4. Describe and account for the pattern of population

distribution in Asia.

The distribution of population in Asia is very uneven. There are fertile alluvial plains (over- populated areas) with extremely high densities. At the same time, vast empty spaces (under-populated/ areas) exist. The continent has a total area of 18 million smiles and a total population of 171 million, China alone with its 4 million sq. miles support one-third of the total population; while, Japan, Pakistan, India, Ceylon and Java together occupy only 2 million sq. miles but carry 40% of the population. Even within these overcrowded areas, the distribution is uneven. Special circumstances of natural resources create zones of surprisingly high densisites. In places, population densities go beyond the 1000/so. mále level.

The sketch map shows that the continent may be divided into three groups on the basis of population density:

(a) The thickly peopled areas (over 125 people/

sq. mile): the alluvial plains of China, India, Japan and Java.

(b) The sparsely to moderately populated areas (25-

125 people/sq. mile); the mountainous parts of S.E. Asia, the coastal fringes of the Aegean and Black Seas, and the narrow wedge in Asiation Russia.

(c) Practically unoccupied areas (less than 25 peop

The third factor is soil fertility.” In general,, alluvial deposits are fertile, while upland soils are leached and unproductive. Attachment of farmers to alluvial fertile lowlands and river basins is well marked. For instance, the Indo- Gangetic Plain, the Irrawaddy lower valley and delta) the Menam and Nekong basins, the Yangtze and the Hwang Ho valleys are densely peopled. In Java, volcanic soils of great fertility can explain in part the outstandingly high population densities, The narrow wedge of population in Asiatic Russia corresponds closely to the eastward extension of the great chernozem black soil belt

Variation in environment results in variation in population density, feople will live where they san most easily earn a livelihood, în Asia, most. people are rural and their livelihood depends on intensive cultivation. So, areas of dense population Ire those with an opportunity for intensive Igriculture, The empty and sparsely populated spaces of Asia rems in se because they are physically 111- juited to agriculture. The follows are the main factors that have contributed to the pattern of population distribution in Asia. However, one must bear in mind that these factors are interrelated

nd interact closely where they co-exist.

The first control is climate, Hot, humid

conditions are valuable for the production of special food and cash crops. The tropical monsoon and the temperate monsoon climates found in 5,E. Asia encourage the growth of a variety of crops. The Aegean and Black Seas, coastal fringes also carry moderate densities because the Mediterranean sonditions are suitable for the growing of wheat and fruita. The tindra is too cold, its summers too! short; to warrant plant growth. Hot deserts are homas of nomads only owing to the high temperatures and the its lack of surface water.

The second control is relief. Flat or undulating alluvial lowlands are best for agricultural activities, Mountains are scantily populated becuase of their inaccessibility, ruggedness, and low temperatures, Central Asia is too mountainous dry or top cold, because of elevation, to attract duellers in large numbers, The relative emptiness

to active weathering, soils are heavily leaoned and non-calcareous.

With regard to mineral resources,North" China) is better off in coal and iron. Large deposits or coal occur in Shansi and Shensi. Manchuria and North China are richly endowed with the basic raw minerals required for setting up heavy industries. South China is rich in non-ferrous metals such a9/ Antimony, tungsten, tin, copper and nickel, ́

Given different physical environments, agricultural practices are not similar in Forth China and South China. Agriculture in North China is precarious. The growing season lasts only 4 months allowing only one or at most two harvests each year, Farms are larger, about 5-8 acres,, Dryl farming is universal, Temperate crops, such ar wheat, millet, kaoling, and soya beans are important. In South Chins, agriculture is intensive, The growing season is between 9-12 months. Two or three crops are therefore possible in a year. Crop failures are. rare and yields are higher. The average farm is smaller, about 2-3 acres. Irrigation is practised,) especially on terraced hill slopes. Here, the more favourable climatic condition produces a greater - variety of crops. Sub-tropical crops, such as rice tea,

and sugar cane are grown.

So far as fishing is concerned,. this activity is more important along the coasts of South China' than that of North China. The former has a highly indented coastline "providing good fishing harbours whereas the latter has a smooth coastline affording poor harbours in general.

BRARIES

I lands has The early and place can be regarded as a valuable asset for drawing in settlers. Industrilisation came late to Asiatic countries but is now progressing rapidly. This leads to an interna. migration of people from rural areas to cities. Consequent to this, urban population is rising. A9 ́8) result of this phenomenal urbanisation, a great number of cities, e.g. Bombay, Calcutte, Singapore Bjarkarta, Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Chungking, King Kyoto, Tokyo and many others have gone far beyond the million city stage.

5. Write an essay on the chief geographical qlıferences 1 between that part of China north of the Yangtze River and that part of China south of the Yangtze River.

Tsinling Mountains, which lies just to the north of the Yangtze Basins, together with the Mual rever, is often used as a basis for dividing China inte North Chins and South China. Owing to the vast size v of the country, and the great extent in latitude. the two differ in may geographical aspects.

The first difference lies in relier, North China! has large areas of level land dotted with hills.. Examples are the North China Plain and the Manchurian Plain, South China consists of extensive mountains with scattered and isolated plains. Its lowlands are. much limited in extent. ⠀⠀

The second difference may be detected in their climates. North Chins may be loosely described as dry and cool, being under the influence of the cold. and dry winter north-west winds and temperate cyclones which approach from the west. In summer, the average temperature is over 60°F, but in winter, It falls below freezing. Rainfall is light, amounting to 10" - 25′′ per annum, and uncertain, un the other hand, South China is moist and warm, for here the influence of the moist rain-bearing summer monsoons. and tropical cyclones is stronger. In summer. temperature varies from 70°F to 90°F, the average winter temperaturé is above freezing, between 40°F and 60°F. Annual precipitation is more dependable and totals 40′′ – 80′′,

Contrasts may be found in soil formations ani natural vegetation too. In North China, dense forests are rare. Where tree growth is possible, cool temperate trees are dominant, in the drier lands grass dominates the scene. However, many ereas remain dusty and brown in winter. Soils are only› slightly leached and calcareous. In South China, vegetation flourishes luxuriantly and abundantly, Warm temperate monsoon forests prevail though moste

of the natural vegetation have been cleared for agriculture.. Bamboo is an important species. Owing
