History

The history of Asia can be seen as the distinct histories of several peripheral coastal

regions: East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and theMiddle East, linked by the interior

mass of the Central Asian steppes.

The coastal periphery was home to some of the world's earliest known civilizations, each of

them developing around fertile river valleys. The civilizations in Mesopotamia, the Indus

Valley and the Huanghe shared many similarities. These civilizations may well have

exchanged technologies and ideas such as mathematics and the wheel. Other innovations,

such as writing, seem to have been developed individually in each area. Cities, states and

empires developed in these lowlands.

The central steppe region had long been inhabited by horse-mounted nomads who could

reach all areas of Asia from the steppes. The earliest postulated expansion out of the steppe

is that of the Indo-Europeans, who spread their languages into the Middle East, South Asia,

and the borders of China, where the Tocharians resided. The northernmost part of Asia,

including much of Siberia, was largely inaccessible to the steppe nomads, owing to the

dense forests, climate and tundra. These areas remained very sparsely populated.

The center and the peripheries were mostly kept separated by mountains and

deserts.The Caucasus and Himalaya mountains and theKarakum and Gobi deserts formed

barriers that the steppe horsemen could cross only with difficulty. While the urban city

dwellers were more advanced technologically and socially, in many cases they could do

little in a military aspect to defend against the mounted hordes of the steppe. However, the

lowlands did not have enough open grasslands to support a large horsebound force; for this

and other reasons, the nomads who conquered states in China, India, and the Middle East

often found themselves adapting to the local, more affluent societies.

The Islamic Caliphate took over the Middle East and Central Asia during the Muslim

conquests of the 7th century. The Mongol Empire conquered a large part of Asia in the 13th

century, an area extending from China to Europe.

Origins of the Continent

The division of the landmass of Eurasia into the continents of Asia and Europe.

Geography

In the Asian continent they emphasize the following formation:

In the north the Asian plain. In the central zone a series of high plateaus like those of Iran, Pamir, Tibet and

Mongolia.

Those of Pamir and Tibet they are located to 3,600 ms and 5,000 ms respectively,reason why they are known like the ceiling of the world. Also there is a series of

young mountain ranges: montes Zagros, the Karakrum and the Himalayas, where

is the highest Earth point: the Everest (8,848 ms).

In the east the China Plain. In the south the Plateau of the Deccn and the Plain ofIndochina.

The relief with a series of alluvial plains is completed, by where great rivers pass.Languages

Asia is home to several language families and many language isolates. Most Asian

countries have more than one language that is natively spoken. For instance, according

toEthnologue, more than 600 languages are spoken in Indonesia, more than 800 languages

spoken in India, and more than 100 are spoken in the Philippines. China has many

languages and dialects in different provinces

Weather

Is the largest continent which is well illustrated from its geographical limits. It stretches

over 5,000 miles from the north of Arctic Circle to the South of equator. Due to its large

size, Asia is characterized by diverse weather conditions prevailing over different parts of

the continent. Different countries situated within Asia experiences different weather

conditions based on their geographical locations. Asia has countries experiencing extremes.

Some places are the hottest while the others are coldest. Again some of the places are driest

compared to other places which happen to be the wettest.

-Central Asia

Places located in the interior of the continent are subjected to severe weather conditions.

This is due to the fact that Central Asia is far from the water bodies and is surrounded by

huge mountain peaks. This prevents the rain borne winds from reaching the centre of the

continent. Hence, places in the Central Asia suffer from lengthy and chilled winters and

extremely hot and short summers. Rainfall is minimal, except for the hilly areas.


6/10

-Southern Asia

Places in the south of Asia are subjected to very peculiar weather conditions. Places here

experience extremely hot weather all round the year. There are two distinct seasons of

Weather Asia in this part of the continent-rainy season and dry season. The south western

regions are very dry.

-Northern Asia

Weather Asia in the northern part of the continent is characterized by severe winter

conditions when the temperature tends to fall much below the freezing point. This part of

Asia receives considerable amount of rainfall.

Religions

Almost all Asian religions have philosophical character and Asian philosophical traditions

cover a large spectrum of philosophical thoughts and writings.Indian

philosophy includes Hindu philosophy and Buddhist philosophy. They include elements of

nonmaterial pursuits, whereas another school of thought from India, Crvka, preached the

enjoyment of material world. Christianity is also present in most Asian countries.

Traditions

Buddhism:While there are as asmany religions in Asia as there are anywhereelse, Buddhismis one of the predominant ones. Buddhism was established in

northernIndia about 2500 years ago in response to the life and teachings of

Gautama Siddhartha who was given the title "Buddha" or "awakened-one."

Dim Sum:A traditional Chinese meal that consists of lots of small dishes of abunch of different kinds offoods,including steamed or fried dumplings.

Tea:Teaplays a major rolein Asian culture - whether it's in China, India orMalaysia - tea ceremonies, in their various forms, are a major part of most Asian

cultures.

Origami:Origami is the art of folding paper. While it is quite popular inJapan,itis believed to have originated in China in the first century AD. One of the most

popular origami shapes isthe crane.The crane is thought to be a sacred animalin

Japan and legend has it that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, yourwish will come

true.

Population

East Asia had by far the strongest overallHDIperformance of any region in theworld,

nearly doubling averageHDI attainment over the past 40 years, according to the Reports

analysis ofhealth,education and income data.PR China,the second highest achiever in the

world in terms of HDI improvement since 1970, is the only country on the Top 10

Movers list due to income rather than health or education achievements. Its per capita

income increased a stunning 21-fold over the last four decades, also lifting hundreds of

millions out of income poverty. Yet it was not among the regions top performers in

improving school enrolment and life expectancy.

Nepal, aSouth Asian country, emerges as one of the worlds fastest movers since 1970

mainly due to health and education achievements. Its presentlife expectancy is 25 years

longer than 1970's.; more than four of every five children of school age in Nepal now

attend primary school, compared to just one in five 40 years ago.

Japan andSouth Korea ranked highest among the countries grouped on the HDI (number

11 and 12 in the world, which are in the very high human development category),

followed byHong Kong, China (SAR)(21) andSingapore (27).Afghanistan (155) ranked

lowest amongst Asian countries out of the 169 countries assessed.

2. Sushi

Sushi doesnt need any introduction. Its popular world-wide and there is no exception to

that in Asia. Here its considered a higher-class delicacy and mainly eaten in posh

restaurants, although you can buy ready-made Sushi in regional supermarkets like

Carrefour in Singapore, Indonesia or Tesco in Thailand.

3. Chicken Curry

Chicken Curry is an universal dish you can find on almost every menu in Asia. After all the

original spice islands some Portuguese sailor named Magellan was looking for in the name

of the Spanish crown, are located strategically between the Philippines, Indonesia andBorneo Malaysia.

4. Tom Yum

Originated in Thailand, this watery something in a bowl, is now very popular all over Asia,

but especially in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. It can come as an appetizer,

thin soup or main dish, eaten with or without rice, but has almost always a more spicy-sour

taste with heavy use of smashed lemon grass, tamarind and lime.

5. Fried Rice (nasi goreng)

Rice is the staple diet in every Asian country. Mainly its cooked plain white, with coconut

sauce or saffron added and eaten fresh or right away with whatever meat or veggies come

along. So what do you do with the rice leftovers a few days later? You guessed it right!
