18.3 East Asia Natural Resources and Land Use
East Asia has limited natural resources but makes good use of what it has. Japan imports most resources as it has few domestic supplies. China has large coal reserves and produces hydroelectric power. South Korea lacks resources and imports what it needs for its industries. Farmers in East Asia use terracing and double-cropping to maximize limited farmland.
India size and location
India's physiographic regions can be divided into 7 main categories based on their area and characteristics. The Northern Mountains and Great Plains make up the largest portions at 17.9% and 17.1% of India's total land area respectively. Other significant regions include the Peninsular Plateaus at 38.5% and the Coastal Plains at 10.4%. India's location in Southern Asia influences its tropical monsoon climate and facilitated connections between Western Europe and East Asia after the opening of the Suez Canal.

A brief history of the USSR
The Soviet Union was a socialist state that existed from 1922 to 1991, established after the Russian Revolution and Russian Civil War. It grew to include 15 republics and spanned Eurasia. During World War II, the Soviet Union played a major role in defeating Nazi Germany but suffered immense losses. In subsequent decades, it developed its economy and technology but also maintained strict centralized control. In the 1980s, reforms under Gorbachev led to greater political and economic freedom but also weakened the Soviet Union, ultimately leading to its dissolution in 1991.

The document summarizes the physical geography of Southwest Asia. It describes the region as mostly arid or desert, defined by its lack of water and abundance of oil. It then covers the harsh landforms of the region like sandy deserts and salt flats that divide and isolate areas, as well as important resources like oil deposits and scarce water sources. It discusses how irrigation and dams have been used to farm arid areas and provide water to growing populations, as well as how oil was discovered and is now transported globally, bringing economic importance but also risks like oil spills.
Desert life in the middle east
The major rivers of Southwest Asia, including the Euphrates, Tigris, and Jordan Rivers, have significantly impacted where people live and work in the region. Many large cities have formed near these rivers, which provide vital water resources for drinking and irrigation. They also serve as important transportation routes. Additionally, the deserts of Southwest Asia have historically acted as barriers against invasion.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 3. 2. Rivers of Life: Two rivers in South Asia are the Ganges and the Indus. They both begin in the mountains of the Himalayas.
- 4. 3. Plains and Plateaus: Huge plains cover the north of the Indian subcontinent. The plains are alluvial meaning the soil is rich and fertile from the river deposits. In the south of the subcontinent lies the Deccan plain.
- 5. B. The Climates of South Asia 1. The Summer Monsoons: from June to October the wind blows from the southwest . It carries moisture from the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The air is very humid. 2. The Winter Monsoons: from November to April the wind blows from the Northeast bringing cooler drier air.
- 6. C. Land Use in South Asia 1. Cash Crops: Crops that are sold for money include, tea, cotton, coffee, and sugar cane. 2. Mineral Resources: Although there is rich supplies of iron ore and coal, there is not much oil. Hydroelectricity and nuclear power supply energy needs. 3. Population and Land Use: Most people live in coastal areas that have lots of rain.
- 7. II. Southwest Asia A. Dry Region Bordered by Water 1. Two Historic Rivers: Tigris and Euphrates Rivers provide some of the most fertile land in the world. 2. Mountains and Plateaus: The Zargos Mountains extend along the western part of Iran. The Elburz Mountains extend along the northern coast of Iran. Seas and Gulfs: This area is surrounded by water. Red Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf separate this area into regions. Hot, Dry, Climate: 2/3 of area is desert. This area has very little rainfall. Areas around the Mediterranean Sea are more mild.
- 8. B. Southwest Asia’s Major Natural Resources Petroleum: Southwest Asia has more than half the world’s oil. Water: Irrigation must be used because there is so little water in this area. Water is also found by digging deep wells.
- 9. C. Using the Land in Southwest Asia: People use the land for three different reasons. 1. Agriculture: Mostly grown in the northern part of the region, the Mediterranean climate is ideal for growing/ 2. Nomadic Herding: Bedouins who live in the desert herd animals, moving over large areas of land. 3. Producing Oil: Lots of oil found here.
- 10. III. Central Asia A. Central Asia’s Main Physical Features 1. Highlands: Tian Shan and Pamir Mountains 2. Deserts: Kara Kum Desert 3. Steppes: Kirghiz Steppe 4. Climate: Most of Central Asia has a dry climate 5. Sea: Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea (dried up)
- 11. B. Natural Resources in Central Asia Kazakhstan has large oil and gas reserves. This areas has rich deposits of coal, gold, copper, iron, ore, lead and uranium.
- 12. C. Land Use in Central Asia 1. Agriculture is the primary use of land. They also need irrigation to be successful. Cotton is grown as the primary crop but they have used so much water from the Aral Sea that it has dried up the Sea.
