- Geography_of_the_Federated_States_of_Micronesia abstract "The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) consists of 607 islands extending 1,800 miles (2,900 km) across the archipelago of the Caroline Islands east of the Philippines. They are grouped into four states: Yap, Chuuk (called Truk until January 1990), Pohnpei (called Ponape until November 1984), and Kosrae. The federal capital is Palikir, on Pohnpei. Separated from the four main island groups are the islands of Nukuoro and Kapingamarangi, which geographically and politically are part of Micronesia, but linguistically and culturally form part of Polynesia: the languages spoken on these two islands are of the Samoic family of Polynesian languages.FSM enjoys a tropical climate, with quite even, warm temperatures throughout the year. Rainfall is generally plentiful, and Pohnpei reputedly is one of the wettest places on earth, with up to 330 inches (8.4 m) of rain per year. Nevertheless, drought conditions do occur periodically throughout FSM, especially when the El Niño condition moves into the Western Pacific, when groundwater supplies can dwindle to emergency proportions. Tropical typhoons are an annual threat, particularly to the low-lying atolls.Location:Oceania, island group in the northern Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to IndonesiaGeographic coordinates: 6°55′N 158°15′EMap references:OceaniaArea:total:702 km²land:702 km²water:0 km²note:includes Pohnpei (Ponape), Truk (Chuuk) Islands, Yap Islands, and KosraeArea - comparative:four times the size of Washington, DCLand boundaries:0 kmCoastline:6,112 kmMaritime claims:territorial sea:12 nmexclusive economic zone:200 nm (370 km)Climate:tropical; heavy year-round rainfall, especially in the eastern islands; located on southern edge of the typhoon belt with occasionally severe damageTerrain:islands vary geologically from high mountainous islands to low, coral atolls; volcanic outcroppings on Pohnpei, Kosrae, and TrukElevation extremes:lowest point:Pacific Ocean 0 mhighest point:Totolom 791 m, on PohnpeiNatural resources:forests, marine products, deep-seabed minerals, phosphateLand use:arable land:2.86%permanent crops:24.29%other:72.86%Irrigated land:NA km²Natural hazards:typhoons (June to December)Environment - current issues:overfishing, climate change, pollutionEnvironment - international agreements:party to:Biodiversity, Climate Change, Climate Change-Kyoto Protocol, Desertification, Hazardous Wastes, Law of the Sea, Ozone Layer Protectionsigned, but not ratified:none of the selected agreementsGeography - note:four major island groups totaling 607 islands".
