Climate & Environment Review South Asia (23.2 & 25.2)

Tropical Climates Location: Vegetation: W & S India; Sri Lanka; E & S Bangladesh Vegetation: TRF has wide variety…duh… (bamboo, mango, & other unique types) Sundarbans have lgst. mangrove swamp (Bang.) Alternating wet & dry seasons are heightened in S. Asia

Sundarbans Mangrove swamp Dark green area One of largest Bengal tiger reserves

Subtropical Climates Location: Vegetation: N & E India, N Bangladesh, S Nepal & Bhutan (borders highlands) Vegetation: Mostly mixed forests (dry and tropical)

Highlands Climates Location: Vegetation: North (Himalaya & Karakoram) Based on elevation High- always has snow, little life Mid- more temperate, mixed forests Low- (foothills) grassland, bamboo

Kangchenjunga (Nepal & India) K2 (Pakistan & China) Kangchenjunga (Nepal & India) Red panda (NE India, Himalayan foothills) Sivalik Hills (Nepal & Pakistan)

Dry Climates Location: Vegetation: Desert: Along Indus River (Pak); Great Indian Desert (Thar Desert) Steppe: Deccan Plateau Vegetation: Scrub, low grasses Some deciduous forests

Tanks for drinking water Camel caravan (India) Road in Pakistan Tanks for drinking water Johad- man made pond (water source)

Monsoons Dry season: Hot season: Wet season: Oct to Feb Winds from N/NE (over land)…ARIDITY Hot season: Feb to June Temps rise, wind direction changes Wet season: July to Sept Winds from S/SW bring ocean air…RAIN

Monsoon Rains Rains come from S/SW Sweep across G-B delta Hit Himalaya & are blocked Move west to Ganges Plain

Monsoon clouds over N India Calcutta Streets in New Delhi Monsoon clouds over N India Flooded paddies in Bangladesh Slums in Karachi

Natural Disasters Constant hot temps: Monsoons: Cyclones: Good= year round growing season Bad= higher evaporation/ dry out soil Monsoons: Good= lots of rain to water crops Bad= too much dry air, or too much rain (flooding) Cyclones: “Hurricane” in the Indian Ocean

Environmental Problems Wildlife Losing land to deforestation and irrigation; over hunting (tourists & farmers…why?) Reserves are being created, stricter laws, and financial incentives for cooperation Daddy & cub in park in India Elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka

Environmental Problems Ganges R. Water 80% of Indians have NO access to clean water Worse in Pak. & Bang.! Some battle flooding while others face droughts need for dams Problems with dams? Narmada River debate Portion of dam on Narmada R.

Environmental Problems Forests Name 5 causes of deforestation in S. Asia… Name 4 effects of deforestation in S. Asia… Chipko movement (70s): Teaches impt. of trees Provides seedlings for reforestation Pushes govn’t action

Environmental Problems Silt Erosion Coastal areas/deltas face severe flooding displace 2 billion tons of silt each year People constantly moving homes Using satellite imaging to find solution
