  1. Patterns of South Asia World Geography, Unit 9, Lesson 1

  2. Physical Terrain and Settlement • Mountains can act as a barrier for settlement. • In what ways have people overcome this barrier? World Geography, Unit 9, Lesson 1

  3. Climates affect settlement in many ways. How so? Climate and Settlement World Geography, Unit 9, Lesson 1

  4. Location of Water • River Systems serve two major purposes: • Transportation • Irrigation World Geography, Unit 9, Lesson 1

  5. Technology and Settlement How does technology serve as a resource? World Geography, Unit 9, Lesson 1

  6. Settlement Patterns • Settlement patterns of South Asia are tied to the distribution of resources, water, climate and physical features. • The Ganges River Basin is the most notable example of this, but there are other physical factors that affect the settlement patterns of South Asia, including climate and location of resources.

  7. Critical Thinking • The physical environment and distribution of resources affects settlement patterns and economic and political activity. • — How do the physical environment and location of resources affect the distribution of settlements in South Asia? • — How do the physical environment and location of resources affect the political and economic activities of South Asia?

  8. Landform Regions of South Asia • Himalayas • The Ganges River Basin • The Indus River Basin • The Deccan Plateau

  9. Himalayas

  10. Tectonic Forces

  11. Ganges River Basin

  12. Flooding

  13. Indus River

  14. Deccan Plateau

  15. Climates • Monsoons to the South and East; seasons of heavy rainfall. • Dry climates to the west (in Pakistan). • Highland climates in the north (Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan).

  16. MONSOONS • To the people of India, the monsoons are a source of life. • Seasonal reversal of winds that brings heavy rainfall. • General onshore movement in summer. • General offshore flow in winter. • Very distinctive seasonal precipitation

  17. POTENTIALLY NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF MONSOONS • Widespread flooding • Property damage • Destruction to agricultural lands • Damage to transportation infrastructure • Homelessness • Disease • Malnutrition • Serious injury • Death

  18. Natural Hazards in South Asia • Earthquakes • Monsoons and Flooding • Drought and Fires • Tsunamis • Typhoons

  19. S. Asia Earthquakes

  20. Tsunamis

  21. Typhoon/Cyclone
