10 GUIDE TO STUDET HADOUT Challenge 3: Using Geography Skills to Answer Where? Question Circle the thematic map you used. Then answer the question in complete sentences. The most common type of vegetation in the southern parts of Monsoon Asia is broadleaf evergreen forest. Mongolia, Japan, orth Korea, and South Korea are the northern countries in Monsoon Asia that do not have this type of vegetation. The Philippines is the country located directly east of Vietnam. The types of land use in this country and just offshore include commercial fishing, subsistence farming, commercial farming, and trade and manufacturing. Mount Everest is located on the border of epal and China. 4 India, epal, Bhutan, and China all have some land in an ice cap vegetation zone 5 6 Japan has three cities with a population of more than 8 million. The three cities are Osako, agoya, and Tokyo. India has all of these climate zones Thailand is the country south of the that has coal, hydroelectric power, natural gas, and petroleum, but not precious metals. The most typical climate in the islands along the equator is tropical wet. The country that stretches across many of those islands is Indonesia. The Chang Jiang (Yangtze River) flows from the Plateau of Tibet to the East China Sea. It flows through China. Mongolia is the country in Monsoon Asia with the lowest population density. Its overall population density is under 2 people per square mile. Teachers Curriculum Institute Monsoon Asia 3

11 GUIDE TO STUDET HADOUT Challenge 4: Using Geography Skills to Answer Why There? Question 1 Circle the thematic map you used. Then answer the question in complete sentences. Broadleaf evergreen forest is the vegetation found in Bangladesh. Broadleaf evergreen forests usually grow in warm and wet climates, such as a tropical wet or humid subtropical climate. 2 The land use in Mongolia is almost entirely nomadic herding. The types of vegetation found in desert scrub and temperate grassland vegetation zones small plants and grasses make good grazing land. 3 Forestry is one use of land on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Borneo. These islands have broadleaf evergreen forests, which contain trees that are useful for many things. 4 5 The population density in the western half of China is under 2 people per square mile. Much of this area has elevations over 10,000 feet. There are mountain ranges and the Taklamakan Desert, with a climate that is either highlands or arid and semiarid. All these features make western China a difficult place to live. In contrast, eastern China has a high population density. The lower elevations, rivers like the Huang He and Chang Jiang, and wetter climates make eastern China a more attractive place to live. This person might live in India. The population density of India is over 250 people per square mile on the coast. Much of the land is used for subsistence farming. Trade and manufacturing is found in some cities. India s elevation ranges from sea level to over 10,000 feet in the Himalayas. Parts of India have arid and semiarid climates. Other parts have a tropical wet and dry climate. 6 This person could be writing a travel guide for Japan. Japan s climate is humid continental and humid subtropical, which would be neither too dry nor too wet. Tokyo, the capital, has more than 8 million people. Japan has both mixed forests and coniferous forests. Finally, Japan is entirely made up of islands. Teachers Curriculum Institute Monsoon Asia 4

Another possible answer: From the vegetation zones map, we learned that this location is in a broadleaf evergreen forest vegetation zone. In the field photograph, we see a truck that could be transporting manufactured and trade goods, and a man pushing a delivery cart that could serve the same purpose on a smaller scale. Another possible answer: In the field photograph, we see a bit of thick, green, broadleaf vegetation in the background. Teachers Curriculum Institute Monsoon Asia 6
