5, can find the following place names in the map, say these geographic things are expressed: the Himalayas, Mount Everest (small black triangle), Tibetan Plateau (dark brown area), the West Siberian Plain (green area), the Caspian Sea, Lake Beyhurst, the Dead Sea (closed light blue), the Arabian Peninsula, the Malay Archipelago, the North China Plain, the Indus River Plain, the Deccan Plateau, Pamir Plateau, Iranian Plateau.

6, the distribution of rivers: originated in the central, radial flow in all directions. The main rivers are: the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Mekong River, the Ganges River, the Indus River, the Obi River, the Yenisei River.

7, Asia's climate characteristics: complex and diverse climate types, monsoon climate, continental climate is widely distributed. Methods of analyzing the climate characteristics of other continents: the distribution pattern of climate types and the most widely distributed type of climate. Characteristics of monsoon climate: high temperature in summer, low temperature in winter, seasonal changes in precipitation, concentrated in the summer and fall seasons, rain and heat at the same time.

8, in order of population: Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, North America, Oceania; in order of natural population growth rate: Africa, South America, Asia, Oceania, North America, Europe.

10, the country's industrial structure is an important indicator of a country's economic development, the higher the per capita GNP of the country, the more economically developed, the tertiary industry is large, the per capita GNP from the low countries, the more economically backward, the greater the proportion of primary industry.

Asia's economic differences: the eastern seaboard economic note developed, the western inland economy is more backward, different land and sea location economic development is different, different socio-historical conditions of economic development is different.

Chapter 7: our neighboring countries and regions

1, geographic location: sea and land location (northwestern Pacific Ocean), continental location (eastern Asia), latitudinal location (latitude and longitude spanning a wide range) 23 ° N - 46 ° N, 122 ° E - -148 ° E, Japan's north and south of the country is narrow and long, and with the meridian diagonal, making Japan's geography more complex and diverse, across the widest latitude, the temperature difference between the north and south will be large, across the longitude of a wide range of east and west of the time difference between the places will be large.

2, topographic features: typical island country, with four major islands (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu four islands) and more than 3900 small islands; land area of 377,000 square kilometers; zigzagging coastline, more than fine ports (such as Kobe, Yokohama), the terrain is dominated by mountainous terrain, the plains area is narrow, more volcanoes, earthquakes (Japan is located in the Pacific Plate and the Asian-European plate of the junction of the crust, frequent activity, unstable) (Japan is located at the intersection of the Pacific Plate and the Asian-European Plate, the crust of the earth is frequent and unstable)

3, developed processing and trade-based economy: Japan is a world economic power, is a processing and trade-based economy, heavily dependent on foreign countries, to import raw materials from abroad, and export manufactured goods.

4, Japan's major industrial zones: Keihin Industrial Zone, Nagoya Industrial Zone, Setouchi Industrial Zone, Hanshin Industrial Zone, Kitakyushu Industrial Zone; distribution characteristics: Japan's industry is highly concentrated, mainly in the Seto Inland Sea coast and the Pacific coast.

5, East and West compatible culture: traditional colors and modern atmosphere coexist, China and Japan have a long history of cultural exchanges.

6, Japan's investment measures: expanding overseas investment, the establishment of overseas production and sales bases, mainly to the United States, Western Europe and Southeast Asia; Overseas investment in the establishment of factories to Japan's benefits: the use of cheap labor in developing countries; reduce the input costs of industrial production; to join the international economic and technological cooperation and competition in the international market; the protection of the country's natural resources, slowing down the depletion of resources. Protecting the environment of the country and reducing the investment in transportation costs. Impact of Japan's investment in building factories overseas on other countries: Japan's move of heavily polluting enterprises overseas will pollute the environment of other countries and lead to a decline in the quality of the environment; Japan has a strong sense of protecting its own resources in its own national interests, but the import of large quantities of timber or overfishing in distant oceans will lead to the serious destruction of resources in other parts of the world or in other countries, which will lead to the dislocation of the global ecological environment.

7, the scope of Southeast Asia: including the Central and Southern Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago; countries (*** 11 countries): Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia (the country of a thousand islands, the world's largest archipelago countries), Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Brunei, East Timor. Geographic location: latitude (10°S - 25°N) is mainly located in the tropics; land and sea location: west of the Indian Ocean, east of the Pacific Ocean, most of the countries are coastal countries and island countries, by the ocean influence; transportation location: located in the north and south of the two continents (Asia and Oceania), east and west of the two oceans (the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean) between the "crossroads," in the "crossroads" of the world. It is at the "crossroads". Strait of Malacca: located between the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia's Sumatra Island, from Europe to the east to Southeast Asia, East Asia, the shortest route of the ports must pass through, is the edge of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean is an important sea passage.

Climate type Distribution Climate characteristics of the impact on agriculture

Tropical rainforest climate Southern Malay Peninsula and most of the Malay Archipelago, high temperatures throughout the year and rainy crops can be sown at any time, all seasons are harvested

Tropical monsoon climate Central and South China Peninsula, Malay Peninsula, as well as the northern part of the Philippine Islands, the year-round high temperatures, with a dry and rainy seasons rainy season, the harvest of the dry season

2, Southeast Asia's food crops why rice-based: rice is a staple food crops, but its production requires a large number of labor inputs, and requires high temperatures and rainy conditions, Southeast Asia's densely populated, less cultivated into the high temperatures and heavy rainfall, rice as a major food crop is due to the system's inevitable conditions of the appropriate. Distribution of tropical cash crops in Southeast Asia: Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar is the world's major rice exporters; Thailand is the world's largest rubber producer; the Philippines is the world's largest banana hemp producer and coconut exporter; Malaysia is the world's largest producer of palm oil; Indonesia is the world's largest coconut producer.

3, most of the rivers in Southeast Asia originated in China's Tibetan Plateau region, such as the Mekong River (Lancang), Salween (Nujiang), river characteristics: north-south column, mountains and rivers, the river on the continent through the mountainous areas, both sides of the mountains, fast-flowing, rich in hydroelectric resources, the lower continent of the river valley spread wide, the water flow is slow, sediment deposition, the riverbanks on both sides of the formation of alluvial plains, forming a sea inlet. River channels, low and fertile estuarine delta.

4, why the distribution of cities along the rivers and estuaries and deltas: because these places are fertile, flat, easy to irrigate, convenient transportation, is densely populated in Southeast Asia, agriculture is developed in the important agricultural areas, but also for the development of the city to provide favorable conditions, such as our country's Chongqing, Wujiang, Shanghai.

5, India's geographic location: is located in the southwest of China, is one of the four ancient civilizations, India's neighbors are Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka across the sea, India's topography can be he for the three major topographic regions: the north of the southern side of the West Malaya mountainous terrain, the middle of the Ganges River flat source, the south of the Deccan Plateau.

6, India's total population has exceeded 1 billion, is the world's second most populous country, 50 years India's population grew nearly three times, India's population problems are mainly characterized by: population growth rate is too fast. From the 1970s the Indian government has taken the population control policy and incentive programs, but the majority of rural India's traditional concepts are still very strong, in a fairly long period of time, India's annual net population increase will be more and more large. India due to overpopulation, so that India both per capita natural resource holdings, or per capita food production and steel production compared with the world average, there is a large gap. This shows that excessive population growth can have serious negative impacts on a country's resources, environment as well as economic development.

7, most of India in the tropics and subtropics, to the tropical monsoon climate is dominated by tropical monsoon climate, tropical monsoon climate is mainly characterized by: high temperatures throughout the year, rainy and dry seasons. Rainy season (June - September) winds from the ocean to the land (southwest wind), dry season (October - May) winds from the mainland to the sea (northeast wind). The monsoon makes frequent floods and droughts in India, such that when the monsoon comes early and recedes late and the winds are strong, floods are formed, and when the monsoon comes late and recedes early and the winds are weak, droughts are formed.

8, India's rapid growth of food breakthrough in the implementation of the "Green Revolution". Rice and wheat are India's main food crops, both of which are among the world's top producers. Rice is mainly distributed in sufficient precipitation, flat terrain on the Ganges Plain and coastal plains; and wheat is mainly distributed in the less precipitation, light enough upstream of the Ganges River and the Deccan Plateau in the northwest. This also shows that the relationship between agricultural production and natural conditions is extremely close.

9, India's industry, the British rule, the main development of the textile industry and mining, which is due to the British out of the needs of their own economic development, the strict control of India's industry, India at that time the level of science and technology is quite backward, after independence, India has actively introduced foreign investment and advanced technology, attach importance to training scientific and technological talent, and strive to develop their own industries, mainly: iron and steel industry, machinery industry, chemical industry and the cotton and linen textile industry, and in the atomic energy industry, India's economy is still in the process of development. Cotton and linen textile industry, but also in the atomic energy, aerospace, computer software and other high-tech fields have certain achievements.

10, Russia's natural profile: ① terrain: relatively flat, mainly plains, west of the Ural Mountains for the plains, east of the West Siberian Plain, the Central Siberian Plain, East Siberia with the same place. Is the world's largest country, east-west length of 10,000 square kilometers, north-south width of about 4,000 kilometers, an area of more than 17 million square kilometers; ② climate: temperate continental climate. There are large differences, the northern part of the year-round cold polar climate, the southern part of the Mediterranean climate and temperate steppe climate, the eastern part of the temperate monsoon climate. Russian period of climate livestock: long and cold winters, short and warm summers; ③ rivers and lakes: the Volga is Europe's longest river, rich in water power, the most important inland waterways. Obi, Yenisei, and Lega Rivers, rich in hydroelectric energy, long freezing period. Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world; ④ Rich in natural resources. There are many kinds of natural resources, large reserves, uneven regional distribution, more in the east and less in the west. The main minerals are: oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, non-ferrous metals, etc., and the main places of production are the Kursk Iron Ore Mine, the Kuzbass Coal Mine and the Tyumen Oil Field.

11, the four major industrial zones: Moscow as the center of industrial Asia, distributed in the European part of Russia, this is the most developed region of Russian industry, mainly steel, automobiles, airplanes, rockets and electronics and other industrial sectors; St. Petersburg as the center of the industrial zones, distributed in the European part of Russia's Baltic Sea coast. Petrochemicals, shipbuilding, electronics, paper and aerospace industries are well developed here. It is also the most developed area of Russia's food and textile industries; the Ural Industrial Zone, in the Ural Mountains, is located on the Asian-European divide. Here the main production of oil, steel and machinery and other products; Kuzbass as the center of the Siberian industrial zone: here the main production of coal, oil, natural gas, electricity, iron and steel and other heavy industrial products and military industrial products.

12, the Great Trans-Asian Railway along the southern mountain construction: the primary reason is that the southern mountainous areas are rich in mineral resources, and secondly, the northern region of Russia due to high latitude, cold all year round, low temperatures, there is a very deep permafrost, and the construction of railroads on the permafrost, the difficulty of, and the safety coefficient is low. Pipeline transportation is a new type of transportation that combines lines and carriers into one and mainly transports oil and gas. The two main modes of transportation: highway and railroad; the two main modes of freight transportation: pipeline and railroad.
