    1. China & Mongolia By Felix Belevan Angel Cabrera

    2. Physical Coordinates Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 2 China 35 00 N, 105 00 E Mongolia 46 00 N, 105 00 E

    3. Days & Nights China time difference: UTC+8 (13 hours ahead of Washington, DC during Standard Time) note: despite its size, all of China falls within one time zone Mongolia time difference: UTC+8 (13 hours ahead of Washington, DC during Standard Time) Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 3

    4. Locations in reference Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 4

    5. Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 5

    6. Rocks & Minerals China coal, iron ore, petroleum, natural gas, tin, tungsten, antimony, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, magnetite, aluminum, lead, zinc, uranium Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 6

    7. Rocks & Minerals Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 7 Mongolia oil, coal, copper, molybdenum, tungsten, phosphates, tin, nickel, zinc, fluorspar, gold, silver, iron

    8. Plate Tectonics of the Area China the continent is a product of complex, long-term interaction between the Siberia, Tarim, North China, Yangtze, South China, Indian and Pacific palaeoplates plus other relatively small plates or blocks. Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 8

    9. Plate Tectonics of the Area Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 9 China Along the converging margins of these plates, fold zones formed as a result of the plate collisions, whereas in the centers of the plates, basins and plains were developed because of stable tectonic settings and sedimentation

    10. Plate Tectonics of the Area Regional geology: The geology of Mongolia is complex geological maps reveal the variety and complexity of rock types and structures, with representatives of all geological ages from Precambrian to Tertiary The rocks record successive episodes of terrane accretions and consequent deformation. These tectonic boundaries encompass plates: collections of smaller terranes which formed as continental fragments were successively plastered against, and welded together Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 10 Mongolia here are hot springs as a result of shifting plate tectonics

    11. Chinas Terrain Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 11 mostly mountains high plateaus, deserts in west plains, deltas, and hills in east High possibility of earthquakes

    12. Mongolias Terrain Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 12 Much of eastern Mongolia is occupied by a plain, and the lowest area is a southwest-to-northeast trending depression that reaches from the Gobi Desert region in the south to the eastern frontier.

    13. The Highs & Lows Mongolia lowest point: Hoh Nuur 518 m .286 PSI highest point: Nayramadlin Orgil (Huyten Orgil) 4,374 m 2.43 PSI Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 13 China lowest point: Turpan Pendi -154 m .085 PSI highest point: Mount Everest 8,850 m 4.9 PSI

    15. Carbon Dioxide Levels Mongolia 97nth in world 8,553 in thousands of metric tons Percentage of total emissions in reference to world: Less than 0.1% Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 15 China 2nd in the world 5,010,170 in thousands of metric tons Percentage of total emissions in reference to world: 18.4%

    16. Carbon Dioxide Levels Country Side (Mongolia) more plants and trees which act as air filterers less cars, factories less respiration Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 16 City side (China) more car emissions and factory fumes less plants to filter out the CO2 more respiration

    17. Wind Patterns in Area Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 17

    18. Wind Patterns in Area Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 18 The enormous expanse of Asia and its abundance of mountain barriers and inland depressions have resulted in great differences between regions in solar radiation, atmospheric circulation, precipitation, and climate as a whole.

    19. Humidity in Areas Mongolia Choir Humidity:71% Ulan Bator Humidity:63% Altai Humidity:42% Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 19 China Hong Kong Humidity: 94% Beijing Humidity: 44% Shanghai Humidity:77%

    20. Climate Zones in China The Nanling overlooks the part of China where a tropical climate permits two crops of rice to be grown each year. Subtropical in the south to subarctic in the north. Monsoon winds, caused by differences in the heat-absorbing capacity of the continent and the ocean, dominate the climate. Alternating seasonal air-mass movements and accompanying winds are moist in summer and dry in winter Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 20

    21. Climate Zones in China Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 21 The advance and retreat of the monsoons account in large degree for the timing of the rainy season and the amount of rainfall throughout the country. Very humid. Tremendous differences in latitude, longitude, and altitude give rise to sharp variations in precipitation and temperature within China. Although most of the country lies in the temperate belt, its climatic patterns are complex thus China has both marine or continental climates.

    22. Climate Zones in Mongolia Mongolia's weather is characterized by extreme variability and short-term unpredictability in the summer, and the multiyear averages conceal wide variations in precipitation, dates of frosts, and occurrences of blizzards and spring dust storms. Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 22 Mongolia is high, cold, and dry. It has an extreme continental climate with long, cold winters and short summers, during which most precipitation falls. Average temperatures over most of the country are below freezing from November through March and are about freezing in April and October. Summer extremes reach as high as 38 C in the southern Gobi region and 33 C in Ulaanbaatar. Most of Mongolia is covered by discontinuous permafrost (grading to continuous at high altitudes)

    23. Climate Zones in Mongolia Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 23 Known as "the land of blue sky", Mongolia is a remarkable sunny country enjoying 250 sunny days a year. Mongolia has warm summers and extremely cold winters. The country has the world's most typical continental climate with extreme diurnal and annual ranges of temperature. Some of the most dramatic examples we see come from retreating glaciers in high mountains or melting polar ice sheets.

    24. Ocean Bordering China Pacific Ocean Salinity varies by latitude. The water near the equator is less salty than that found in the mid-latitudes Poleward of the temperate latitudes salinity is low, because little evaporation of seawater takes place in these frigid areas. Mongolia Landlocked Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 24

    25. Weather Disturbances Mongolia dust storms grassland and forest fires harsh winter conditions earthquakes in the north and west Zud (extreme winter conditions) Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 25 China frequent typhoons damaging floods Tsunamis earthquakes droughts

    26. Biomes of Area Mongolia Taiga (a subarctic, barren coniferous forest) Gobi (desert) Central Steppe (a dry grassy plain) Altai (mountains and valleys) Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 26 China Deciduous Forest Biome temperate grassland Desert temperate forests

    27. China Population Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 27 China 1,330,044,605 Post-productive Growth in area 0.629% Nation is trying to stabilize itself due to the high cost of living

    28. Mongolia Population Mongolia 2,996,081 Reproductive Growth in area 1.493% Nation is growing, and demanding more resources Felix Belevan, Angel Cabrera MWF 8:00 28
