2 Northeast plains Also known as the Manchurian Plain, the Northeast Plain is North of the Korean peninsula. The Northeast Plain has extremely cold and dry winters. This land feature also experiences very strong seasonal winds due to its nearness to the Gobi Desert and because plains often can experience strong winds. The majority of Northeastern residents live closer to the China-Korea divide because any further North has a nearly unbearably cold climate. Changbai Mountain is a land feature that divides China and Korea. The Changbai mountains are said to be the mythical birthplace of the Manchu clan. Legend says that the birth of the first Manchu person came from a women who ate fruit then became pregnant plains
3 Eastern plains In the Eastern Plains of China, lowlands cover most of the land. The only mountains in the plains are Taishan and Dabie mountains. The Eastern Plains also have two of China s major rivers crossing through it, the Yangtze river in the South and the Huang He river in the North. Eastern China is also where most of China s 1.3 billion people live. In the North of this land feature is China s capital, Beijing. In the South this region has most of China s industry and farmlands. Before paper came to Europe, it took about 250 sheep skins to make a bible That s baaaa-d. industry: a large factory used to make things quickly develop: to make something new plains
4 southern hills China s Southern Hills experiences much higher rain fall than the rest of China. Summer monsoons often bring 250+ inches of rain in just a few months. This amount of rainfall makes southern China tropical. The Southern Hills are also crossed by one of China major rivers, the Xi river. In addition to the rainfall, Southern China also has low mountain ranges which have acted as a barrier from other countries in China s past. Before paper came to Europe, it took about 250 sheep skins to make a bible That s baaaa-d. Summer monsoons: a time of year when it rains a lot. mountain range: many mountains that are connected hills
5 Tibetan Highlands In Southwest China is located the Tibetan Plateau which is the largest and highest plateau in the world. This plateau has an average height of 4,000 meters above sea level. It has been nicknamed the Roof of the World, because of this plateau s extreme average height. This land feature also has the world s tallest mountains, the Himalayas. Eleven of the 17 tallest mountain peaks can be found in this mountain range, including Mt. Everest which has a height of 8,848 meters. This land feature has served as a physical barrier from enemies and other countries for China. The Tibetan Plateau covers over 2.5 million square kilometers, or about 1/5 of China s total land. plateau: a high flat piece of land The Taklamakan desert is the largest desert in China, and it remains virtually unexplored even today. plateau
6 Xinjiang - Mongolia In the far west of China, between the Kunlun and Tianshan mountain ranges, is the huge Tarim Basin. This basin is the largest in China and it measures 1,500 kilometers from east to west. The average elevation for this basin is about 1,000 meters. Within this basin is the Taklamakam Desert which is one of the few places in China that is unpopulated. North of the Tianshan mountains is Xinjiang s second great basin which has another desert, the Gurbantünggüt Desert. Further east is the Gobi Desert. This desert occupies the southern part of Mongolia, as well as a majority of the north central part of China. Although this land feature is large, it has to lowest population of people among the other four geographical regions. basin: elevation: height of the land The Taklamakan desert is the largest desert in China, and it remains virtually unexplored even today. desert
7 Mongolia Mongolia has three major physical features: the steppes, the highlands, and the Gobi desert. The steppes are where most people live in Mongolia. The steppes are rolling grasslands which are treeless and desert-like. The steppes also provide a good area for Mongolia s animals to roam. The second physical feature, the highlands, are located in the northwest part of Mongolia. The highlands include two mountain ranges, and most of Mongolia s rivers start here. These rivers provide water for the people and animals living in the steppes. The third physical feature is the Gobi desert. The Gobi desert has very few trees and it is the biggest desert in Asia, and the 5 th biggest desert in the world. Highlands Steppes steppes: a plain with nearly no trees develop: to make something new Gobi desert steppes
