F2 - SEM1 - The Trouble of Water - 2.3 Flashcards
What is Monsoons?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
winds that change directions seasonally
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
How monsoons are formed?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
monsoons are formed by differences in the heating of land and sea
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
In China, where are the monsoon regions?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
Eastern and Southern of China
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
How does monsoons affect water sources?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
lots of rainfall in monsoon region
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
How are monsoons formed in the Summer?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
- duration of isolation is long => intensity of sunshine is high
- land absorbs heat faster than the sea => hot air rises => form a low-pressure area
- sea has lower temperature => the air to sink => form a high-pressure area
- wind blows from high pressure area to low pressure area => form SE and SW monsoons
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
How are monsoons formed in the Winter?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
- duration of isolation is short => Intensity of sunshine is low
- land loses heat faster than the sea => cold air sink => form a high-pressure area.
- sea has high temperature => the air to rise => form a low-pressure area.
- winds blows from high pressure area to low pressure area => form NW monsoons
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
How is the “distance from the sea” affect the water resources?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
Place located closer to the sea receive more rainfall
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
In China, what bring abundant rainfall to the coastal regions in Summer?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
onshore winds and typhoons
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
What happens when the wind gradually moves inland (increase the distance from the sea)?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
wind gradually loses moisture
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
In China, which part has a wetter climate? which part has a drier climate?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
wetter in SE China (near coastal)
drier in NW China (away from coastal)
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
In China, where are high mountains mostly found?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
Western China
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
In China, how the Relief affects the water distribution?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
high mountains block the moist onshore winds blow from Indian Ocean
The air becomes dry when it reaches NW China
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
Wind blows from ____ pressure area to ____ pressure area
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
Win blow from high pressure area to low pressure area
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
What does onshore monsoon wind bring?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
rainfall
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
What does offshore monsoon wind bring?
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
dry weather
2.3 Why are the water resources in China distributed in such a way
