Climate Regions of Southeast and East Asia
The map is titled Climate Regions of Southeast and East Asia. This map displays the different climate regions that exist in Southeast and East Asia, using color. The map shows the landmasses of Southeast and East Asia, including the islands of the Philippines and Indonesia. East Asia is central in the map. A map key exists on the right side of the map, which explains the colors used for each of the climate regions. A compass rose does not exist on this map. It is assumed that the cardinal direction of north is toward the top of the map, west is to the left of the map, east is to the right of the map, and south is toward the bottom of the map.
- Areas shaded in khaki represent arid climate. Arid climate is found north of the Himalayan Mountains in central Asia. The southern side of this section meets a boundary with highland climate. The northern, eastern, and western sides meet a boundary with semiarid climate.
- Areas shaded in light brown represent semiarid climate. Semiarid climate exists in the top left corner of the map. Semiarid climate exists in correlation with the Eurasian Steppe. This section exists in portions of northern and central Asia. The northern side of this section meets boundaries with humid continental and subarctic climates. The southern side of this section meets boundaries with arid and highland climates. The eastern side of this section meets a boundary with humid continental climate.
- Areas shaded in brown represent highland climate. Highland climate exists in two location on the map.
- Highland climate exists in correlation with the Himalayan Mountain Range. The northern and eastern sides of this section meet boundaries with arid and semiarid climates. The southern side of this section meets boundaries with semiarid and humid subtropical climates.
- Highland climate also exists in the central portions of the Islands of Borneo and New Guinea.
- Areas shaded in yellow represent humid subtropical climate. Humid subtropical climate extends across northern India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Also, humid subtropical climate extends into much of Eastern Asia, including South Korea, Taiwan, and the southern portions of Japan. This section is located south of the Himalayan Mountains. The northern side of this section meets boundaries with highland and humid continental climate. The southern side of this section meets boundaries with tropical wet and dry and tropical wet climates. The eastern side of this section meets boundaries with the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea.
- Areas shaded in orange represent humid continental climate. Humid continental climate exists in northeastern Asia, North Korea, and northern portions of Japan. The northern side of this section meets a boundary with subarctic climate. The eastern side of this section meets boundaries with humid subtropical climate, the Yellow Sea, and the Sea of Japan. The western side of this section meets a boundary with semiarid climate.
- Areas shaded in light green represent tropical wet and dry climate. Tropical wet and dry climate exists in a few areas on the map.
- Tropical wet and dry climate exists eastern India. This section extends into the northern half of Sri Lanka. The northern side of this section meets boundaries with humid subtropical climates. The eastern side of this section meets boundaries with tropical wet climate and the Bay of Bengal. The southern side of this section meets boundaries with the Indian Ocean and tropical wet climate. The western side of this section meets a boundary with semiarid climate.
- Another section of tropical wet and dry climates exists in western and central Myanmar and extends into western and central Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The northern and eastern sides of this section meet boundaries with humid subtropical and tropical wet climates. The western side of this section meets a boundary with tropical wet climate.
- Tropical wet and dry climate exists on some of the islands of southern Indonesia.
- Areas shaded in dark green represent tropical wet climate. Tropical wet climate exists in a few areas on the map.
- A section of tropical wet climate exists on the southern coast of Bangladesh and extends southeastward along the western coast of Myanmar, the western coast of Thailand, all of Malaysia, and all of Singapore. The northern side of this section meets boundaries with humid subtropical and tropical wet and dry climates. The southern and western sides of this section meet a boundary with the Bay of Bengal. The eastern side of this section meets boundaries with tropical wet and dry climate and the Gulf of Thailand.
- Tropical wet climate exists on the majority of the islands in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.
- Tropical wet climate exists on the island of Hainan, China.
- Areas shaded in dark purple represent subarctic climate. Subarctic climate exists on the very northern portions of the map in areas of central and southern Russia and the northern islands of Japan. The southern side of this section meets boundaries with semiarid and humid continental climates.
Ring of Fire
The map is titled Map Ring of Fire. This map shows the landmasses that surround the Pacific Ocean. The landmasses are all colored khaki. The ocean is colored light blue. The Pacific Ocean is central on the map. The Pacific Ocean is labeled in white text. There is no map key on this map. A compass rose does not exist on this map. It is assumed that the cardinal direction of north is toward the top of the map, west is to the left of the map, east is to the right of the map, and south is toward the bottom of the map.
The Ring of Fire is shown on the map using a solid magenta line. This line outlines the Pacific Ocean. The magenta line does not connect across southern portions of the Pacific Ocean.
