Category:Volcanoes of Java
Java is almost entirely of volcanic origin, and contains numerous volcanoes, 20 of which have been active in recent historical times. Although earthquakes and catastrophic eruptions are a constant risk, the negative impact of Java's volcanoes is balanced by benefits to human activity. With over 100m residents [citation needed], Java is one of the most densely populated islands in the world [citation needed]. The high population has been possible in part due to it being agriculturally highly productive. Volcanoes are a major contributor to this fertility of land and high rainfall rate on parts of the island. Climbing volcanoes (and other mountains) is increasingly popular.
