Coast Plain which provides fertile agricultural land.

### China:
- **Archipelago**: China has several islands (such as Hainan and the Taiwan archipelago), but it is primarily a continental landmass rather than an archipelago.
- **Coastal Plains**: China has significant coastal plains, particularly in the eastern regions, such as the North China Plain and the Yangtze River Delta. These plains are crucial for agriculture, population density, and economic activities.

### Summary:
- **Japan** is characterized as an archipelago with some coastal plains.
- **Korea** is primarily a peninsula with notable coastal plains but not an archipelago.
- **China** is mainly a continental area with extensive coastal plains and some islands but does not fit the definition of an archipelago.

In conclusion, if you're focusing on archipelagos, Japan stands out most prominently, whereas for coastal plains, both Korea and China feature significant areas.

Answer 3

Here’s how you can fill out the table based on the geographic features of China, Korea, and Japan:

| Geographic Features | China | Korea | Japan |
|--------------------------|--------|--------|--------|
| **Archipelago** | | | ✔️ |
| **Coastal Plains** | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |

### Explanation:
- **China**: Has coastal plains but is not an archipelago.
- **Korea**: Has coastal plains but is not an archipelago.
- **Japan**: Is primarily an archipelago and has some coastal plains.

Therefore, you would place "✔️" in the respective boxes for Japan under "Archipelago," and for all three countries under "Coastal Plains."
