Subtropical ClimatesSubtropical Climates• Location:
–N & E India, N Bangladesh, S Nepal & Bhutan (borders highlands)
• Vegetation:–Mostly mixed forests (dry and
tropical)

Highlands ClimatesHighlands Climates
• Location:–North (Himalaya & Karakoram)
• Vegetation:–Based on elevation
• High- always has snow, little life
• Mid- more temperate, mixed forests
• Low- (foothills) grassland, bamboo

MonsoonsMonsoons• Cool season:
– Oct to Feb– Winds from N/NE (over
land)…ARIDITY
• Hot season:– Feb to June– Temps rise, wind
direction changes
• Wet season:– July to Sept– Winds from S/SW bring
ocean air…RAIN

Natural DisastersNatural Disasters• Constant hot temps:
–Good= year round growing season–Bad= higher evaporation/ dry out soil
• Monsoons:–Good= lots of rain to water crops–Bad= too much dry air, or too much rain
(flooding)
• Cyclones:–“Hurricane” in the Indian Ocean

Environmental Flow Environmental Flow ChartsCharts• You will create different cause & effect flow charts
over at least 3 issues in Ch 25.2 (can be combined)• Must have at least 3 connections (bare minimum)• Highlight/underline all key terms!

Environmental Environmental ProblemsProblems• Wildlife
– Losing land to deforestation
and irrigation; over hunting
(tourists & farmers…why?)
– Reserves are being created, stricter laws, and financial incentives for cooperation

Environmental Environmental ProblemsProblems• Water
–80% of Indians have NO
access to clean water• Worse in Pak. & Bang.!
–Some battle flooding while others face droughts need for dams• Problems with dams?
• Narmada River debate
Ganges R.
Portion of dam on Narmada R.

Environmental Environmental ProblemsProblems
• Forests–Name 5 causes of deforestation in S.
Asia…–Name 4 effects of deforestation in S.
Asia…–Chipko movement (70s):
• Teaches impt. of trees• Provides seedlings for
reforestation• Pushes govn’t action

Environmental Environmental ProblemsProblems• Silt Erosion
–Coastal areas/deltas face severe flooding displace 2 billion tons of silt each year
–People constantly moving homes
–Using satellite imaging to find solution
