1. Summarize the section found on pages 696-697. 2. Answer the following question: How do monsoons affect East Asia and why do people still live in these areas, given the harsh climates?
The climate is dry in northern and far western parts of East Asia. The weather pattern of dry summer followed by a harsh winter is called a dzud. The Mongolians fear dzud conditions. Places in East Asia are dry because they receive little rain fall. The name Gobi is Mongolian for “place without water”.
Monsoons affect this area because of the strong winds. This could be part of the reason this area is so dry. Monsoons also carry little water with them so it doesn’t bring any water, so you could be blown away with the strong winds. Some of the islands could get moisture though because it drops most of its moisture far from inland. This is a few ways life can be effected by monsoons.
The weather is dry in the northern and western parts of East Asia. In the summer dry continental air blows across Asia from the west. In winter, even the cold carries very little moisture. In advanced to this, monsoons winds from the Pacific have gotten rid of it by the time it reaches the inlands. Mongolia and northern China get just enough rainfall to make a steppe climate. Grasslands grow here even though it’s a dry climate. The weather pattern of a dry summer followed by a harsh winter is called a dzud. Many Mongolians fear this because it decreases the amount of food for their herds.
Monsoons affect East Asia by their strong winds. This makes East Asia a very dry climate. When the monsoons blow through this area its moisture has already been left behind in East Asia’s inlands. This is the reason why this area has tough times getting water for their herds and crops. Some people still live here because there other climates in this region as well.
The climate in northern and far western parts of East Asia is very dry. Monsoon winds from the Pacific have released all their moisture by the time they reach inland areas. Most of Mongolia and northern China receive only enough rain to create a steppe climate. Grassland grows in this dry climate which supports cattle, sheep, goats, and camels. The mountains surrounding East Asia block moisture. Gobi means a place with no water.
In East Asia the monsoons release moisture before they get to the inland areas. These are winds that make the climate dry. They do not bring them very much water if any at all. The monsoons are a very big impact on them. The reason they stay is for the Steppe climate. They are able have livestock like cattle. They also can have sheep and goats.
The climate is dry in the northern and far western parts of East Asia. The reason why is because of continental air blowing across Asia coming from the west. While this is happening the monsoons are releasing their moisture. Mongolia and Northern China get barley enough rain to be called a steppe climate. The weather pattern of a dry summer followed by a harsh winter is called a dzud from the people of Mongolia. The Mongolians fear the dzud condition because then the dry summer cannot support the herds, which then would get them weak, and not be able to survive the winter. Some areas here are extremely dry from lack of rain through out the year. There is a Gobi that extends from Southern Mongolia and Northern China. The word Gobi means place without water.
The monsoon affects the climate because the cool winds from the Pacific making the summer have less rain and the winter being significantly harsher. The people still live here because for some of them it could be their home and not want to leave. Others could have livestock that cannot live in any other conditions. If I were a herder and my animals were dying because of the harsh conditions I think I would move but some that is their choice. And some places may not have water like the part of Southern Mongolia that would tough with no major river flowing through.
