Glossary Links Facts Font Geography First thing one notices, when talking about Mongolia, is the severe continental climate. This climate is caused by a couple of factors. Mongolia is landlocked between the super states China and Russia. Most of the country is lying on high altitude and the division of air pressure systems also plays a role. The borders of present day Mongolia are mostly formed by natural boundaries of mountain ranges. In the north sediments of the Angara shield form old remains of relief from the Caledonian folding 400 million years ago. To the west and the east borders the structures are formed by the Hercynical folding of 300 million years ago. In the south old parts of the Chinese shield are covered by sediments from later times. There is a hunch that there might be a breaking line on the Eurasian Plate, through the center of Mongolia, on the line Lake Baikal to the border of Pakistan and India. Earthquakes may occur in Mongolia. The highest point lies in the utter west, with an altitude of 4734 metres, the lowest is not yet determined, but lies around the 560 metres. The average altitude of Mongolia is 1580 metres, which makes it one of the highest countries in the world. The Changajn Nuruu (mountain range) in the west center of Mongolia is the water division. The main rivers in the north flow into the Russian great rivers, which take the water to the Arctic Ocean. The southern rivers mostly run up dry.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Geography Geography of China Situated in the southeastern part of the Eurasian Continent, the People's Republic of China has both marine and land boundary line of more than 20,000 kilometers and a coastline of 18,000 kilometers,with a total land area of 9.6 million square kilometers, next only to Russia and Canada. Its territory extends over 50 latitudes from north to south, embracing the equatorial belt, the tropics, the subtropics, the moderate temperate zone and the cold temperate zone. And from east to west, it covers over 62 longitudes, and has longitudinal regular divisions of forests, grasslands, deserts, plains, hilly lands and high lands. It shares land borders with Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyz Stan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and North Korea. The country can be divided into 8 regions: At the top of the staircase are the plateaus of Tibet and Qinghai in the southwest. The Tibetan Highlands average 4500m above sea level. Thus is also referred to as the 'Roof of the World'. At the southern rim of the plateau is the Himalayan mountain range, with peaks averaging 6000m high, among which Mt. Everest, known to the Chinese as Qomolangma Peak, reaches more than 8000m.

The Geography The Mountains The Taiga Forest The Forrest Steppe - Mosaic ... The Desert ZOO-GEOGRAPHY Mongolia is unique in its unusual and varied lifezones, especially compared to the other temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere. Being in the very center of the Eurasian continent it is hard to get anywhere further from the oceans of the world. The mean elevation of Mongolia is about 1500 meters above sealevel (5000 ft) which enhances the sharp continental climate. For most of the year it is very cold, especially at night. Precipitation is low and skies are usually clear during the wintertime. Summers, however, are very pleasant just as in the US and Europe. There is a short rainy season in July and August during which most of the yearly rain falls. This rain, however, is not more than what we get in northern Europe. Occasional strong winds can come and go quickly. Spring and fall pass very quickly. Mongolia is a vast place of unexpected and unlikely encounters. The northernmost desert zones in the world are found within Mongolia, and so are the southernmost taiga forests of Siberia. Hence, the habitats of camels and reindeer almost merge in the northern areas by Hövsgöl Lake. It is located in a transition zone between the Siberian taiga forests and the Central Asian steppes and deserts. Most of Mongolia is still in a pristine condition. You can usually photograph yaks and camels side by side. In Mongolia is also the high snowcapped Altai Mountains and the Gobi desert.

The bordering line extends 4221 km long. The topography of Inner Mongolia is mainly composed of plateaus, extending 3000 km from northeast to southwest, and most of them are more than 1000 meters above sea level. In the region, the area of grassland is 880,000 square km, or accounting for 21.7 percent of the nation's total, the leading of China's five largest grasslands. From east to west, are scattered grassy marshland, typical grassland, wilderness grassland, grassy wilderness, and desert as well as hilly grassy marshlands, low wet and grassy marshland, and marshy grassland, distributed randomly anywhere. In the east, there are boundless primitive forests in the Greater Xinggan (or Hinggan) Mountain Range, and in the west, there is a large area of desert centering on the Ordos Plateau. The extended areas from the plateaus are plains mainly formed by the reaches of the Yellow River and the Liaohe River, known as the Hetao area and Liao-Nen area.

Throat Singing, Robin Williams on golf, and other interesting links Julia Roberts in Mongolia - Nature, PBS.org The Man Who Would Be Khan The Mongolian Tourism Board Early History: Archeological digs have uncovered human remains in the Gobi and other regions of Mongolia dating back nearly 500,000 years. Despite Mongolia's short summers, wheat growing has co-existed for thousands of years with nomadic herding, which the Mongols took up after they tamed horses, yaks and camels. The name 'Mongol' was first recorded by the Chinese during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). At that time Mongolia was dominated by a Turkic people called the Uighurs. The Uighurs were influenced by Christianity and, after taking control of Mongolia, went on to save the ailing Tang rulers of China from an internal revolt. The Uighurs controlled most of Mongolia until 840 AD, when they were defeated by the Kyrgyz, who now live in the Chinese province of Xinjiang. The Largest Empire the World Has Ever Known: They remained little more than a loose confederation of rival clans until the late 12th century, when a 20 year old Mongol named Temujin emerged and managed to unite most of the Mongol tribes.In 1189 he was given the honorary name of Genghis Khan, meaning 'universal king'. The Genghis Khan imprinted in the memory of the west bears little relation to the Chinggis Khaan revered by Mongolians. Not only is the spelling different: to Europeans, the name epitomizes mercilessness and warmongering; to the Mongolians, it embodies strength, unity, law and order. Genghis set up his capital in present-day Kharkhorin, and launched his important cavalry - built on Mongolia's prized takhi horses - against China and Russia. By the time of his death in 1227, the Mongol empire extended from Beijing to the Caspian Sea.

A communist regime was installed in 1924. During the early 1990s, the ex-communist Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) gradually yielded its monopoly on power. In 1996, the Democratic Union Coalition (DUC) defeated the MPRP in a national election. Over the next four years the Coalition implemented a number of key reforms to modernize the economy and institutionalize democratic reforms. However, the former communists were a strong opposition that stalled additional reforms and made implementation difficult. In 2000, the MPRP won 72 of the 76 seats in Parliament and completely reshuffled the government. While it continues many of the reform policies, the MPRP is focusing on social welfare and public order priorities.
