It is partially enclosed, and its water does not circulate freely with those of the open ocean. It is in a region of rapid evaporation, particularly during the summer.

Atlantic Ocean and state their importance,

The continental shelves in the North Atlantic Ocean are well developed around the British Isles and the North Sea. They are also found in coast around Newfoundland and N.E. of U.S.A.. Around the coast between the low-tide level and about the 100-fathom (600 feet) mark is a shallow platform, known as the continental shelf. The shelf usually elopes gently seawards, with an angle of less than e degree. The boundary of the continental shelf is known as the continental edge. The shel is covered by deposita from the continent;

The continental sheres are ideal fishing. grounds. They are also the collecting grounds of sea weeds. There are many possible areas of oil mining e.g. North Sea,

What are the causes of the movements of ocean currenta

Draw a diagram and describe briefly the flow

of ocean currents of the North Pacific Ocean:

Ocean currents are due to a number of causes

(a) Temperature differences and convection.

Because the water at the equator is warmer than that in the polar areas, convection currents are set up in the ocean, resulting in a poleward flow of Warm surface water and a compensating creep of cold water through the ocean depths towards the equator

(bensity of sea water

Density of sea-water depends both on its inits and on its temperature. In the Polar the cold and low salinity surface water of high density

seas, therefore sinks, while in the tropics heating of the surface tends to make water high salinity and less dense, and move away polewards, so that cooler water walls up la take its place.. Winds

Many of the surface currents are, however, caused by the friction between the winds and the surface water, and therefore moving more or less in the direc tion of the wind, and varying in position and strength. with the seasonal winds.

Kuala Lumpur

* It is situated on the western foothill of the Main Range of Malaya, at the confluence of the Gombak, and Klang Rivers. At this point, there is a wide area of Lowland which makes cultivation as well as the building of houses fairly easy. This helps Kuala Lumpur to be the largest town in Malaya,

iKuala Lumpur is a commercial and industrial centre, Lying in the heart of the tin and rubber belt, Kuala Lumpar develops as the centre of a prosperous tin and rubber industry. It also has many small but important industries, such as the manufacture of batteries, paints, cables, matches, condensed milk, tooth-paste and asbestos cement sheets. Products for export are sent to Port Swettenham, a port which is only 24 miles away on the vest coast..

Kuala Lumpur is also an important route centre. Its

Its central position in Malaya nakes all the highways and railways to converge at the city. Moreover, its international airport links Malaya with most countries all over the world.

Lastly, it is the capital of the Federation of Malaysia. In fact, it has long been the seat of govern- ment. It was the capital of the Federated Malaya States. 1895 and the capital of the Federation of Malaya in 1948:

Penang, also known as Georgetown, is situated on the island of Penang, off the west coast of the Malay Peninsula at the northernko of the Strait of Malacca,

It is the second largest town and the chief pore Malaya, handling over one-third of the trade of alaye. It has a good natural harbour, with a three- mile stretch of water between it and the mainland, Here, the water, deep enough: the largest vessels, is some- what sheltered from currents and strong winds by the

island itself. It also has a good position in the inter- national route. It is the first port-of-cell for ocean

liners from Europe and India, and the last port-of-call for boats going in the opposite direction. Furthermore, it has a large and rich hinterland which includes north- west and central Malaya, linked to it by railway ferries. Penang not only handles the export of rubber and tin from this area, but also serves the surrounding countries. Being a free port, it attracts goods from Thailand, Bursa and Sumatra for re-export, thus, making it tó be important entrepot port.

Penang Le also an important holiday resort, Horeover, it has some minor industries, including rubber milling, coconut oil extraction, tin:ore melting and the building and repair of boats.

Manila, the largest town in the Philippines, 15 situated on the west coast of Luzon at the mouth of River Pasig where it enters the broad but shallow Ranila Bay.

It is the most important port of the Philippines. It has an excellent harbour sheltered by the Bataan Peninsula. It has a rich hinterland. On the large plain in the north, rice and sugar cane are cultivated and in south coconut groves are grown. Manila 18 connected with this hinterland by road and rail. In addition, Coastal shipping connects it with other minor ports of Luzon and with the other islands for which it is an entrepot part. The chief exports from Manila are manila hemp, sugar, copra, tobacco, coconut oil and timber. The. principal imports are foodstuffs, textiles, mineral oil, Iron and steel and machinery.

Manila is also the focus of communication lines. The railway on Luzon extends from it across the Manila Plain to the Lingayan Gulf in the north and to Legaspi in the extreme south of the Island. The road system on the Manila Plain also focuses on Manila and this is the "nost developed road system in the Philippines, It is also the centre of the shipping web that binds the islands together, linking the Philippines with the outside world. Furthermore, it is the focus for mumberous air services
