• One is the mainland region.
• The mainland has lots of mountain ranges running North
to South with river valleys between them. The mountains
are heavily forested and hard to pass through so the
people of the various valleys were pretty well isolated
from one another.

currently twenty-four states exhibit a cultural diversity
comparable to that seen among the nations of Europe.
• The Tibetan highlands also form part of the region.
Stretching some 1,800 miles from north to south, and
almost the same distance from west to east, the area is
home to an ancient and diverse group of cultures.

• Way of Life
• Economic Activities
27. • Asia is the world's largest and most populous
continent, located primarily in the eastern and
northern hemispheres. It covers 8.7% of the Earth's
total surface area (or 30% of its land area) and with
approximately 3.9 billion people, it hosts 60% of the
world's current human population. During the 20th
century Asia's population nearly quadrupled.
• Asia is the largest continent by landmass and covers
8.6% of the Earth's surface . The land area of Asia is
actually larger than the land area of the moon. (44.6K
sq km – 37k sq km respectively)
28. • Highest Point: Mt. Everest
(Kathmandu, Nepal)
• Lowest Point: Dead Sea
(Jordan)
• Largest Country by Area:
Russia (17, 098, 242 sq. km)
• Largest Country by Population:
(1, 336, 718, 015)
• Largest Metropolitan Area:
Tokyo, Japan
(37, 370, 064, 2010
Calculation)
29. • Lowest River: Yangtze
River in China (6,300
km)
• Largest Desert: Gobi
Desert
(Mongolia/China)
(1,500 km)
• Largest Lake: Caspian
Sea (3,626,000 km)
30. • The geography of
Asia is astounding:
approximately one-
third of the earth’s
population lives in
Asia. Asia also covers
one-third of the earth’s
land. It is said that the
total landmass of Asia
is larger than the total
area of the moon.
31. • Part of the reason Asia is
so unique is due to its
physical geography.
Tectonic plate movements
shaped its massive
mountains and volcanic
activity millions of years
ago and it produced
thousands of islands in the
Pacific Ocean.
32. • The mean elevation of the
continent is 950 m (3,117 ft.),
the highest of any in the world.
The plateau and mountainous
areas broadly sweep SW-NW
across Asia, climaxing in the
high Tibetan Plateau, rising to
the highest peaks in the world
in the Himalaya.
33.
34. • Climate- Encompasses the statistics of temperature,
humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation,
atmospheric particle count and other meteorological
elemental measurements in a given region over long
periods.
• Asia stretches about 5,000 miles from north of the
Arctic Circle to south of the equator. From east to west
Asia stretches nearly halfway around the world. This vast
area has many different kinds of climate. Asia has some
of the coldest and some of the hottest, some of the
wettest and some of the driest places on earth.
• The climate of Asia varies according to location and
physical geography.
35. • Deciduous forest - Four distinct seasons with warm summers
and cold, wet winters. The trees shed their leaves in autumn.
• Coniferous forest - Also known as Taiga, cold and dry with
snowy winters and warmer summers.
• Alpine/mountain - Cold, windy and snowy. It is winter from
October to May with temperatures below freezing, while summer
is from June to September where the temperature can reach
15°C.
• Rainforest - High temperatures and high rainfall throughout the
year.
• Desert - Warm to high temperatures with very little rainfall.
• Tundra - This area is characterized by a layer of permafrost (soil
that has remained below freezing for at least two years. Winters
are very cold, summers are warm and there is little rainfall.
• Grassland - Hot summers and cold winters with above average
rainfall.
• Savanna - Very high temperatures all year and rain during the
36.
37. • Asia covers 29.9% of the land area of the
earth
• Asia’s boundaries extend from the Suez Canal
and Ural Mountains in the west, to the south of
the Caucasus Mountains and Caspian and
Black Seas. Also to the South is the Indian
Ocean, to the North the Arctic Ocean and to
the Far East the Pacific Ocean.
• Asia is the largest continent by landmass and
covers 8.6% of the Earth's surface . The land
area of Asia is actually larger than the land
area of the moon. (44.6K sq km – 37k sq km
respectively)
38.
39. • Asia’s lifestyle includes their
livelihood, culture and traditions. As
for livelihood, most Asian countries
make a living by agriculture, meaning
farming, fishing, and hunting. The
products, like rice, corn, fish, and the
like are also exported in other
countries. Mining is also another way
of Asia’s means of livelihood and so
is migration. Through
migration, countries in Asia get
remittances.
• As towards Asia’s culture and
traditions, each country in Asia has its
own uniqueness. May it be tradition
on how to celebrate
festivities, weddings, and other
rituals. For instance, Asians also
value family very much. Asians has a
deep sense of family and respect the
many generations of the family.
Religion deeply affects the daily lives
of people in Asia, both through its
commandments and its influence on
their outlook on life.
40.
41.
42. • Until the start of the 20th century,
subsistence agriculture was the
basic economic activity of most of
Asia. Commercial agriculture,
mining, and manufacturing were
found in areas colonized or
strongly influenced by Europeans.
43. • AGRICULTURE
• MANUFACTURING
• MINING, FISHING, AND FORESTRY
• TRANSPORTATION OF TRADE
44. • by far the most important economic activity in Asia.
Almost 60 per cent of the continent's working population
is engaged in farming. Farmers cultivate, either
continuously or intermittently, one-sixth of Asia's total
land area. The land they use for livestock grazing
accounts for an additional one-fifth.
• In Communist-ruled Asia—China, Mongolia, North
Korea, and Vietnam—most agricultural lands are
organized into large, state-controlled and state-owned
units such as cooperatives, state farms, and collectives.
45. • Asia is largely a continent of so-called "developing" or
"third world" nations, with Japan the most notable
exception. Japan is Asia's leading manufacturing nation.
It is a world leader in the production of iron and
steel, transportation equipment, photographic
equipment, and electronic goods. Exports are usually
high in value in comparison to their bulk. Examples
include automobiles, cameras, and radio and television
sets. Japan is the only major Asian nation to have a
predominantly urban population employed mainly in
manufacturing and commerce.
46. • Fossil fuels are Asia's most important mineral products.
Southwestern Asia, especially the area around the Persian
Gulf, produces about one-fourth of the world's yearly output of
petroleum, nearly all of it for export. Malaysia and Indonesia
are also important exporters of petroleum. In many
cases, natural gas is produced along with petroleum. Large
amounts of oil and gas also come from fields in
Kazakhstan, Siberia, and eastern China.
• Asia is the primary source of much of the world's tin and
graphite. Gold, nickel, and platinum and related metals are
found in Siberia and precious gems—rubies and sapphires—in
Sri Lanka and Burma. Among the many other minerals
produced are tungsten, lead, manganese, copper, and
bauxite, as well as phosphates and numerous other
nonmetallic minerals.
47. • Fishing is an important activity in Asia. Most of the catch
is used for human food; relatively little is processed for
livestock feed, fertilizer, or industrial use. The people of
southern and eastern Asia depend on fish and shellfish
for a large part of the protein in their diet. The major
fishing nations of Asia include
Japan, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and South
Korea. Asiatic Russia's catch is also important.
