More about Micronesia

Micronesia, officially English Federated States of Micronesia [ fedəre ɪ t ɪ d ste ɪ ts əv ma ɪ krə ʊ ni ː zjə], German Federated States of Micronesia, the state in the west of the Pacific Ocean, with (2019) 113 800 residents; The capital is Palikir. Micronesia consists of the East Carolina (Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk) and the Yap Islands, which belong to the West Carolina, together 607 islands and atolls with 700 km ^{2 of} land area and a sea area of ​​over 2.5 million km ².

The Federated States of Micronesia consist partly of high volcanic islands surrounded by coral reefs, and partly of flat coral islands (Caroline Islands). The Yap Islands, located to the west of the Palau and Yap trenches (deep-sea trenches) and the andesite line, are made up of coral limestone, volcanic rock (andesite) and metamorphic rocks and sit on the southeastern edge of the Philippines plate. The East Carolines also consist of volcanic islands (but basalt) and coral reefs, but lie on the Pacific plate diving in the deep-sea trenches under the Philippines plate. This is also indicated by the stages of development of the main islands, which were created as volcanic islands by hotspots under the Pacific plate. The youngest islands are in the east of Micronesia; with increasing westerly the islands sink more, while coral reefs build up around the islands like fringes. Kosrae (up to 628 m above sea level) is deep and surrounded by a fringing reef, the volcanic island of Pohnpei (in Totolom up to 791 m above sea level) has several surrounding atolls. The Chuuk Island, which has sunk even more sharply, forms an atoll-like structure with its caldera. The Yap Islands, remains of a broken massif, are also surrounded by a coral reef.

Climate

Under the influence of the northeast trade winds, there is a tropical climate with relatively constant temperatures of 26–28 ° C. The precipitation reaches an average of 4,000 mm per year, but the amounts on the individual islands are very different. In general, precipitation decreases from east to west. The island groups to the west in particular are threatened by tropical cyclones.

Vegetation

Remains of evergreen tropical rainforest can be found on the predominantly rugged mountain islands, which are criss-crossed by numerous rivers and waterfalls. Impenetrable mangrove forests often grow on their coasts. On the other hand, coconut and pandanus palms as well as breadfruit trees thrive on the nutrient-poor limestone soils of the coral islands.

Conservation: For many of the smaller islands only a few meters above the water, rising sea levels are a serious threat due to global warming.

Population

The predominantly Micronesian population differs greatly in their customs and languages ​​depending on the archipelago. Melanesian and Indonesian influences can be felt on the Chuuk Islands, and Polynesian influences on the capital island of Pohnpei. However, while a US-influenced lifestyle has established itself here, many traditions have been preserved, especially on Yap. Overall, life is still very village-like, not even one in four islanders lives in an urban settlement. The largest towns are Weno (also known as Moen) on the island of the same name in Chuuk, Palikir and Kolonia on Pohnpei and Colonia on Yap. Most of the islands are uninhabited, the population density (2017) is 151 residents per km ². Many citizens live and work abroad, particularly in the United States, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Religion

State and church are separated by law. Religious freedom is guaranteed according to the constitutions of all four member states. The dominant religion is Christianity: Almost 55% of the population belong to the Catholic Church (majority confession in Yap), about 41% belong to the religious communities that have emerged from the Protestant mission (especially Congregationalists [more than 38%], Baptists, Adventists, Pentecostals; majority confession in Chuuk, Kosrae and Pohnpei). Within the jurisdiction of the Catholic Church, Micronesia is part of the diocese of the Carolines (Suffragan diocese of Hagåtña [Guam]). The Protestant mission has been the bearer of the Protestant mission since the beginning of the 20th century BC. a. the Liebenzell Mission. Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Baha’is are numerically small religious communities.
