Asia Physical Overview
Asia includes all geographic zones from the perpetual ice and tundra in the north to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia at the equator. The distinctive high mountain ranges of Central Asia and the exposure to the coasts cause an intensive overprinting of the zonal structure and contribute to the development of very contrasting landscapes. For example, the extensive dry areas and highlands in the interior of the continent are particularly striking.
WEST AND SOUTH ASIA
A broad belt of high, geologically young mountain ranges runs through the map. In Western and Western Asia, the Caucasus and Taurus separate the Eastern European lowlands from the Mesopotamia and the desert-like Arabian Peninsula. In the highlands of Iran the mountain belt experiences a widening, the interior of which forms deserts, north of Elburs and Kopetdag lie the wide plains of Central Asia. The Himalaya marks the border between the highlands of Tibet and the Indian subcontinent, which is further subdivided into the river plains, the highlands of the Dekkan and the mountain ranges of the Ghats. The Kunlun Shan leads north of the highlands of Tibet to the landscapes of the geologically older mountains, highlands and basins of Central Asia.
