Terrain characteristics: The terrain types are complex and diverse, mainly plateaus and mountains

Terrain characteristics: large undulations, high in the middle, and low in the surrounding area

Pay attention to conceptual distinction: terrain, terrain area, terrain

Characteristics of rivers: Affected by the terrain, rivers in Asia mostly originate from plateaus and mountains in the central region, flowing radially to the surrounding oceans. The huge difference in height in Asia has led to a large drop in many large rivers, which contains rich water energy resources.

Rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean: Ob River, Yenisei River, Lena River

Rivers injected into the Pacific Ocean: Yellow River, Yangtze River, Mekong River

Rivers injected into the Indian Ocean: Ganges, Indus

Outflow River: The river that ends up in the ocean

Tarim River, Amu River, Sir River

The monsoon climate is significant, the continental climate is widely distributed, and the climate types are diverse

2020: 4.64 billion (more than the total population in other continents)

Countries with a population of over 100 million: China, India, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan

High population density (such as: East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia) Note: Asia accounts for 1/3 of the world's land, feeds 3/5 of the world's population.

Sparse population (such as: North Asia, Central Asia, West Asia)

The lower the population growth rate in Asia is than the world average population growth rate

Large population base, with a large proportion of new population in the world

Asia ranks first in all continents in terms of economic output

By population average: Asia is only higher than South America and Africa, and much lower than Europe, North America and Oceania

The Asian economy continues to develop. In recent decades, Asian countries have strengthened economic cooperation and complementary advantages and win-win results.

Japan and South Korea are developed countries with high economic development level

Some emerging industrialized countries in East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia are developing rapidly

Some oil exporters in West Asia have a high level of economic development

Some countries with agriculture-based economic development levels are relatively low

The natural, social and historical conditions of different countries vary greatly, and economic development is uneven.
