2. Physical features of oriental region
• To describe the physical features of any region we concentrate on its land
form, drainage features, climates, soils, vegetation, currents, and
distribution of fauna and flora.
• Geography of oriental region
• It includes Indian subcontinents including Burma. It also includes the
China and Himalaya’s. Arabian Sea and Asian forest and some plains and
rivers are also present here. Four sub regions included Indian, Ceylon,
Indochina and Indomalayan present.

3. 3 Climate
• In Burma usually the climate is tropical but the rain is also plenty and humidity is also
present. The seasonal changes vary throughout the year. From mid-May to October the
rainy season is abundant due to cool, dry and monsoon season in southeast from
November to mid-Feb. Then it varies in hot monsoon from mid-Feb to earlier may.
• Climate is cool in Himalayas and in some hilly areas. Some arid Islands are present and
Monsoon rains are abundant.
• In China climate is vary from area to area. It is hit in summertime and dry in northeast
and frost in wintertime. There is abundant rainfall in central and north regions of the
china. The southeast areas of the china are semitropical, rich rain and levelheaded winter.

• In China climate is vary from area to area. It is hit in summertime and dry
in northeast and frost in wintertime. There is abundant rainfall in central
and north regions of the china. The southeast areas of the china are
semitropical, rich rain and levelheaded winter.

5. Indochina
• Southeast Asia is called Indochina. Its climate condition is abundant rain
with moisture and steamy warm in whole year. Indomalayan climate is
tropical wet and dry and subtropical and counting broadleaf forests.
Abundant rainfall. Climate of Ceylon and Sri Lanka is cold and temperate.
Rain fall is significant during the whole year. Almost 7.3 Celsius degree
temperature average in Ceylon.

6. Distribution of fauna and flora
Vegetation of oriental region or fauna of oriental region
• Due to abundance of rain and humidity grassland covers are present. Some
forest newssheets are also found here. The main product of the Burma is
the Hitherto timber which is most important economically and
ecologically. The climates of the Burma are based on personal
investigation of the scientists.

7. China
• China includes the natural green plants due to alteration in climates by
altitudes. Some stands of bamboo, maple, palm trees, grow in lowlands
and broadleaf evergreen plants grow. In subtropical region evergreen
forests are present. Cedars, Cypress, Junipers and maple represent the
temperate regions of the china.
• In Southeast Asia tropical plants are present. Vegetation varies from
deciduous forest to evergreen forest. In Low Island due to poor soil
structure the vegetation is poor.

8. Indomalyan
• Indomalayan realm mostly enclosed by the tropical and subtropical forests. In
these forests the broadleaf forest are common and the families of Dipterocarp
forests are common. Asian forests are also present.
• In Ceylon (Sri Lanka) the third part of the island is enclosed by regular grass
land. The mostly plantation is useless by the deforestation. Forests are divided by
grass land at high level of Island organization. In Sri Lanka Sinha raja forests is
known as the heritage site in 1989. It is the single one forest in the world which
is undisturbed. This forest refilling its deepest soil by receiving rainfall in most
parts of the year. In many southwest parts of Sri Lanka rain acts as the water
stable sources.
