Geography of the natural environment

I. The world's first continent

1. Earth's location: most of Asia is located in the Eastern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere.

2, bordering the ocean: the Arctic Ocean in the north of Asia, the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the Indian Ocean in the south.

3, adjacent continents and demarcation lines: Northwest Asia to the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Greater Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea and the Turkish Straits and the border with Europe; Southwest Asia to the Suez Canal and the border with Africa; south across the sea and Oceania; northeast across the Bering Strait and North America.

4, Asia is the world's largest continent, but also across the widest latitude, the longest distance from east to west.

5, Asia division: according to geographical location will be divided into East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia, North Asia.

6, China is located in East Asia, East Asia also includes North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Mongolia.

7. China is adjacent to North Asia in the north, West Asia and Central Asia in the west, South Asia in the southwest and Southeast Asia in the south.

Two, terrain and rivers

1, Asia's topographic features: the ground is undulating, high in the middle, surrounded by low; the terrain is complex and varied, to the plateau, mountainous areas.

2, the main rivers and injected into the ocean: Obi River, Yenisei River, Lena River into the Arctic Ocean; the Yellow River, Yangtze River, Mei Gong River into the Pacific Ocean, the Ganges River into the Indian Ocean.

3, river distribution characteristics: most of the rivers originating in the central mountains, plateau, radial flow to the surrounding ocean. The reason is that the terrain in the middle of Asia is high, surrounded by low.

4, lakes: the Caspian Sea ~ ~ the world's largest lake, saltwater lake; Lake Baikal ~ ~ the world's deepest, largest freshwater lake; Dead Sea ~ ~ the lowest point of the world's land.

Three, complex climate

1, climate characteristics: complex and diverse, significant monsoon climate, continental climate is the most widely distributed.

2, climate influences: latitude factors ~ ~ Asia across the tropical, temperate, boreal, the higher the latitude, the lower the temperature; land and sea factors ~ ~ Asia's east, south and north of the three sides of the ocean, precipitation in the east, south, more, central, western less; topographic factors ~ ~ Tibetan Plateau, Pamir Plateau because of the high altitude, the formation of the plateau mountain climate.

3, the main types of climate: tropical rainforest climate, tropical monsoon climate, subtropical monsoon climate, temperate monsoon climate, temperate continental climate, tropical subtropical desert climate, Mediterranean climate, plateau mountain climate, cold climate.

4, temperate continental climate: it is the most widely distributed type of climate in Asia, it covers the central and western parts of Asia, and its climate is characterized by cold and long winters, warm and short summers, and sparse precipitation throughout the year.

5, monsoon climate: mainly distributed in the east and south of Asia, which is characterized by large-scale changes in the direction of the wind with the seasons in a year, precipitation seasonal changes. The shortcomings are prone to droughts and floods.

6, Africa's climate distribution characteristics: the equator as the center, the climate type of north-south symmetrical distribution; to the tropical climate, tropical rainforests, savannah climate is widely distributed.
