1. Overall characteristic, brief history of Foreign Asia

Foreign Asia is the largest in the population (more than 4 billion people) and the second (after Africa) in the area of \u200b\u200bthe region of the world, and this championship is preserved, in essence, throughout the existence of human civilization. Square of Foreign Asia - 27 million square meters. km, it includes more than 40 sovereign states. Many of them belong to the oldest in the world. Foreign Asia is one of the foci of the origin of mankind, the birthplace of agriculture, artificial irrigation, cities, many cultural values \u200b\u200band scientific achievements. Basically, the region includes developing countries.

2. A variety of countries of foreign Asian on the area

The region includes different countries in size: two of them belong to the giant countries (China, India), there are very large (Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia), the rest, mainly refer to fairly large countries. The boundaries between them take place along well-pronounced natural borders.

Natural Resources of Foreign Asia

1. Introduction

The security of foreign Asia resources is determined primarily by a variety of relief, location, features of nature and climate.

The area is extremely uniform with respect to the tectonic structure and relief: within its limits there is the highest altitude amplitude (more than 9000 m), there are both ancient Precambrian platforms and the field of young Cenozoic folding, grand mountain countries and extensive plains. As a result, mineral resources of foreign Asia are very diverse.

2. Mineral Resources of Foreign Asia

Within the Chinese, Industan Platforms, the main pools of coal, iron and manganese ores, non-metallic fossils are focused. Within the Alpine-Himalayan and Pacific folded belts, ores are dominated, including a copper belt along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. But the main wealth of the region, which also determines its role in the international geographical division of labor is oil and gas. Oil and gas reserves are explored in most countries of South-West Asia (Mesopotamian deflection of earthly crust). The main deposits are located in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, UAE. In addition, large oil and gas fields are explored in the countries of the Malay archipelago. Especially stand out by the reserves of Indonesia, Malaysia. Countries of Central Asia are also rich in oil and gas (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan).

The largest salt reserves are in the Dead Sea. In Iranian Highlands, large stocks of sulfur and non-ferrous metals. In general, Asia is one of the main regions of the world by mineral reserves.

Countries with the highest reserves and diversity of minerals:

1. China.
2. India.
3. Indonesia.
4. Iran.
5. Kazakhstan.
6. Turkey.
7. Saudi Arabia.

3. Land, Agroclimatic Resources of Foreign Asia

Agroclimatic resources of Asia are heterogeneous. Extensive arrays of mountainous countries, deserts and semi-deserts are little suitable for economic activities, with the exception of animal husbandry; The security of arable land is small and continues to decline (as the population grows and the erosion of soil increases). But the plains of the East and the south are created quite favorable conditions for agriculture. In Asia, there are 70% of the irrigated lands of the world.

4. Water resources (moisture resources), agroclimatic resources

The largest stocks of water resources have the countries of Eastern and Southeast Asia, as well as some regions of South Asia. At the same time, in the countries of the Persian Bay of Water Resources, it is not enough.

Soil resources for general indicators are most secured China, India, Indonesia.
The greatest stocks of forest resources: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China, India.

Population of Foreign Asia

The population of Asia exceeds 4 billion people. Many countries in the region are at the "demographic explosion" stage.

2. Birth rate and mortality (population reproduction)

All countries of the region, with the exception of Japan and some countries in the transitional stage, belong to the traditional type of population reproduction. At the same time, many of them are in a state of demographic explosion. Some countries are struggling with this phenomenon, conducting demographic policies (India, China), but most countries do not conduct such policies, the rapid growth of the population and rejuvenation continues. Under the current growth rate of the population of the country of foreign Asia, food, social and other difficulties are experiencing. Among the subregions of Asia, East Asia further retired from the peak of the demographic explosion. Currently, the greatest growth rates of the population are characteristic of the countries of South-West Asia. For example, in Yemen, an average of almost 5 children accounts for one woman.

3. National composition

The ethnic composition of the Asian population is also extremely difficult: more than 1 thousand peoples live here - from small ethnic groups who have several hundred people to the largest people in the number of people.

The largest peoples of foreign Asian in population (more than 100 million people):

1. Chinese.
2. Hinduscan.
3. Bengaltsy.
4. Japanese.

The peoples of foreign Asia belong to about 15 language families. There is no such linguistic diversity in any other major region of the planet.
The largest linguistic families of foreign Asia in terms of population:

1. Sino-Tibetan.
2. Indo-European.
3. Austronesian.
4. Dravidian.
5. Austro-Azia.

The most complex in ethnolinguistic terms of the country is India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia. India and Indonesia are considered the most multinational countries of the world. In Eastern and South-West Asia, with the exception of Iran and Afghanistan, a more homogeneous national composition is characteristic. The complex composition of the population in many parts of the region leads to sharp interethnic conflicts.

4. Religious composition

• Foreign Asia is the birthplace of all the largest religions, all three world religions originated here: Christianity, Buddhism, Muslim.
• Christianity: Philippines, Georgia, Armenia, a significant proportion of Christians in Kazakhstan, Japan, Lebanon.
• Buddhism: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bhutan, Mongolia.
• Islam: Southwest Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh.
• Among other national religions it is necessary to note Confucianism (China), Taoism, Sintoism. In many countries, inter-ethnic contradictions are based on religious grounds.

Asia - This is the highest part of lightThat is located on one continent of Eurasia with part of the world of Europe and covers an area of \u200b\u200babout 43.4 million km² (30% of the total sudden globe). The release of this part of the light is associated with the presence of historical and geographic barriers (which are always challenged) between these parts of the world. Asia has a greater length from the north to south from Cape Chelyuskin on the Taimyr Peninsula to Mant Piaay, which is on the Malacca Peninsula.

Population of Asia: 4.3 billion people
Population density: 96 people / km²

Asia Territory: 44,579,000 km²

The Eastern Border of Asia (and Eurasia) - Cape Dezhnev with America, the Western border is on the Peninsula Small Asia - the Bosphorus Straits and Dardanelles, only in the West Asia has land borders with Europe (the Urals and the Caucasus) and on the Suez Isthmus with Africa. The main part of its territory is coming directly to the seas and oceans.

Asia - The only part of the world, which is washed by the waters of all four oceans. The sea is deeply crashed into the Asian Sukhodol. However, the influence of oceans on its nature is limited. This is explained by the huge sizes of Asia, thanks to which the significant spaces of this part of the world are very distant from the oceans. The most distant internal areas of Asia are at a distance of several thousand kilometers from the oceans, whereas in Western Europe is only 600 km away.

Asia has the largest high height of 950 m (for comparison: Europe - 340 m), the highest point of the entire Earth, the famous Jomolungma (8848m). 2. In Asia there is the deepest oceanic Wpadina - Mariana in the Pacific (11022 m). In Asia, the most deep-water lake of the world - Baikal in Asia - the deepest Wpadina of the Dead Sea (-395 m)

Asia's shores are very cut. On the north there are two large peninsula - Taimyr and Chukotka, in the east of the huge seas separated by the peninsulas of Kamchatka and Korea, as well as the islands chains. In the south, there are three large peninsula - Arabian, Indoostan, Indochina. They are separated widely open to the Indian Ocean by the Arabian Sea and the Bengal Bay and, on the contrary, with almost locked reservoirs of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. The huge archipelago of the Sunda Islands in the south-east to Asia is adjacent.

Asia accounts for more than 40% of potential hydroenergoresours of the world, of which the PRC - 540 million square meters, India - 75 million kW. 2. The degree of use of the energy of rivers is very different: in Japan - by 70%, in India - by 14%, in Myanmar - by 1%. 3. The population density in the Yangtze Valley, the largest of Asian rivers, reaches 500-600 people. Per 1 sq. Cm, in Delta Ganga - 400 people.

Most Asia countries have direct access to one of the oceans, with an extended and fairly dissected coastline. There are no access to the sea of \u200b\u200bCentral Asia countries, as well as Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Mongolia, Laos. Asia is an intersection of important marine communications. Most seas, bays and straits are alive marine tracks.

Asia is rich in various natural resources, but they are very unevenly located. With mineral resources, stocks of fuel minerals have the greatest importance. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe Persian Gulf and a number of adjacent territories there is the largest oil and gas province, including the territories of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar. The deposits of coal are of great importance, the largest deposits of which are focused on the territory of the two Asian giants - China and India. Rudny minerals more secured countries of South, Southeast and East Asia.

The resources of freshwater are great, but their placement is also unevenly. The problem for most regions is the security of land resources. Forest resources are better than other regions provided Southeast Asia, where huge arrays of rainforests are located. Among the trees can be found such valuable rocks such as iron, sandalwood, black, red, camphor.
Many countries have significant recreational resources.
In Asia, the number of inhabitants is constantly growing. This is due to a high natural increase that in most countries exceeds 15 people per 1000 inhabitants. Asia has colossal labor resources. In 26 countries, more than a third of people are engaged in agriculture. The population density in Asia fluctuates in fairly large limits (from 2 people / km2 in Central and South-West Asia in 300 people / km2 in Eastern and Southeast Asia, in Bangladesh - 900 people / km2).
Asia is a global leader in the number of millionaire cities, the largest of which are Tokyo, Osaka, Chongqing, Shanghai, Seoul, Tehran, Beijing, Istanbul, Jakarta, Mumbai (Bombay), Calcutta, Manila, Karachi, Chennai (Madras), Dhaka, Bangkok.
Asia is the birthplace of the three world and many national religions. The main confessions is Islam (South-West Asia, partly South and Southeast Asia), Buddhism (South, Southeast and East Asia), Hinduism (India), Confucianism (China), Sintoism (Japan), Christianity (Philippines and Some other countries), Judaism (Israel).

Asia - The largest part of the world. With Europe, it forms. The Ural Mountains serve as a border, sharing the European and Asian parts of the mainland. Asia is washed immediately by three oceans - Indian, northern ice and quiet. In addition, this part of the world has access to the numerous seas of the Atlantic pool.

In the territory of Asia today there are 54 countries. In this part of the world, most of the world's population lives - 60%, and the most densely populated countries are Japan, China and India. However, there are also deserted territories, especially in the northeast of Asia. In its composition, Asia is very multi-substant than it is also different from other parts of the world. That is why Asia is often called the cradle of world civilization. Due to the identity and diversity of cultures, each of the Asian countries in its own way is unique and interesting. Each has their own customs and traditions.

As an extended part of the world, Asia is characterized by a changeable and contrast climate. Asia territory crosses climatic belts, ranging from equatorial and ending with subarctic.

Asia is washed by the Northern Arctic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as - in the West - the intramicious seas of the Atlantic Ocean (Azov, Black, Marble, Aegean, Mediterranean). At the same time, there are extensive fields of internal flow - the pools of the Caspian and Aral Seas, Lake Balkhash, etc. Lake Baikal in terms of the volume of freshwater contained exceeds all lakes of the world; In Baikal, 20% of the world's fresh water reserves are concentrated (excluding glaciers). The dead sea is the world's deepest tectonic depression (-405 meters below sea level). Asian coast as a whole dismembered relatively weakly, large peninsula is allocated - Small Asia, Arabian, Industan, Korean, Kamchatka, Chukotka, Taimyr, etc. near the shores of Asia - Large Islands (Large Stern, Novosibirsk, Sakhalin, Northern Earth, Taiwan, Filipino, Hainan, Sri Lanka, Japanese, etc.), which occupy the area of \u200b\u200bmore than 2 million km².

Based on Asia, there are four huge platforms - Arabian, Indian, Chinese and Siberian. Up to ¾ of the territory of the part of the world occupy mountains and plateaus, the highest of which is focused in Central and Central Asia. In general, Asia is a contrast region at absolute heights. On the one hand, here is the highest peak of the world - Jomolungma Mountain (8848 m), on the other hand, the deepest depressions - Lake Baikal with a depth of 1620 m and the dead sea, the level of which is lower than the sea level by 392 m. East Asia - Active Vulcanism .

Asia is rich in various mineral resources (especially the fuel and energy raw materials).

Almost all types of climate are presented in Asia - from the Arctic in the Far North to Equatorial in the south-east. In the Eastern, South and Southeast Asia, the climate Mussonovon (within Asia is the wet place of the Earth - the place of Cherapundy in the Himalayas), while in Western Siberia - Continental, in Eastern Siberia and Saryarka - sharply continental, and on the plains Central, Central, Central and Western Asia is a semi-desert and desert climate of moderate and subtropical belts. Southeast Asia is a tropical deserted, the hottest within Asia.

The extreme north of Asia occupy the tundra. South is a taiga. In Western Asia there are fertile black earth steps. Most of Central Asia, from the Red Sea to Mongolia, are occupied by the desert. The biggest one is the desert Gobi. Himalayas separated Central Asia from the tropics of South and Southeast Asia.

Himalayas - the highest mountain system of the world. Rivers, in the territory of the pools of which are the Himalayas, carry Il on the south fields, forming fertile soils
