1. Create an HEI page after your last physical geography page.

3. Problems in China that require HEI
1. Earthquakes
2. Lack of Arable Land – Desertification

4. Intro Clips - L
1. Earthquakes – Explain why these are problems.
2. Desertification – How would this impact a city economically?

5. Desertification Clips
1. How would these sandstorms affect a region economically?
2. What is China doing to fight its desertification situation?

6. Human-Environment Interaction, How do people adapt in Japan?
Earthquakes in East Asia
Human-Environment Interaction, How do people adapt in Japan?

7. Why is Japan affected by internal forces?
A. The islands of Japan were created by the movement of plate tectonics.
B. Still active, Japan is affected by volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis.
Mt. Fuji in Japan last erupted in 1707

8. The Ring of Fire
Using the map on pg. 662, which East Asian country has the greatest concentration of active volcanoes?
(Answer this question in your notebook)

9. Human Environment Interaction and Levels of Development
In East and Southeast Asia people have to modify and adapt to the environment.
Modifications and adaptations are directly related to their economic development.
The more developed the area the more advanced their adaptations/modifications.
The less developed areas have less advanced adaptations/modifications.
READ ONLY

10. What has Japan done to prepare for future earthquakes or tsunamis?
Established strict building codes.
School children and adults participate every year in disaster drills.
Skyscrapers are built on gyroscopes (springs).
Tsunami warning system in the Pacific.

11. Adapting to Plate Tectonics
In more developed areas Skyscrapers are built on gyroscopes (springs).

12. Adapting to Plate Tectonics
Less developed areas buildings are on pilings.
Pilings are made of wood.

13. Lack of Arable Land - Intro
Another problem in E/SE Asia is a lack of arable land.
Arable land  land suitable for farming
HEI – they adapt to a lack of arable land…here’s how

14. Lack of Arable Land
Less developed areas use terraced farming- farming on ledges, on the side of the hill.
Planting on slopes allows otherwise unproductive land to be use for farming.
Both developed and developing areas of the world use terraced farming
Use traditional farming techniques, little or no machinery.

15. COPY WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX
Lack of Arable Land
Both Developed and developing nations use terraced farming
Developing areas - use traditional farming techniques, little or no machinery.

16. COPY WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX
Lack of Arable Land
Land Reclamation-bringing land damaged by natural or human causes back into use for farming
Developed nations only – too expensive

17. COPY WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX
Lack of Arable Land
Heilongjiang Land Reclamation Project (China) – increasing farmland on land that was once swamp or semi-arid
Why:
Crucial to ensuring China's food security
Uses the most advanced farming techniques and machines in the world

18. Heilongjiang Land Reclamation Project
- READ THE SLIDE AND COMPLETE THE QUESTIONS BELOW ON THE BACK OF YOUR WORKSHEET.
- ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCES OR WRITE THE QUESTIONS
The project would develop some 200,000 ha of virgin land in Heilongjiang Province for the production of food grains and soybean. Principal features of the project would be drainage works; larger and more modern agricultural machinery for full mechanization of farming operations; construction equipment; and provision of roads, housing and supporting infrastructure. Training in equipment operation and maintenance and in construction techniques would be provided together with technical assistance (78 man-months of consultant services) in the fields of planning, training, and seed production. The project would produce more than 440,000 tons of grain and soybean annually, and thereby help reduce China's food grain deficit. It would serve as a large-scale trial and demonstration of techniques applicable to an additional 470,000 ha of uncultivated land and some 2 million ha now cultivated by state farms in Heilongjiang.
