The territory of modern China is characterized by dramatic geographical diversity. Topographically, it is low in the east and high in the west. The land surface ascends like a three-step staircase. The plains and lowlands in the east and southeast constitute the first step, occupying about 12 percent of the land. Two-thirds of the country, the two higher steps, are mostly mountains and high plateaus. Below is a topographical map of China. What effects do you think China's topography would have had on the development and spread of Chinese civilization? Map 1: East Asia's topography About the maps China's climate ranges from extremely dry, desert-like conditions in the north and west to the rain and heat o f the tropical monsoon in the south and southeast. Most of the country, however, lies in the temperate zone and experiences four seasons. Below are two maps showing the average highest temperatures in January and July. What characteristics do you observe about China's climate from looking at Maps 2 and 3 below? What would have been the most comfortable place to live? Where did Chinese civilization start?
