  1. 1.East Asia and Southeast Asia are right next to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. They serve as trade routes. Singapore has become one the world’s busiest ports. Some of the island’s depend on the sea for food. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China have one of the world’s largest deep-sea fishing industries.

    2. Oceans and seas act as trade routes, but they also cut some countries from other countries. This can stop some tourism in island countries. They can also cause floods in some coastal countries.

  2. The 2 main oceans that surround Asia and Southeast Asia are the India and the pacific. The surrounding oceans keep it isolated from the Asian mainland. The oceans serve as trade routes that are very important to the economy. Much of the shipping traffic is on the South China Sea. The people also rely on the ocean for food. Some of the deep-sea fishing industries are Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China.
    So many people rely on the seas and oceans for their everyday needs. Also the seas and oceans have a big influence on the people. Some of the major things are food and trade. The people get a lot of their fish from the seas. They also trade over the oceans in ships. That’s how the oceans and seas have such a big influence on the people.

  3. Two oceans boarder Southeast Asia, the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Southeast Asia is also surrounded by many seas. These have been very important in trade. Singapore may be one of the busiest ports in the world. Oceans and seas are also important for deep-sea fishing. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China have the world’s biggest deep-sea fishing industry.
    Oceans and seas influenced this region in many ways. People can trade much more easily and all around the world. The beaches are great tourist attractions. And it’s great deep-sea fishing industry has made a lot of money. And the deep-sea fishing industry has made food for Southeast Asia

  4. The coastlines of Southeast Asia and East Asia are washed by the Indian and Pacific oceans, and they are also washed by seas. The seas have kept Japan isolated from the land of China causing it to have a unique culture. Singapore has become one of the worlds most busiest ports because it control the Strait of Malacca this connects the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. The most important rivers in East Asia flow through China. These rivers begin in Tibet and go eastward towards the Pacific Ocean.

    The Rivers and Oceans have influenced the regions land tremendously. It has made some countries a major land of transportation. Many of the rivers and Oceans have served as trade routes for some countries. The regions inland bodies of water provide food that they depend on. The South China Sea carries most of the worlds shipping traffic. Also South Korea, Taiwan, and China have the worlds largest fishing industries.

  5. The coasts of East and South East Asia are bordered by two Oceans, the Indian and Pacific Oceans. There are many seas also. The seas and oceans serve as trade routes. Some of the cities located on the coast are very wealthy from trade, like Singapore. The other thing that seas and oceans are good for is food. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China have the world’s biggest deep-sea fishing industries.

    Oceans and seas are used for trade routes. Countries that are on the coast are usually wealthier than others. Trading also brings a country more cultures. Fishing is another big thing in East Asia. They have the biggest fishing industries in that area, which that also makes them wealthier.

  6. Long, winding coastlines of East Asia and Southeast Asia are swept over by two major oceans, the Indian and Pacific. East Asia and South Asia are also swept over by many seas. Oceans and seas influenced the region’s history and have also been important for economies. Japan developed a different culture because its surrounding seas keep it away from the Asian mainland. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China have the world’s largest deep-sea fishing industries.

    Oceans and seas have influenced the region’s history. Another influence oceans and seas have is being important for economies. They have used oceans and seas for trade routes. The South China Sea transports much of the world’s shipping traffic. They also need seas for food.

  7. Oceans and Seas have influenced our region’s history and how we live today, our economies, and food. For example, China built a culture because it was surrounded by isolated seas that kept it from the Asian mainland. The Oceans and Seas have provided trade routes. Singapore is one of the world’s busiest ports because it contains the Strait of Malacca. There are four countries that serve as the biggest deep-sea fishing areas: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China.

    Oceans and Seas has been an important role in history. Therefore, allowing China to build their own culture, because they feel isolated by the nearby seas. Not only have they been important to history, but economies and food as well. They have provided many trade routes through out some countries, so they can get food from other places. One place, Singapore, has been known for some contribute to the “shipping traffic”, because of the Strait of Malacca. I believe that Oceans and Seas are very important to people and we probably wouldn’t be able to have things from other places without the oceans and sea’s help.

  8. The oceans and seas have influenced the region’s history. Oceans and seas have also been very important to the economies. They make great routes for trade. Singapore became the world busiest ports because it connects the South Asian Sea and the Indian Ocean. This region’s islands and coastal areas depend on seas for food. Like China, this is one of the world’s largest deep-sea fishing industries.

    Some generalizations you can make out of the oceans and seas of this region are that the seas make a great trade route for the economy. The Oceans and seas are also great for fishing. The oceans and seas are such a great fishing resource, that China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are all great deep-sea fishing industries. The seas and oceans have also influenced the region’s history. Japan, because of this influence in history, has made a very unique culture. That is because its surrounding seas kept it isolated from the Asian mainland.

  9. The coastlines of East Asia are met by two oceans. They are the Pacific and the Indian oceans. Seas and Oceans have been important to for this specific regions economy. They provide to the people as trade routes. Singapore has changed alot over the years. Now it is one of the world's busiest ports. This region depends on the ocean for their food.

    Oceans have influenced past, present and future. They use ships to get across the ocean, and submarines to get into the ocean. The oceans and seas can serve as trade routes, also. In fact, the ocean covers 71 percent of the Earths' surface. Some believe that the ocean is our planet's last frontier. And that is how the ocean has influenced us.

  11. 1. East Asia depends on the oceans, rivers, and sea's that it has. These cause trade routes. Japan developed a weird culture from being off the main coast of Asia too. The South China Sea carries most of the shipping traffic. Singapore is one of the biggest ports, because it controls the Strait of Malacca. These coastal countries reply on fish for its main source of meat. They are perfect areas to have an all around market. The oceans, seas, and rivers really made this place a perfect trade route.
    2. We will eventually use the ocean to live in. It’s influenced us by just living, eating what we eat. I mean when we first appeared on this planet we didn't know what to eat. They probably tried to eat anything that suited them with tastes. Same with us today a chef makes a food, it looks good and interesting. What do you do? You eat it. Same with fish and other under water creatures. We thought they would look good, so we tried it. Thus, we like to experiment. That’s how the oceans have influenced us.

  12. Oceans, rivers, and seas have a big impact on the life of East Asia. It provides a trade route so that they can trade goods more easily. The waters surrounding the land have also had a big influence on some countries' history. For example, Japan has developed their own culture around the water. Most of the reason for this is because the seas surrounding it keep it away from Asia's mainland. The people of East Asia also rely on the waters for food. The world's biggest deep-sea fishing industries are run by Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China.

    The waters have their advantages, correct, but they can also have a big impact on how careful people live around it. The people that live closer to the water have a more likely chance to suffer from floods and a loss of tourism, because it cuts these countries off from Asia's mainland.

    The Indian and Pacific Ocean are the coastlines for Southeast Asia and East Asia. Japan developed a unique culture because they were cut off from the mainland. Today they serve as trading routes. Singapore has become one of the worlds busies ports because it controls the Strait of Malacca. The 2 oceans also serve in seafood industry.
    Oceans and seas have huge influences on places. Transportation is one. They would have to use a boat or plane to get certain places. Food is another. They could fish for seafood.

  14. The long coastlines of East Asia and Southeast Asia are washed by two major oceans, the Indian and the Pacific, and also by many seas. Oceans and seas have had a huge influence on the region’s history. They also have an influence on the region’s economies. They serve as trade routes. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Chine have the world’s biggest deep-sea fishing industries.
    Oceans and seas can be used for trade routes. This region has the biggest deep sea fishing industry in the world. Because of this they get much of their food from Oceans and seas as well. Having the biggest deep sea fishing industry in the world and having trade routes can bring money and make them wealthy.
