Asia

Climates in the Asia region.

The Southern sections of Asia are warm to cold, while far north-eastern areas such as Siberia are very cold. East Asia has a temperateclimate. The highest temperature recorded in Asiawas 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) at Tirat Zvi, Israel on June 21, 1942.

Flora in the Asian region.

Asia has the richest flora of the earth’s seven continents. Because Asia is the largest continent, it is not surprising that 100,000 different kinds of plants grow within its various climate zones, which range from tropical to Arctic.
Asian plants, which include ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering vascular plants, make up 40 percent of the earth’s plant species. The endemic plant species come from more than forty plant families and fifteen hundred genera. 

Asia is divided into five major vegetation regions based on the richness and types of each region’s flora: tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia, temperate mixed forests in East Asia, tropical rain/ dry forests in South Asia, desert and steppe in Central and West Asia, and taiga and tundra in North Asia.

Fauna in the Asia region.

All the animals living in Asia and its surrounding seas and islands are considered the fauna of Asia. Asia is the eastern part of the Palaearctic ecozone (which in turn is part of the Holarctic), and its south-eastern part belongs to the Indomalaya ecozone (previously called the Oriental region).

Mountain Ranges in the Asian region.

Several significant mountain ranges stretch across Asia. Include the Altay, Gahats, Himalayan, Kunlun, Tien Shan, Ural and Zagros Mountains.

River Systems in the Asia region.

Dozens of significant rivers rise in Asia. Here we highlight a few on the map and (briefly) describe some of the most significant ones, including the Ganges, Indus, Lena, Mekong, Ob, Yangtze and Yellow.

Earthquake patterns in the Asian region.

The reason there are so many earthquakes in South East Asia is very simple, there are two reasons, Tectonic plates, and the Ring of Fire. The Tectonic plates actually make the ring of fire so it’s mostly tectonic plates. There are two main Tectonic Plates, the Eurasian plate, and the Philippine Plate; these two are constantly rubbing each other making more quakes. The Ring of Fire is made of the Pacific plate and the North America plate.

Asia’s environment can be explained a lot these few points were talking about a bit of something that got to do with the Asian environments.
