The Malay Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago Stretch from mainland Southeast Asia almost all the way to Australia.

An archipelago is a large group of islands.

What oceans border this region? Indian Ocean Pacific Ocean

Six countries make up this region: Brunei East Timor Indonesia Malaysia The Philippines Singapore

Island Southeast Asia contains more than 20,000 islands.

Some of these islands are the largest in the world. Only Greenland is bigger than the island of New Guinea.

Borneo is the world’s third largest island.

There are many tall mountains on the large islands.

The region has intense tectonic activity. It lies along several tectonic plate boundaries, and there are frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Volcanic islands have formed fro the ocean floor. Java has 13 active volcanoes.

Much of the region has a tropical humid climate. Rainfall is heavy most of the year – 80 – 100 inches! Typhoons bring heavy rain to the region.

Only areas with highland climate have cool weather. Inland Borneo and Irian Jaya have highland climates.

The tropical rainforests of the region have many endemic species. Endemic species means those native to a certain area. Komodo Dragon Javan rhinoceros Orangutan

The Wallace Line English naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace observed for 8 years the birds on the islands of Bali and Lombok, which are only 20 miles apart.

He found that the birds on Bali are similar to those in Java, mainland Malaysia, and Sumatra. The birds on Lombok were similar to those on New Guinea and Australia.

He drew a line called now “The Wallace Line” When Pangaea broke apart – Australia, New Zealand, and other islands became isolated. The plant and animal life that evolved there is unique.

The region has rich fisheries and fertile volcanic soil. Rubber tree plantations are important in some countries.
