Geography of Guam

Guam is a small island in the Pacific Ocean, just south of Japan and east of the Philippines. It is part of a region called Micronesia. Guam is about 30 miles long and 9 miles wide, which is smaller than some cities!

The island is made up of hills and valleys, and it has a lot of beautiful beaches. There is a big coral reef that surrounds the island, which is home to many different kinds of sea creatures. People who live in Guam take care of the island by keeping it clean and not littering.

The weather in Guam is usually warm and sunny, but sometimes it rains a lot. There are also some typhoons (a really big and strong storm) that can hit the island, so it's important for people to be prepared and stay safe.

There are about 170,000 people who live in Guam. They speak English and Chamorro, which is a language that has been spoken on the island for thousands of years. Many people in Guam work in industries like tourism, the military, or agriculture.

Guam is a special place with a unique geography, and it's important to take good care of it so that people can continue to enjoy its beauty for years to come.
