Where is Jurong, what is its geographical location and what are its regional advantages?

Southeast Asia

1. Geographical location and natural environment

(1) Scope

A. Low latitude: most of them are located in the south Between 10 degrees latitude and the Tropic of Cancer, the rivers passing through from west to east along the 20 degrees north latitude section are: Irrawaddy River, Nu River-Salween River (Chao Phraya River), Lancang River-Mekong River (Red River).

B. Between 95 degrees east longitude and 110 degrees east longitude: 100 degrees east longitude passes through Yunnan, China, the Golden Triangle (the junction of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand), the Chao Phraya River Delta (Bangkok, Thailand), the Gulf of Thailand, and Malay Peninsula, Strait of Malacca, Sumatra Island, Indian Ocean

C. The location of the "crossroads": Asia and Oceania, the crossroads of the Pacific and the Indian Ocean

D. Strait of Malacca: located in Malacca Between the peninsula and Sumatra Island, it is the throat of this region. Its geographical location is very important. It has a load capacity of 250,000 tons. It is a sea channel connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is the shortest sailing eastward from Europe and Africa to ports in Southeast Asia and East Asia. The only place that the route must pass

E. Indochina: There are 6 countries, inland country - Laos, coastal country - Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia

F. Malay Archipelago: The world's largest archipelago (our country is accustomed to call it Nanyang Islands) 6 countries and regions, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, East Timor, Malaysia

G, Indonesia has the largest area in Southeast Asia and is also the largest in the world It is an archipelago country that spans Asia and Oceania. Its capital, Jakarta, is the largest city in Southeast Asia

H. East Timor became independent in May 2002 and is not an "ASEAN" country

(2) Terrain< /p>

Indochina Peninsula: The terrain in the north is steep, with mountains and rivers extending from north to south, forming a landscape of mountains and rivers alternating with each other. The upstream river section has a significant cutting effect, forming a V-shaped valley with towering water erosion terrain on both sides. The flow speed in the downstream river section slows down, the valley widens, and sediment is deposited, forming a fertile alluvial plain, a typical water accumulation landform, Mekong River The largest plain in this region

Malay Islands: located at the junction of three major plates. The terrain is mountainous, the crust is unstable, there are many volcanic earthquakes, volcanic ash soil, and fertile soil. Indonesia is the country with the most volcanoes in the world

(3) Climate

Tropical rain forest climate: southern Maya Peninsula and most of the Malay Islands, with high temperatures and rain all year round, and the type of precipitation is convective rain

Tropical monsoon climate: the southern part of Indochina and the northern part of the Philippine Islands, with two seasons of dry and rainy seasons every year

Main features

Distribution areas

Impact on agricultural production

Tropical monsoon climate

High temperatures throughout the year, relatively heavy precipitation There are dry seasons and rainy seasons in a year

Indochina and the northern part of the Philippine Islands

Crops are sown in the rainy season and harvested in the dry season

Tropical Rainforest climate

High temperature and rainy year-round, with annual precipitation reaching more than 2,000 mm

Most areas of the Malay Archipelago and the southern part of the Malay Peninsula near the equator

Crops You can sow seeds at any time of the year and reap harvests in all seasons

(4) Rivers and human activities

Alluvial plains and deltas along rivers - flat terrain, fertile soil, and convenient irrigation. (In addition, the climate is hot and rainy, with hot and rainy weather at the same time) - a long history of human development, dense population, and developed agriculture - cities are distributed along rivers - Red River (Hanoi), Mekong River (Vientiane, Phnom Penh), Chao Phraya River (Bangkok), Irrawaddy River (Yangon)

2. Residents and economy

(1) Densely populated with many Chinese people

One of the densely populated areas in the world, the population is unevenly distributed: dense Areas - plains, deltas, large islands - have a long history of human development and developed agriculture;

Sparse areas - tropical rainforest climate zones, mountainous areas - harsh natural conditions

Yellow people species, Indonesia has the largest population and is mainly distributed on the island of Java. The island has the famous city of Bandung

Religion: There are many Buddhists, including the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, the famous Buddhist architecture of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and Thailand as the state religion.

Indonesia and Malaysia regard Islam as the state religion, and Filipino residents believe in Catholicism

The area where Chinese and overseas Chinese are most concentrated, and their origins are mainly Guangdong and Fujian

(2) Main agricultural products and minerals< /p>

Agricultural products: The world’s largest producer of tropical cash crops (natural rubber—Malaysia, oil palm—Malaysia, coconut—Philippines, abaca—Philippines, pepper—Indonesia, cinchona—Indonesia), the world’s main rice producer Area (Thailand - the main rice exporting country)

Forest - the main distribution area of ??the world's hot rain forests, the world's precious wood (nanmu, teak) export area (mainly Myanmar and Thailand)

< p>Minerals; the world’s largest tin ore belt, with the largest number in Malaysia; one of the world’s major oil producers (Indonesia and Brunei are oil exporters—mainly exported to Japan)

(3) Rapidly developing industry and tourism

Primary products are the main products and are at a disadvantage in international trade. This is the result of long-term colonial rule. The colonial rulers used Southeast Asia as a treasure house to plunder cheap resources and suppressed the development of national industries in order to dump themselves. of industrial products and earn huge profits from them. Even after Southeast Asia becomes independent, it will not be able to get rid of this situation quickly.

Using the advantages of abundant resources, abundant and cheap labor, we vigorously develop the processing industry, export a large number of products, and revitalize the national economy. Thailand and Singapore are among the "Four Little Dragons" in Asia, and Malaysia's economy is developing rapidly; /p>

The tourism industry is developing rapidly in countries such as Singapore and Thailand.

3. Singapore
