Contents• Introduction

• Location and spatial significance

• Climate (winter conditions summer conditions)

• Natural vegetation

• Soil

• Resource based economic activities

• Man and nature

This type of climate is found on the eastern margin of continent in warm temperate

latitudes.

Introduction• China Type Temperate monsoonal (Central &

North China including southern Japan)

• Gulf Type South eastern United States bordering Gulf of Mexico (slight monsoonal)

• Natal Type Natal (Africa), South Wales (Australia), Parana (Southern Brazil)-Paraguay-Uruguay & Northern Argentina (South America)

Introduction Location – China, Mongolia, Korea and

Japan.

Summer rainfall.

Great influence of seas.

Vast area possess different regional climatic conditions which varies from place to place.

CLIMATE

ClimateSummer conditions Winter condition

• Warm to Hot summers• High temperature on

east coast which decreases westward and northward.

• Mean July temp is over 32°C in mainland.

• Rainfall heaviest over the coast & decreases with increasing distance from sea.

• S. China experiences Typhoon activity in July and August

• Bitterly Cold to very cold winters

• Temperature decreases North and westward

• N. China Mean January Temp is below 0˚C

• Mainland Comes under high pressure conditions. (Anti - cyclone)

• Low rainfall In Mongolia and interior china but moderate rainfall in Japan and east coast

• Great land mass of Asiatic interior & Pacific Ocean induces great pressure changes between summers & winters, giving rise to temperate monsoonal type of climate.

• Rainfall is anything in-between 75 cm to 150 cm, fairly distributed throughout the year, with no dry month, except in the interiors of central China.

• Rain comes either as convection or orographic in summers & from depressions in winters.

• Other characteristic features of China type of climate is great annual temperature range & occurrence of typhoons (intense tropical cyclones) that originate in Pacific Ocean, & move westward to the coastlands, bordering South China Sea.

Vegetation

Vegetation• Natural vegetation as such is found only on

the high hills or mountains and other difficult areas broadly vegetation of East Asia is monsoonal but due large latitudinal extent complex topography and drainage variation from tropical broadleaved evergreen to subtropical and temperate hardwood and temperate coniferous are found.

Tropical Monsoon Vegetation

Rosewood,Bamboo,Sal,Teak,Oil Palm(High Rainfall-High

Temp)

Sub-Tropical Monsoon Deciduous

• Clear cut dry and moderate rainfall period.

• South-Central and East Coast of China.

• Oak, Chestnut, Maple, Sal etc.

Temperate Forest(N. China, Japan, Szechwan Basin, Korea)

(Pine, Fir, Hemlock)

Coniferous Forest(Manchuria, N. Japan, High range of W. China)

Steppe Grassland & Desert Vegetation

Soils• Yellow And Red Soil

• Grey And Brown Soil

• Alluvial Soil

• Loess Soil

• Chestnut Soil

Economic Activities

Agriculture (40%)

(Rice, Tea, Cotton, Wheat, Maize, Oil Seeds

etc.)

Fishery

Industry(49% of total GDP with 28% Labor Force)

Energy Resource

• Highly dependency on coal causes serious damage to Chinese environment.

• !6 out off 20 most polluted cities are from China.

• Natural air in most of Chinese cities is not breathable for biotic life.

• Unfavorable topography

• High Population and high pollution

• Made In China

Beijing 2014

Real Time Pollution

Summary• As Chinese climate is very unique and diverse in

its nature it possess numbers of different eco system within the country but man as actively involving element in the environment damaging that chain very adversely which causes serious impacts on nature. China utilizing their natural resources to such an extent that many of these ecosystem had been expired. Now it is time to think twice for Chinese authority at what cost they want to be an super power because people are not living in China they surviving in China.
