The European Environmental Agency (EEA) divides Europe into a total of eleven terrestrial biogeographical regions and seven regional ...

Immediately adjacent to the north of the caldera is the Sakurajima volcano in Aira Caldera and further away to the south along what has been termed the Kagoshima Graben [1] is the Kikai Caldera. [8] This alignment was first described by Tadaiti Matumoto in the 1940s. [ 7 ]
