The Incredible Country of China __ Location __ Absolute Location: China's absolute location is 35.0000 degrees North, 103.0000 degrees East.

Relative Location:  China's relative location is in the North Eastern Hemisphere in Asia. China borders the countries Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Afghanistan, and India. __ Place __ Physical Features:  One of China's physical features is the Yangtze River. This river is the longest river in Asia. The Yangtze River is historically, economically, and culturally important to China. It has many tributaries including the Min River, Han River, Jialing River, Gan River, and the Hungpu River. People in China consider it a dividing line between North China and South China.

[|For more information on the Yangtze River click here.] Human Features:  China has many human features. One of the human features are The Great Wall of China. The Great Wall of China starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. The Great Wall winds through deserts, grasslands, mountains, and plateaus. [|For more information on The Great Wall of China click here.] __Human Environment Interactions__ The Three Gorges Dam is one of the H.E.I (Human Environment Interactions) in China. The Three Gorges Dam is built on the Chang Jiang in China. Three Gorges Dam helps to control flooding on the Yangtze River. It is also expected to generate power and to allow ships to sail farther into China. The dam affects China by endangering living species, the water quality, and may increase the chance of earthquakes and mudslides in the area. Another human environment interaction is bad pollution. The pollution creates bad health problems for all living things. In China, there are different types of pollution. There are soil contamination, waste, electronic waste, industrial pollution, water pollution, and air pollution. The pollution affects China, and the whole world! One more human environment interaction is building houses. People brake up into smaller families to make more houses, making us use up more land, energy, building materials, and appliances. If we use up more land, that will mean that we are taking away land from the animals home. __ Movement __ In China, Chinese eat very similar foods as us. One of the foods they eat is rice. Rice is one of China's main foods. Following rice comes noodles, eggs, fish, tofu (bean curd), meat poultry, and soup. Chinese also eats vegetables such as cabbage, mushroom, peas, beans, leafy greens, chili peppers, onions, carrots, celery, broccoli, bamboo shoots, and gourds. The Western China also eats bread.

The cause is we are needing too many supplies such as clothing, furniture, toys, etc. Today, China uses a lot of property that we use in America. Another effect is people are moving to town by improving their future to get better jobs, and to get wealthier. The cause is the people in China need more money. In China, people that are not wealthy abandon farm life to move to the city. One more effect is China tears down houses to make new houses. The cause is they need to make more factories to be able to make more supplies that the world needs. This is why China has pollution problems. China is building too many factories.
