    1) Different regions of China are suitable for different types of farming due to variations in climate and terrain. 2) North and Northeast China have cold winters and grow wheat, corn, soybeans and potatoes. West and Northwest China are suitable only for pastoral farming like livestock due to low rainfall and hilly terrain. 3) South China has warm, wet conditions ideal for rice farming and has the most cultivated land in China. Different crops are grown depending on temperature and rainfall patterns across China.

    WHERE IS THE
    FARMLAND IN
    CHINA?
    Task:
    Study the growing conditions for rice and wheat, average winter temperature and
    annual rainfall in China. Which part of China is suitable for the growing of rice?
    Which part of China is suitable for growing wheat? Mark them on the blank map of
    China (Fig. 1.3) on your notes with pencil.
    Conditions required for growing rice Conditions required for growing wheat
    o Ideal temperature between 20 °C and 32 °C, o Temperature above 6 °C
    not lower than 10 °C o Annual rainfall 350-750mm
    o Annual rainfall not less than 1,000mm o Growing period at least 110 days
    o Growing period at least 90 days  

    Average winter (January) temperature in The distribution of rainfall in China


    China
    Key Question 1 :

    WHERE ARE THE MAJOR FARMING


    REGIONS IN CHINA?

     Distribution of farming regions

    A farming region:
    An area growing the same major types of crops
    using similar farming methods.
    1. North and northeast China

    2. West and Northwest China

    3. South China
    North &
    Northeast China –
    wheat, corn,
    soybean &
    potatoes grown
    Why is the western
    part of China
    suitable for pastoral
    farming?

    West & Northwest China – South China –


    livestock (e.g. sheep & rice & vegetables grown
    cattle) reared
    Task: Describe the colour pattern shown over China.
    What do the different colours mean? Why such a pattern?
    Satellite view of China
    Task: Where is most of the cultivated land in China?
    Which part of China has the least amount
    of cultivated land?

    Distribution of cultivated
    land over China
    South China –
    RICE, vegetables
    grown
    Rice terraces in South China:

    Question: Why are the terraces suitable rice farming?


    North & Northeast
    China – wheat,
    corn, soybean &
    potatoes grown
    West & Northwest
    China –
    livestock (e.g.
    sheep & cattle)
    reared
    Livestock market in Xinjiang
    Key Question 2:

    WHAT ARE THE FACTORS AFFECTING


    THE DISTRIBUTION OF FARMING REGIONS
    IN CHINA?

    Temperature?
    Rainfall?
    Relief?
    Temperature?  affects the length of
    growing season

    Every crop has…


    1. Minimum growing temperature
    2. Minimum length of growing season

    Which part of China


    is not suitable for
    growing crops?
    North and
    Which part of China can grow crops
    Northwest China
    throughout the year? South China
    Rainfall?  Amount of irrigation water

    W & NW China
    Places with less rainfall
    → too DRY for growing crops → only
    pastoral farming

    South China

    Places with more rainfall


    → can grow crops that need
    more water (e.g. paddy rice!)
    Relief?  Height + Steepness of slope
    Which part of China is the most
    suitable for farming? Eastern part of China

    Too hilly, thin Plains /


    soil lowland
    (W & NW (e.g. E China)
    China)   most
    only grass can suitable for
    grow there  farming
    pastoral
    farming only
