1. Summarize the section found on pages 696-697. 2. Answer the following question: How do monsoons affect East Asia and why do people still live in these areas, given the harsh climates?
1. In North and far West parts of East Asia, the climate is mainly dry. This is caused by dry blowing air from the West all through Asia. Monsoons left all of their moisture before they got to these parts. Mongolia and North China only has enough rain to have a steppe climate. A weather pattern that has dry summers and harsh winters is called a dzud. This weather pattern can decrease the amount of food for animal herds. The Gobi in China and Mongolia is a huge desert area. Gobi is the Mongolian word that means “place without water.” 2. The monsoons don’t even get to the mainland, so they get very little rainfall every year.
1. The climate in the northern and far western parts of East Asia is dry. In the summer this is caused by dry continental air blowing across Asia from the west. In the winter cold air sweeps down from the north and also carries a little moisture. Most of Mongolia and China get enough rain to keep a steppe climate. Extensive grasslands grow in these mostly dry climates. These grasses support cattle, sheep, goats, and camels. Some year’s small amounts of rainfalls, but the summer are dry. Some areas in East Asia are dry because they receive very little rain though out the year. Moisture that reaches here are usually blocked by the mountains. The Gobi of southern Mongolia and China is a vast desert region. This desert receives less than 0.5 inches of rain. 2. The monsoons winds from the pacific have on the all their moisture released by the time they have reach inland areas.
In the northern and far western parts of East Asia it is a dry climate this is caused by the dry continental air blowing across Asia. The arctic air from the north brings little moisture. Not even the monsoons bring moisture because they have ran out by the time it get to the in lands. A pattern of weather where the summers are dry and it is a harsh winter is called a dzud. Some areas are dry because they receive little to no rainfall throughout the year.
The reason why they stay here is because they get enough rainfall for a steppe climate so they can grow some plants and keep their livestock alive. Southern Mongolia though is a vast desert region along with China but for some reason people stay there still. Not many people live in a place called Taklimakan. The monsoons don't have any rain by the time they reach East Asia because they let it all out at the outer part of the region.
In the northern and far western parts of East Asia, the climate is parched because of the dry continental air from the west. Little moisture comes from the freezing Arctic air that blows in from the north during winter. The infrequent rains can only support small shrubs and grasses. This mixture of dryness and grass creates a steppe climate. Areas such as the Gobi Desert and the Taklimakan Desert are extremely dry due to the rain shadow effect. Monsoons in East Asia usually drop all of their moisture by the time they reach the scorching deserts of East Asia. The only thing they bring to the land is more wind. People still live here because the region receives enough rain to grow small grasses. These grasses support large herds of livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats. Although people still live here, the region makes survival difficult.
In northern and far western parts of East Asia there is a dry climate. Summer is caused by dry continental air blowing across Asia. In the winter cold arctic air has little moisture. Grasslands mostly grow in dry climates. Grasses support cattle, sheep, goats, and camels. Dzud is a weather pattern of a dry summer followed by harsh winter. Some of the areas in East Asia are dry because they receive little rainfall yearly. The surrounding mountains block any moisture to get in. The Gobi is large desert in this region. The average rain fall in the eastern desert is less than 0.5 in. per a year. Monsoons can affect East Asia because all of the moisture that the monsoon has is released before it reaches inland areas. This is bad because then this region can’t get any moisture. Sense they are not getting this moisture that is what it makes it so dry. People still live in these areas even thought they are such harsh climates is because some people don’t mind the heat. Or they like to live in hot and dry areas.
Usually the climate is dry in the northern and far western parts of East Asia. During the summer, this dry environment is caused by dry continental air blowing across Asia. During the winter, cold Artic air blows across this part of the region. By this time, the monsoon clouds are carried by the winds closer to the island area. As a result, the islands suffer from monsoons. Some parts of this region, such as China, receive just enough rain to make a steppe climate.
Monsoons effect East Asia a lot. they can damage homes and force people to live somewhere else. People still live here, ignoring the harsh weather because people just don't really care what the weather is, and when you have a population growing like crazy, it makes it kind of hard to find a living space that you would prefer.
