2. NATURAL RESOURCES OF
SOUTHEAST ASIA COUNTRIES

3. LAND IN SOUTEAST ASIA
COUNTRIES

4.  Southeast Asia, region of Asia situated east of the Indian subcontinent
and south of China.
 It consists of two dissimilar portions: a continental projection
(commonly called mainland Southeast Asia) and a string of
archipelagoes to the south and east of the mainland (insular Southeast
Asia).

5. Mainland Southeast Asia is divided into the countries
of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand,
Vietnam, and the small city-state of Singapore at the
southern tip of the Malay Peninsula; Cambodia, Laos,
and Vietnam, which occupy the eastern portion of
the mainland,
The land has been subjected to a considerable
amount of faulting, folding, uplifting, and volcanic
activity over geologic time, and much of the region
is mountainous. There are marked structural
differences between the mainland and insular
portions of the region.

6. Insular Southeast Asia
Characteristic of insular (or archipelagic) Southeast Asia
are the chains of islands—the Malay and Philippine
archipelagoes—that have been formed along the
boundaries of the three crustal segments of the Earth
that meet there.
Southeast Asia stretches some 4,000 miles at its
greatest extent (roughly from northwest to
southeast) and encompasses some 5,000,000 square
miles (13,000,000 square kilometres) of land and sea,
of which about 1,736,000 square miles is land. Mount
Hkakabo in northern Myanmar on the border with
China, at 19,295 feet (5,881 metres), is the highest
peak of mainland Southeast Asia.

7. MINERALS IN SOUTHEAST
ASIA COUNTRIES

8.  The southeast Asia, Australia, and western Pacific region includes
the countries of Australia, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia,
East Timor, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Marshal
Islands, Nauru, Nepal, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Papua New
Guinea, the Philippines, the Pitcairn Islands, the Solomon Islands,
Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam is an important part of the Global
Mineral Resource .

9.  COAL  Petroleum and natural gas
 Antarctica
 Europe
 North America
 Africa
 South America
 At least two-thirds of the world’s
known crude oil and natural gas
reserves are found in Asia; the
proportion may prove higher as
Siberia, the Caspian basin, and the
seas of southeastern Asia are further
explored.
 Malaysia is the only important oil-
producing area on the mainland of
Southeast Asia,
Asia has enormous reserves of coal,
amounting to nearly three-fifths of
the world’s total, but they are
unevenly distributed.
The largest reserves are found
in Siberia, the Central Asian
republics, India, and
especially China; Indonesia,
Japan, and North Korea have
smaller but nevertheless
economically important
reserves.

10.  URANIUM  IRON
 The Philippines exports ore. Malaysia
produces a considerable volume.
Thailand, Myanmar, and Pakistan
have fair amounts of relatively low-
grade ores, and Vietnam and Turkey
have good ores in substantial
volume. Indonesia and India both
have large deposits of good iron
ores that are reasonably distributed.
 Although China formerly was
regarded as deficient in iron ores,
huge quantities of varying grades of
ores have been discovered that are
widely distributed and often located
close to coal supplies.
Reserves of
uranium ore are
found in Asia’s
ancient crystalline
rocks.
China and India have
their own deposits.
Chinese uranium
resources are thought to
be in northern Xinjiang
and southern Hunan
provinces.

11. FOREST IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
COUNTRIES

12.  The forest area, percentage of land area accounted for by forests, and
growing stock in forests (volume of trees comprising forests) have been
indicated in the tables and figures for the SOUTHEAST ASIA countries of
Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines,
Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore and Japan .
 But it is also the country with the largest decline in its forest area. Large
swaths of forest continue to be felled, and over the past 20 years the
forests have decreased by about 24,113 (thousand ha), which is
comparable to the forest area of Japan.
 Forests continue to decline in countries other than the Philippines and
Vietnam.

13. These forest resources are used as materials in the form of lumber
products such as furniture, plywood, and paper and pulp, or are
used for energy in the form of wood fuel.
Due to rapidly expanding demand, these countries are now faced
with the problem of depleting their natural forest resources.

14. NATURAL RESOURCES OF
EAST ASIA COUNTRIES

15. LAND IN EAST ASIA COUNTRIES

16.  East Asian countries have little farmable land , but large population .
 Therefore , they need to maximixe the land they do have .
Terraces
Raising livestock is
rare
Doubles—cropping :
growing two crops on the
same land in a single year

20. FOREST IN EAST ASIA
COUNTRIES

21.  Part of East Asia have large forests .
 However , the nations of the region , like those in other parts of the
world , have not treated their forests carefully .
 Now many East Asian countries are forced to import much of their
wood .

22. NATURAL RESOURCES OF
EUROPE COUNTRIES

23. FOREST IN EUROPE
COUNTRIES

24.  What is Forest Europe?
 FOREST EUROPE (The brand name of the Ministerial Conference on
the Protection of Forests in Europe) is the pan-European voluntary
high-level political process for dialogue and cooperation on forest
policies in Europe.
 FOREST EUROPE develops common strategies for its 47 signatories
(46 European countries and the European Union) on how to protect
and sustainably manage their forests.
 FOREST EUROPE has led to achievements such as the guidelines,
criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management.
 FOREST EUROPE is involved with other global and regional processes
processes and initiatives dealing with issues of highest political and
social relevance related to forests.

25. FERTILE SOILS IN EUROPE
COUNTRIES

26.  Europe is a wealthy region and a world leader in economic
development .
 Part of this wealth and success comes from Europe rich supply of
natural resources .
 Europe most important natural resources includes fertile soil , water
and fuels .

27. MARINE RESOURCES IN
EUROPE COUNTRIES

28.  No formal map yet exists of Europe marine territory .
 Many commercial fish stocks are not assessed .
 Poor overview of spatial extent of human activities .
 Insufficient regional coordination for sharing and
harmonising marine data .
 Europe reporting obligations with high numbers of
unknowns or not assessed .

29. ENERGY SOURCES IN
EUROPE COUNTRIES

30.  Norway is fully integrated into the internal energy market under
the EEA Agreement.
 Norway exports nearly 95 % of its gas production and 98 % of its
oil production to the European markets. About a third of the EUs
natural gas imports comes from Norway, second in volume only
to Russian gas. Norwegian natural gas can play an important role
in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
 Norway is among the world’s largest hydropower producers and
trades power extensively with neighbouring Nordic countries and
with continental Europe.

31. RESOURCES FOR US
MANUFACTURING

32.  The Total Energy Profile of Manufactured Products
 A product’s energy lifecycle describes its total energy impact,
including all stages of its manufacture through the end of its
operating life and includes its eventual disposal. Historically, if
had any interest in energy consumption, it ended when products
finished and shipped. Today, however, because consumers are
increasingly concerned with the energy consumed by their
cars and homes, manufacturers should be, too. And at the end of a
product’s useful life, its disposal must respond to growing concerns
about environmental impacts.
 The lifecycle energy concept outlines the opportunities to create
superior product value— beginning with the elimination of energy
waste in manufacturing, and continuing through energy efficiency
benefits conveyed to the consumer. Innovative technologies tie
together all the stages of the energy lifecycle.
