The Five Themes of Geography
:Location
Position on the Eartht Surface
Location can be described in two ways. Relative location refers to the location ofa place in
relation to another place. Absolute location (exact locnion) is usually expressed in degrees
of longitude and latitude.
The islands ofJapan ale located between the Sea ofJapan and the
Pacific Ocean, on the eastern side ofthe Asian continent.
Tokyo, Japan, is located at 36"N latirude, 140"E longitude.

in the characteristics that distinguish
location. It can be described in
physical characteristics such as water and landforms, climate, etc., or in hurnan
characteristics such as languages spoken, religion, government, etc.

Humans and the Environment
This theme includes studies ofhorv people deper.rd on the environment, how people adapt
to and change the envilonment, ar.rd the impact oftechnology on the environment. Cities,
roads, planted fields, and terraced hillsides are all examples of mant malk on a place. A
place's mark on man is reflected ir.r the kind of homes built, the clothing worn, the work
done, and the foods eaten.
The use ofirrigation in Indja has increased the country's average yearly

Human Interactions on the Eath
Movement describes and analyzes the changing patterns caused by human interactions on
the Eartht surface. Everything moves. People migrate, goods are transporred, and ideas are
exchanged. Modern technology connects people worldwide through advanced forms of
communication.
There has been a shift ofpopulation to cities in marry pans ofAsia.
This shift, plus increased industrialization, has resulted in major air pollution
in tle urban areas.

How They Form and Change
Regions are a way to describe and compare places. A region is defined by its common
characteristics ald/or features. It might be a geographic region, an economic region, or a
cultural region.
Geographic region: Indonesia consists entirely of islands.
Economic region: The OPEC countries produce most of tle oil used by Japan.
Cultural region: Arabic is the official language of sweral countries in southwest Asia.

work as a class to complete the activiry, or reproduce the
appropriate almanac page for individual students. (Be sure
to check copyright notations before reproducing pages.)
. You have several almanacs or atlases.
Students work in small groups with one resource per
groupJ or rotate students through a center to complete
the work.
" You have a class set ofalmanacs or atlases.

The Himalaya Mountain range contains many of the highest mountajns in the world'
The mountain range stretches for 1600 miles (2575 krii from the border between India and
Pakistan to the border between India and Myanmar. Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in
the world. In fact, nine ofthe world's tallest mountains are in the Himalayas.
The Himr1a1.a Mountains are so tall they have sweral very diflerent plant and climatic
zones. The highest regions ofthe Himalayas are extremely cold and isolated. Only a few
high valleys are occupied. The growing season there is very short. In the middle levels ofthe
Himalayas there are forest-covered mountains and fertile valleys, Since there are lew roads'
only the major population centers are linked ro the principal cities ofsurrounding countries.
The lower level offoothilk and adioining valleys have been cleared and are used for
agriculture.

Gobi Deserl
The Gobi Desert is about 1000 miles (1610 km) fiom east to west and about 600 miles
(970 krr.r) from north to south. It covers much of Mongolia. It is located on a plateau beween
high mountains. The southeastern portion is waterless, but the remainder ofthe desert does

men-rbers involved in agriculture to share what they know
about the gtowing and selling ofcrops and ljvestock.
Divide students into smallgroups. Have each group select
three countries in Asia. The groups are ro compile lists ofthe

There are many small farms where crops are grown prirnarily for family use, with some
items taken to market to ttacle or sell. Jn some ateas crops ate also grown commercially.

Adult males are about 4.5 feet (1.4 m) tall. This is
twice the size of an adult female. Males have an air
sac hanging down from their throats. This air sac
can be inflated and used to make a call that can be
heard at great distances in the forest. Orangutans
are covered in reddish-brown hair
Females and their young travel in small groups
looking for food during rhe day. Males generallv live
alone and are very territorial. At nighr orangutans
build individual sleeping platforms in the forks of
tall trees, using branches and leaves.

The People of Asia
Asia is a huge continent with a wide variety of ethnic
groups. In fact, there are more ethnic grorLps in Asia than
on any other continent. Each group has its own histoly,
cultute, and customs.
Where Do They Live?
In most Asian countries, rhe majority of people still live
in small rural settlements. But this is changing, as rhere
has been rapid growth in cities. In a ferv countries, Japan
for example, the majority ofpeople live in cities.
In the northern and central parrs of the conrinent, much of rhe land has a Jor,v population.
The majority ofpeople live in rhe southeast part ofAsia. Mosr people in these areas live
along rivers or other transportation sources such as railroads.
* Think of a reason why so few people live in the nonhern and central parts of the continent.
What Languages Do They Speak?
Chinese is the most commonly spoken language in Asia. It has been taught to all the
people of China to aide communicarion in a counrry rvith over 50 different ethnic
groups speaking many different languages. Most countries have one or somecimes two
official languages, but other languages are spoken by various ethr.ric gloups living in

Games People Play
As people travel or migrate to new countries, they carry with them many aspects of their
culture. Favorite foods, music, religious beliefs, and traditions are carried along witl.r
household and personal belongings. Children carry parts oftheir culture too. The
following games are played in Asia. Do they remind you of games vou have played? Manv
versions of some games have moved around the world. The games may have different
names and slightly different rules, but the basic gan.res remain the sarrte. Follorv the
dilections to play these games from India with your classmates.
Paandi (Paahn-DEE)
Paandi is from India. It is played the
same way as hopscotch. The "court"
can be drau n in nno different u.rys.
staft
ln rhe first round, each player throws a stone on the first space (then the second space,
third space, and so on) and hops back and forth on one foot, avoiding the space with the
stone. In the second round, each player throws the stone to claim a "home." The player's
initials are written in the home space. Then the game is played as in the first round,
except Player Two cannot st€p on Player One's home, and vice versa. Note that each time
a playel has completed a full round successfully, he or she claims an additional home
space. The game is over when no one can complete a round. The player wirh the most
home spaces is the winner.
Pagade (Puh-6ah-DE)
This garne is a popular board game in India among children of all ages. lt is similar to the
Amelican game Sorryl6. These directions are for a simplified versior.r of Pagade. You will
need a game board, dice, and playing pieces (pawns).
1. Place youl four pawns at "stan." The object ofthe game is to get all ofyour playcrs
around the entire board countercloclavise and into the "home" space.
2. On your turn, roll the dice. Find rhe sum of the numbers shown on the dice. Move one
pawn that many spaces. Or', move one pawn the number ofspaces ol1 the fi$t die and
another pawn the nu.mber on the second die. (lfyou roll two blanhs, you cannot
move for rhat turn aL pla1.)
3. Ifyou land on a space occupied by an opponent)s pawnr your opponentt parvn is sent
back to "start." I[two ofyour pawns ar€ on the same space, they are called a "pair'." A pair
can send a single pawn back to "start," but only a pair can send another pair back. Pairs
can play together ifyou roll a double. Pairs can split up anltime.

Border Changes-USSR
Vhen studying older
maps you may find that the names and boundaries of countries
are different than on current maps. A few years ago, a major change was made in Asia.
The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) was a huge Communist country in
northern Asia. In 1991 major changes had to be made to maps ofAsia-the USSRno
