Tibet has very interesting and fascinating geography. This area can be
broken up into three parts; the east, north, and south. Tibet or Xizang,
the roof of the world, is located on the west side of China and is considered
one of the 5 autonomous regions of China. At about 4,500 meters in altitude,
Tibet is the highest plateau of the world, no wonder it is called the
"roof of the world."
The current capital of the area is called Lhasa,
which is located in the southeast region. This area has a plethora of different
landscapes and weather patterns depending on the specific place. The northern
sides seem to see a more colder, dryer climate with high winds, and low
temperatures overnight. While the south side of Tibet, tends to have more
desirable weather patterns. Similar to the module number 6, some of the like
characteristics are the effects of altitude, and land-water contrasts, as well
as continentally and the vertical eco system areas, which can play a part in
the differences in climate.
Tibet is surrounded by mountain chains such as:
Himalayas, the Kunlun mounts, Karakoram, and the Alps of Sichaun, not to
mention the world’s highest summit; Mount Everest standing at an elevation of 8848.13
meters. The Tibetan vegetation is also vast in size and varieties. Tibet has
forests, mainly of spruces, fir, pine and cypress, etc., meadows that cover
around 70% of the land, and cultivable grounds used to plant and grow seeds.
The water resources are abundant as well. Tibet has lakes and rivers as well as
the majority of the resources that come from underground waters and glaciers
that are primarily used. The area also has an exceptional amount of minerals.
The most important minerals to China are chromite, uranium, and copper to name
a few.
