1. Summarize the main points from the section found on pages 690-691. 2. Answer the following question: In what way do East Asia’s major rivers positively and negatively affect the region?
1. The most important rivers in East Asia flow through in China. Huang He (yellow river) is northern Asia‘s major water system. Loess is yellow brown soil. Because of the Huang He’s yearly flooding the Chinese people call it “China’s sorrow”. Chang Jiang is also one of Asia’s important rivers; it is the longest river in Asia. It flows for about 3400 miles through spectacular gorges, or canyons, and broad plains. The Chinese are constructing a huge dam on the Chang Jiang.
2. It helps positively by the Huang He bringing in Loess and tons of it. This Loess is blown through the desert and land by river side’s to make a major wheat growing area in the north China Plains. The Chang Jiang provides water for large farm areas. Now for some negative things about rivers in the Eastern Asia region. The Huang He every year floods over. Well that is all.
Most East-Asian rivers flow through China. The Huang He, also known as the “Yellow River”, is a major river in this region. There also Chang Jiang, or the Yangtze River, is Asia’s longest river being 3,400 miles long. But, the Chinese are building a dam on the Chang Jiang, 607 feet tall and 1.04 miles high, being the tallest dam in the world. They are making this dam so it prevents flooding and provides hydroelectric power. When this dam is done, it will make a large lake, making a lot of people to leave their homes.
The positive affect the region because of rich soil and trade. When the rivers flood, it makes the soil that it floods over very fertile, making farming wheat, rice, and other grains easier and better to grow. The rivers also make trade easier, which is why Singapore is so dense. They can also be negative because of flooding. When it floods, hundreds of people, maybe thousands, are forced from their homes.
Most of East Asia's rivers go through China. The Huang He, or the yellow river, gets its color from the yellowish-brown soil called loess. The Huang He River has caused many floods that destroy the things surrounding it so the Chinese call this river “The River of Sorrow.” The Chang Jiang River provides a large amount of water to help farming. This river is a trade route also. The Chinese people are building a dam to help prevent flooding and give hydroelectric power.
This Region’s rivers affect this region negatively by causing many floods. Floods can destroy homes and cover vast areas with water. But, rivers can affect the places positively too by giving a place for people to get fresh fish to eat from and also to help people make a good career on the sea. Also, Rivers can have a beautiful sight and cause many tourists and the region can make more money. Rivers can have a good and a bad impact on any region.
1.The most important rivers in this region flow through china. These waters carry a lot of loess, or yellow- brown soil. The river Huang He is referred to as “China’s sorrow”, because they regularly flood and have drown many people. The Chang Jiang is another great Asian river that flows through many gorges. China is also building a dam on the Chang Jiang.
2.They positively help because they encourage farming. A bad thing is that they flood and can cause damage and death. They support hydroelectric power also. A bad thing they cause or encourage is pollution. The rivers have both positive and negative effects on this region.
1. Loess is a yellow-brown soil, and the Huang He has tons of fine loess. Huang He means ‘Yellow River’. This river leaves a lot of soil by the water so the North China Plain is a major wheat growing area. The Chang Jiang is the longest river in Asia. It is 3,400 miles long (I can’t even imagine swimming that far in a life time). It flows throw gorges (a fancy word for canyons), because it might be hard to go over them if you were water. 2. These rivers can leave fertile soil for plants to grow and feed the population, or whatever is left of it after they drown. You can take baths and wash away the ‘wastes’ in the river, but it might taste bad after a while. But overall the people will be safe (hopefully).
The most important rivers in East Asia flow through China. The Huang He River is northern China’s major river system. It is called the “Yellow River” because it carries tons of yellow-brown soil called loess, which blows in from deserts in western China. The Huang He River has regularly flooded the land, destroying homes and drowning many people. The Chinese called the Huang He “China’s sorrow.”
The positive effects are you get water for the area, and it makes the North China Plain a major wheat-growing area. The negative effects are if you fall in, the currents might suck you in and you would drown. If not you would cling to the edge with water having water or other people knock you away. The other bad thing about it is flooding (so if you don’t take baths often, keep a bar of soap in your pocket and live in this area). It might be hassles to live in the area because of these reasons, but if you follow the rules, one or two of them anyway, you will be safe, (hopefully).
The most important rivers flow right through China. When the river water deposits the rich soil makes Northern China a huge wheat growing area. The Chang Jiang is Asia’s longest river flowing at 3,400 miles. The Chinese built a huge dam on the Chang Jiang that is 607 feet tall and 1.4 miles wide. This dam is to prevent floods and supply a large amount of hydroelectric power.
The positives about the rivers are that the Yellow River brings in tons of yellow brown soil called loess that blows from the deserts in Western China. And that soil makes Northern China a great place to grow wheat. Also the oceans ships can go far upriver and barges that carry goods and will go farther places. The bad is that the Chang Jiang floods which doesn’t help anything it just destroys homes. So that is why they built the biggest dam in the world to prevent that from happening.
