Part I Land and Water

Magnificent Landforms 2/3 of China are made out of mountains and deserts. More than one billion people live in China. India crashed into China making the Himalayan mountains which contains the biggest mountains in the world like Mt. Everest. DesertsThe Himalayan mountains

Rivers of China There are two main rivers in China; the Chang Jiang river and the Huang He river. Many people live by the Huang He river because it goes by the North China Plain which has the most fertile soil in China. The Chang Jiang river is connected to the East China Sea. It is 6300km long and very deep so it is the only river that cargo ships can go through. Huang He River Chang Jiang River

Part II Climate and Vegetation

Dramatic Climate Changes China’s climate is humid and subtropical which means China has boiling summers, freezing winters, and a lot of rain. There are scary winds called monsoons. It summons rainfalls called drizzles. Plants in China are well adjusted to China’s extreme climate changes so they can stand almost any kind of weather. Cold Hot

China’s vegetation The north China plain is the best place to farm because it has the most fertile soil in China. Some people use double cropping which means growing two kinds of vegetables at once. This prevents the soil from losing only one kind of mineral. They also use terraces. Terraces are what you do to make steep hillsides like staircases so you can grow a different plant on each stair. Double Cropping

Part III Natural Resources

Minerals China has the most natural resources in East Asia. Resources like copper, tin and iron were mined in China for 2000 years. China has almost the most coal in the world. China has a lot of resources, but they don’t have some resources they really need so they need to import them from other countries. Coal

Forests and Wood There are a lot of forests in China and other parts in East Asia. Usable wood resources have been decreased because in the past people didn’t really care about planting trees back when people cut trees down. Wood is still needed to be imported from some countries.

Water resources In some parts in China there are power plants that produce hydroelectricity which is electricity produced by running water. The Pacific Ocean is a great huge bag of resources. It is full of fish that we eat. People in China also use this thing called aquaculture (A.K.A Sea farming) which is getting fish in this large cage. By this you can get fish and other kinds of underwater resources. China gets twice as many freshwater fish than any other country. Hydroelectricity Aquaculture

Part IX Historic Traditions

China’s historic traditions China has been staying for a very long time, so it is the oldest continuous countries in the world. The Great Wall of China, built before the 206 B.C was made to keep invaders away. China thought they had the greatest civilization in the world because they made paper, gunpowder, clockwork, magnetic compasses, and more. In the Ancient times, China was ruled by a emperor ( A type of ruler in china). There is this thing called a dynasty which is a family with a series of rulers. The Great Wall of China

Korea and China When China had troubles in about 1200 B.C several Chinese people went to the Korean Peninsula. After a while more Chinese people migrated to the south part of the Korean Peninsula.

Foreign Countries coming Buddhism from India was adopted by China. Later on Buddhism was known to Japan and Korea. An Italian man named Marco Polo came to China in about the 13th century. He saw China and went back to his country talking about the gold and silver walls, burning coal to make their houses warm. While Chinese people blamed about their emperor for some reason, Japan became stronger. The Nationalists and the Communists had a civil war after W.W II. The Communists won. Buddha Marco Polo

Part X People and Culture

Several Changes The Chinese government was controlled by the Communists in It made huge changes to China. Communists forced families to have one child to give the child special privileges and to slow down China’s population. Once the government made the farmers from everywhere in China work together, so they needed to work with someone they didn’t know. The government noticed not enough food products were made, so they gave farmers their private land back. At this point the Communists let women have freedom of choice: to choose her husband, elect the president, etc.

The Han and other ethnic groups The Han was a ethnic group meaning they speak different versions of Chinese. 93% of the Chinese people are in a ethnic group called the Han and 7% of Chinese people are in several different ethnic groups. China’s Ethnic Groups

Part XI China’s Transformation

Traditions and Changes. When China was controlled by the communists, they had few American friends so the U.S was standing for the Nationalists. Communists had problems with ruling China because most Chinese people were poor. In the 1950s this hero leader call Mao Zedong made extreme changes China. By forcing people to work in large communes China could quickly increase productions and this was called The Great Leap Forward. Mao Zedong The Great Leap Forward

The Red Guard Mao Zedong made this band of students called the Red Guard in These Red Guards broke China’s ancient and important buildings, imprisoned lawyers, teachers, and did other horrible stuff. Finally, for vanquishing Mao Zedong’s government the Red Guard was put in jail.

Taiwan Growing The Nationalists fled to an island in the south east called Taiwan, after they lost against the Communists. The Nationalists made this thing called free enterprise, which is letting people choosing their own jobs, start private businesses, etc.
