Celebrations

• Celebrations are like festivals and

traditions. For example, Chinese

New Year is a festival and a

celebration, whereas The Buddha’s

Birthday is a tradition and a

celebration because it celebrates the

day Buddha went to heaven and it is

a sort of tradition to celebrate it.

Customs

• Respect over elderly is a custom in China. Many others have been there or added in by Westerners. Greetings are very common in China, although handshakes are relatively new. Bringing gifts is also a good custom.

Mountains

Mountains • A large part of China is made

up of high plateau that is broken up by mountain ranges.

• Because the plateau’s height average is about 4,000 metres, it is sometimes called the roof of the world. Much of the mountainous ranges are uninhabited because of the lack of oxygen and the cold climate, resulting in a place very bad for crops.

Deserts

Deserts• In China, there is so little

rain fall in China that there are large areas of desert. Along the old desert route between China and central Asia (the Silk Road), oases supply water to help farmers grow crops.

Rivers• Many floods are occurring

in rivers between Beijing and Shanghai. This has caused a lot more deaths than anywhere in the world, so it has been nicknamed ‘China’s sorrow’. Many dams are in place, but deaths are still occurring.

Coastline

• Many rivers interconnect with others and the ocean. If a meteorite were to strike the earth’s oceans, the pulse would create tsunamis, but, still importantly, the people on the coastline would be killed. The pulse would also create an earthquake, where the hypocenter focus would be the centre of the these shockwaves.

Environmental issues

• Many Environmental issues are happening here in China, such as summer typhoons, earthquakes and volcanoes (Info: China is on the Ring of Fire).Earthquakes, Tsunamis, summer typhoons and Volcanism are all possible in this threatened country where any disaster is possible.
