Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of timemdash30 years or moreAnd as you probably already know there are lots of different types of climates on Earth
For example hot regions are normally closest to the equator The climate is hotter there because theSunrsquos light is most directly overhead at the equator And the North and South Poles are cold becausethe Sunrsquos light and heat are least direct there
The snow-covered peaks of the Chigmit Range during winter Credit NPSM Cahill 2015
Using this information in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist named WladimirKoppen divided the worlds climates into categories His categories were based on the temperaturethe amount of precipitation and the times of year when precipitation occurs The categories werealso influenced by a regionrsquos latitudemdashthe imaginary lines used to measure our Earth from north tosouth from the equator
Today climate scientists split the Earth into approximately five main types of climates They are
A Tropical In this hot and humid zone the average temperatures are greater than 64degF (18degC)year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year
B Dry These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air andthere is very little precipitation
C Temperate In this zone there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms andmild winters
D Continental These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters In the winter thiszone can experience snowstorms strong winds and very cold temperaturesmdashsometimes fallingbelow -22degF (-30degC)
E Polar In the polar climate zones itrsquos extremely cold Even in summer the temperatures herenever go higher than 50degF (10degC)
This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

Area Workout
The Warmup
To loosen up wersquoll start with something we know
Calculate the area of these three shapes On the line below them explain how you worked them
out
In class we have had a lot of practise calculating the area of regular 2D shapes
Area is not limited to squares rectangles and triangles We can work out the of irregular shapes
too
In Mathematics irregular shapes are known as compound shapes The shapes below are
compound shapes Use the squares to work out their area
Numeracy- Week 5 Learning from Home Pack
Monday Literacy
The word
lsquocompoundrsquo means made up of more than one thing
When we need to work out the area of a compound shape that has no squares we look for the
regular shapes that have been used to create it
That sounds scary but have a look at the next shape and work out the area Yoursquoll see itrsquos actually
very simple An example of how to split the shape up has been provided to help you
Monday Numeracy 0908This is a map of Ireland On the map key (white box) yoursquoll see a number scale
The small scale represents distance and surface area on the island
One CM on the map represents 50KM in real life
You have been learning about Asian countries this week
The shapes on the squared paper below represent two different countries
Using the scale provided and the squares inside the shapes to answer the
following questions
1 What is the surface area of each country of each country according to
the images
Thailand
Turkey
2 Which country has the largest surface area and by how much
has the largest surface area by KM2
Donrsquot forget to upload all your work on Dojo
I am a successful learner because
-I know that compound shapes are
made up of multiple regular
shapes
-I can work out compound area
using regular shapes to guide me
-I know that in real life the surface
area of a country is represented on

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

Meteorology Maths
In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years
I am a successful learner because
-I can describe and represent
number patterns in a variety of
ways
-I can use rich information from a

Asia View article for Students ScholarsKids
AsiaEncyclopaeligdia Britannica Inc
Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of timemdash30 years or moreAnd as you probably already know there are lots of different types of climates on Earth
For example hot regions are normally closest to the equator The climate is hotter there because theSunrsquos light is most directly overhead at the equator And the North and South Poles are cold becausethe Sunrsquos light and heat are least direct there

Using this information in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist named WladimirKoppen divided the worlds climates into categories His categories were based on the temperaturethe amount of precipitation and the times of year when precipitation occurs The categories werealso influenced by a regionrsquos latitudemdashthe imaginary lines used to measure our Earth from north tosouth from the equator
Today climate scientists split the Earth into approximately five main types of climates They are
A Tropical In this hot and humid zone the average temperatures are greater than 64degF (18degC)year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year
B Dry These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air andthere is very little precipitation
C Temperate In this zone there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms andmild winters
D Continental These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters In the winter thiszone can experience snowstorms strong winds and very cold temperaturesmdashsometimes fallingbelow -22degF (-30degC)
E Polar In the polar climate zones itrsquos extremely cold Even in summer the temperatures herenever go higher than 50degF (10degC)
This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

Meteorology Maths
In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500

Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of timemdash30 years or moreAnd as you probably already know there are lots of different types of climates on Earth
For example hot regions are normally closest to the equator The climate is hotter there because theSunrsquos light is most directly overhead at the equator And the North and South Poles are cold becausethe Sunrsquos light and heat are least direct there
The snow-covered peaks of the Chigmit Range during winter Credit NPSM Cahill 2015
Using this information in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist named WladimirKoppen divided the worlds climates into categories His categories were based on the temperaturethe amount of precipitation and the times of year when precipitation occurs The categories werealso influenced by a regionrsquos latitudemdashthe imaginary lines used to measure our Earth from north tosouth from the equator
Today climate scientists split the Earth into approximately five main types of climates They are
A Tropical In this hot and humid zone the average temperatures are greater than 64degF (18degC)year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year
B Dry These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air andthere is very little precipitation
C Temperate In this zone there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms andmild winters
D Continental These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters In the winter thiszone can experience snowstorms strong winds and very cold temperaturesmdashsometimes fallingbelow -22degF (-30degC)
E Polar In the polar climate zones itrsquos extremely cold Even in summer the temperatures herenever go higher than 50degF (10degC)
This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of timemdash30 years or moreAnd as you probably already know there are lots of different types of climates on Earth
For example hot regions are normally closest to the equator The climate is hotter there because theSunrsquos light is most directly overhead at the equator And the North and South Poles are cold becausethe Sunrsquos light and heat are least direct there
The snow-covered peaks of the Chigmit Range during winter Credit NPSM Cahill 2015
Using this information in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist named WladimirKoppen divided the worlds climates into categories His categories were based on the temperaturethe amount of precipitation and the times of year when precipitation occurs The categories werealso influenced by a regionrsquos latitudemdashthe imaginary lines used to measure our Earth from north tosouth from the equator
Today climate scientists split the Earth into approximately five main types of climates They are
A Tropical In this hot and humid zone the average temperatures are greater than 64degF (18degC)year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year
B Dry These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air andthere is very little precipitation
C Temperate In this zone there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms andmild winters
D Continental These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters In the winter thiszone can experience snowstorms strong winds and very cold temperaturesmdashsometimes fallingbelow -22degF (-30degC)
E Polar In the polar climate zones itrsquos extremely cold Even in summer the temperatures herenever go higher than 50degF (10degC)
This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers
Watch this short video to find out how the water we drink in Sydney
makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

Meteorology Maths
In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years

Angles Work Sheet
An angle is a measure of a turn measured in degrees or deg There are 360deg in a full turn You can find out the size of an angle using a protractor
bull An angle less than 90deg is acutebull An angle between 90deg and 180deg is obtusebull An angle greater than 180deg is reflexbull An angle of exactly 90deg is a right-angle
Task 1
Demonstrate the different angles above using your arms
Your body will be the vertex or the point of the angle and your arms will
represent the angles rays Demonstrate each angle with your arms and ask
a family member to take a photo and upload each photo to your ClassDojo
portfolio naming each angle
Task 2
Use the Angles Poster work sheet provided and create your own angles poster Look around your
home and get creative make sure your posters are colourful and bright You may even like to use

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of timemdash30 years or moreAnd as you probably already know there are lots of different types of climates on Earth
For example hot regions are normally closest to the equator The climate is hotter there because theSunrsquos light is most directly overhead at the equator And the North and South Poles are cold becausethe Sunrsquos light and heat are least direct there
The snow-covered peaks of the Chigmit Range during winter Credit NPSM Cahill 2015
Using this information in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist named WladimirKoppen divided the worlds climates into categories His categories were based on the temperaturethe amount of precipitation and the times of year when precipitation occurs The categories werealso influenced by a regionrsquos latitudemdashthe imaginary lines used to measure our Earth from north tosouth from the equator
Today climate scientists split the Earth into approximately five main types of climates They are
A Tropical In this hot and humid zone the average temperatures are greater than 64degF (18degC)year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year
B Dry These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air andthere is very little precipitation
C Temperate In this zone there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms andmild winters
D Continental These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters In the winter thiszone can experience snowstorms strong winds and very cold temperaturesmdashsometimes fallingbelow -22degF (-30degC)
E Polar In the polar climate zones itrsquos extremely cold Even in summer the temperatures herenever go higher than 50degF (10degC)
This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

Meteorology Maths
In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied

industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the

ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of timemdash30 years or moreAnd as you probably already know there are lots of different types of climates on Earth
For example hot regions are normally closest to the equator The climate is hotter there because theSunrsquos light is most directly overhead at the equator And the North and South Poles are cold becausethe Sunrsquos light and heat are least direct there
The snow-covered peaks of the Chigmit Range during winter Credit NPSM Cahill 2015
Using this information in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist named WladimirKoppen divided the worlds climates into categories His categories were based on the temperaturethe amount of precipitation and the times of year when precipitation occurs The categories werealso influenced by a regionrsquos latitudemdashthe imaginary lines used to measure our Earth from north tosouth from the equator
Today climate scientists split the Earth into approximately five main types of climates They are
A Tropical In this hot and humid zone the average temperatures are greater than 64degF (18degC)year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year
B Dry These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air andthere is very little precipitation
C Temperate In this zone there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms andmild winters
D Continental These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters In the winter thiszone can experience snowstorms strong winds and very cold temperaturesmdashsometimes fallingbelow -22degF (-30degC)
E Polar In the polar climate zones itrsquos extremely cold Even in summer the temperatures herenever go higher than 50degF (10degC)
This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers
Watch this short video to find out how the water we drink in Sydney
makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of

cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over a long period of timemdash30 years or moreAnd as you probably already know there are lots of different types of climates on Earth
For example hot regions are normally closest to the equator The climate is hotter there because theSunrsquos light is most directly overhead at the equator And the North and South Poles are cold becausethe Sunrsquos light and heat are least direct there
The snow-covered peaks of the Chigmit Range during winter Credit NPSM Cahill 2015
Using this information in the late 1800s and early 1900s a German climate scientist named WladimirKoppen divided the worlds climates into categories His categories were based on the temperaturethe amount of precipitation and the times of year when precipitation occurs The categories werealso influenced by a regionrsquos latitudemdashthe imaginary lines used to measure our Earth from north tosouth from the equator
Today climate scientists split the Earth into approximately five main types of climates They are
A Tropical In this hot and humid zone the average temperatures are greater than 64degF (18degC)year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year
B Dry These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air andthere is very little precipitation
C Temperate In this zone there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms andmild winters
D Continental These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters In the winter thiszone can experience snowstorms strong winds and very cold temperaturesmdashsometimes fallingbelow -22degF (-30degC)
E Polar In the polar climate zones itrsquos extremely cold Even in summer the temperatures herenever go higher than 50degF (10degC)
This is roughly where those climate zones appear on a globe

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

Meteorology Maths
In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian

better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods

What does a map of climate zones really look like
Distance to the equator is only one part of an arearsquos climate Things like the movement of the oceansand Earthrsquos tilt and rotation also affect how weather patterns move around the globe
If you classify the United States into climate zones using all of this information it actually lookssomething like this
This is an illustration of the climate zones within the United States The extra climate zone labeled H onthis map is a special zone called the highlands The highlands climate zone is characterized by weatherthat differs from the surrounding area because of mountains Credit NOAA (modified)
How can information about climate zones be used
Climate zones can be useful for gardening and farming Plants grow best in the climate conditionsthat are found in their native ecosystem For example if you want to plant an apple orchard in yourbackyard you should first check to see which varieties of apples are a good match for your regionrsquosclimate
This is called a Plant Hardiness Zone map Itrsquos a specific type of climate zone map that can help you figureout what kinds of plants will survive in your back yard Image credit USDAAgricultural ResearchServiceOregon State University
How do weather satellites play a role
Weather satellites mostly help with tracking conditions that are happening right now and forecastingweather in the near future However they also collect information that helps us monitor a regionrsquosclimate over time
For example satellites in the GOES-R seriesmdashshort for Geostationary Operational EnvironmentalSatellite-Rmdashcan monitor the sea surface temperature and the Gulf Stream a powerful current in theAtlantic Ocean Both of these things can influence a regionrsquos climate
In addition the temperature of the land becomes cooler at night and there are changes in theamount of clouds The GOES-R series satellites monitor cloudiness and land surface temperaturemdashinformation that helps scientists to understand how the differences between day and night can affecta regionrsquos climate
Satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) can also provide information on differencesbetween day and night For example JPSS orbits Earth twice a day in whatrsquos called an afternoonorbit As the satellite orbits from North Pole to South Pole it captures observations in the afternoonon one side of Earth and observations of the early morning on the other side of the planet
While JPSS orbits the satellites provide global observations of many other variables that influenceclimate such as atmospheric temperature and water vapor snow and ice cover vegetation sea andland surface temperature precipitation and more These add important information to our records ofregional differences in Earthrsquos climate

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years
I am a successful learner because
-I can describe and represent
number patterns in a variety of
ways
-I can use rich information from a

Angles Work Sheet
An angle is a measure of a turn measured in degrees or deg There are 360deg in a full turn You can find out the size of an angle using a protractor
bull An angle less than 90deg is acutebull An angle between 90deg and 180deg is obtusebull An angle greater than 180deg is reflexbull An angle of exactly 90deg is a right-angle
Task 1
Demonstrate the different angles above using your arms
Your body will be the vertex or the point of the angle and your arms will
represent the angles rays Demonstrate each angle with your arms and ask
a family member to take a photo and upload each photo to your ClassDojo
portfolio naming each angle
Task 2
Use the Angles Poster work sheet provided and create your own angles poster Look around your
home and get creative make sure your posters are colourful and bright You may even like to use

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

To loosen up wersquoll start with something we know
Calculate the area of these three shapes On the line below them explain how you worked them
out
In class we have had a lot of practise calculating the area of regular 2D shapes
Area is not limited to squares rectangles and triangles We can work out the of irregular shapes
too
In Mathematics irregular shapes are known as compound shapes The shapes below are
compound shapes Use the squares to work out their area

lsquocompoundrsquo means made up of more than one thing
When we need to work out the area of a compound shape that has no squares we look for the
regular shapes that have been used to create it

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Area Workout
The Warmup
To loosen up wersquoll start with something we know
Calculate the area of these three shapes On the line below them explain how you worked them
out
In class we have had a lot of practise calculating the area of regular 2D shapes
Area is not limited to squares rectangles and triangles We can work out the of irregular shapes
too
In Mathematics irregular shapes are known as compound shapes The shapes below are
compound shapes Use the squares to work out their area
Numeracy- Week 5 Learning from Home Pack

The word
lsquocompoundrsquo means made up of more than one thing
When we need to work out the area of a compound shape that has no squares we look for the
regular shapes that have been used to create it
That sounds scary but have a look at the next shape and work out the area Yoursquoll see itrsquos actually
very simple An example of how to split the shape up has been provided to help you
Monday Numeracy 0908This is a map of Ireland On the map key (white box) yoursquoll see a number scale
The small scale represents distance and surface area on the island
One CM on the map represents 50KM in real life
You have been learning about Asian countries this week
The shapes on the squared paper below represent two different countries
Using the scale provided and the squares inside the shapes to answer the
following questions
1 What is the surface area of each country of each country according to
the images

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main

computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers
Watch this short video to find out how the water we drink in Sydney
makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos

With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the

ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers
Watch this short video to find out how the water we drink in Sydney
makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

Meteorology Maths
In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East

Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which

Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo

Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Tuesday Read 1008
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo

Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people

however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians

BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the

ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather

the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years
I am a successful learner because
-I can describe and represent
number patterns in a variety of
ways
-I can use rich information from a

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers
Watch this short video to find out how the water we drink in Sydney
makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers

The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers
Watch this short video to find out how the water we drink in Sydney
makes it to our taps You can use the QR code or follow this link

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Water Water Everywhere but Not a Drop to Drink
Therersquos nothing more important to life on Earth than water
Did you know our planet is experiencing water scarcity Water scarcity is a shortage of fresh
water
Hundreds of millions of people around the world struggle to get the clean water they need for
drinking cooking bathing handwashing and growing their food
Watch this short video to find out more You can use the QR code or follow this link
httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=vSz9lRbl_0I
So if the earth is 70 water and 30 land how can there be a water shortage
67 of the earth is occupied by salt water Salt water is contained in our
oceans and seas Unfortunately it cannot be used for daily tasks like
bathing and cooking and we certainly canrsquot drink it
Fresh (non-salt) water occupies 3 of our planet Of this 3 2 is the
form of glaciers (land formed from ice and rock) That leaves just 1 in
the form of fresh water in our lakes and rivers

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

In your resources you will find 2 tables of data lsquoMurray River
Basinrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of South Australia
and the median water levels of the river per year
Similarly lsquoJohore River Bainrsquo shows weather patterns in this region of Malaysia and the
median percentage of the river filled per year
Use the data to answer the following questions
1 Look at the median temperature for both locations each year What does this data showHints Which location is hotter Do temperatures increase or decrease at each location
2 Look at the water levels in both tables What does the data showHints Do the water levels always fall at both locations Does one river appear more affected than the other Which river has
the biggest drop in water level and in what year
3 Do you think these locations were experiencing lsquoEl Ninorsquo Use the data to support your
answerHints What years are the hottest temperatures recorded Are the hottest temperatures at each location recorded in the same
years as each other What happens to the water levels of each river during the hottest years
4 Is there a relationship between the increase in global temperature and the weather
patterns at each locationHints Global Warming Climate Change Warmer water temperatures create lsquoEl Ninorsquo
5 Choose one pattern or relationship you see in the data and show it on a scattergram using
the grid on the next page You could show- the pattern between higher temperatures at the Murray River Basin and decreasing water levels
- annual temperature patterns at each location
- the pattern between increasing global temperatures and decreasing water levels in the Murray River Basin
ExtensionAnalysing data allows us to find patterns and relationships that help us make informed predictions This isimportant
for issues like climate change Predicting what the future might look like based on what is happening in the world now allows us
to take action and plan a healthier future for our planet
You may not realise it but making connections in patterns is a form of algebra
GTI=Y x 001 Use this equation predict how much the global temperature will have increased in 10 years 40 and 100 years

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In

Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the

3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris

Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers

include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of

cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which

of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main

Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the

as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers
Asiarsquos animals are as varied as its plants Northern
Asia has polar bears walruses moose and
reindeer while wild camels roam the Gobi Asiarsquos
reptiles include crocodiles king cobras and

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Asia is the largest and most populated continent It
has nearly one-third of the worldrsquos total land area
and is home to more than half of Earthrsquos people It
also has impressive geographical features It has
Earthrsquos highest point (Mount Everest) and lowest
point (the Dead Sea) Asia also includes some of the
worldrsquos wettest driest hottest and coldest places
The continent was the home of the great early
civilizations of Mesopotamia and the Indus River
valley The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism
Christianity Hinduism Islam and Judaismmdashall
began in Asia as well Today though many people
are farmers and live in small villages Asia also has
enormous cities including some of the worldrsquos
largest Beijing China Tokyo Japan Seoul South
Korea and Delhi India
With an area of more than 17 million square miles
(44 million square kilometers) Asia stretches from
the Arctic Ocean to the Equator It is bounded to
the east by the Pacic Ocean to the south by the
Indian Ocean to the southwest by the
Mediterranean and Black seas and to the west by
Europe In the southwest a narrow isthmus or
neck of land joins Asia to Africa The boundary
between Europe and Asia is generally considered to
lie along the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea
The Ural Mountains run through Russia so Russia
is partly in Asia and partly in Europe In the
southeast the islands of Sumatra and Borneo as
well as many smaller islands are parts of Asia
Because Asia is so vast and varied it is often
discussed in terms of regions The regions are
dened in dierent ways by dierent people
Sometimes they are based on geography
sometimes on political boundaries and sometimes
on shared cultural traits In general however the
continent can be grouped into six broad regions
Southwest South Southeast East North and
Central Asia Southwest Asia consists mainly of
countries on or near the Arabian Peninsula such
as Saudi Arabia Iran Iraq and Israel Most of
Turkey is also included in this group (Some of
Turkey is considered part of Europe) The countries

of Southwest Asia are also part of a region known
as the Middle East Much of the land in Southwest
Asia is desert
The main geographic features of South Southeast
and East Asia are great mountains high plains and
islands India and Pakistan are major countries in
South Asia Indonesia Malaysia Thailand the
Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia and
China Japan and North and South Korea are in East
Asia
Northern Asia also called Siberia is part of Russia
Siberia has mostly frozen plains and swampy forest
Because of the extreme cold few people live there
Most of Central Asia consists of desert but in the
north are vast grasslands
Mountains
The Himalayas in southern Asia include Mount
Everest on the border between China and Nepal
Mount Everest is 29032 feet (8849 meters) high
Also in the Himalayas K2 is the worldrsquos second
highest peak at 28251 feet (8611 meters) Other
major ranges include the Hindu Kush which runs
southwest through Afghanistan the Tien Shan in
the northeast and the Altai in the north
Rivers and Seas
The longest river in Asia is the Yangtze in China At
3915 miles (6300 kilometers) long the Yangtze is
also the third longest river in the world after the
Nile and the Amazon rivers Another major river is
the Huang He or Yellow River also in China The Ob
River in the Asian part of Russia is a long river that
ows through Siberia and empties into the Arctic
Ocean In India the Ganges River is important
because it is surrounded by highly populated places
and is considered holy by the Hindu Indians In
southeastern Asia are the Mekong and Irrawaddy
rivers The Indus River in South Asia and the Tigris
and Euphrates in southwestern Asia were the sites
of some of the worldrsquos earliest civilizations Asia also
contains the worldrsquos largest inland sea the Caspian
Sea
Because of the wide variety of climates and physical
features there are many types of plants In
northern Siberia lichens mosses and some
wildowers grow To the south are evergreen
forests and grasslands China has the most varied
vegetation of any country in the world Palm trees
and bamboo grow in the southern parts of China
South Korea and Japan In South and Southeast
Asia rainforest is the main natural vegetation
though large areas of trees have been cut down to
make room for farming In the mountains of
Southwest Asia there are forests of beech trees
evergreens hollies and creepers

komodo dragons Animals found only in Asia
include the orangutan giant panda Asian
elephant Siberian tiger Bengal tiger and Indian
rhinoceros However the population of many
animals in Asia has been reduced because of the
destruction of animal habitats and uncontrolled
hunting
Many dierent groups of people live in Asia Arabs
Jews Iranians and Turks are among the peoples of
Southwest Asia South Asia is home to Indian
peoples Southeast Asiarsquos many peoples and
cultures have been inuenced by India and China
The main peoples in East Asia are the Chinese
Japanese and Koreans Northern Asia includes
various Asian groups as well as Russians and other
Europeans
Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people
Hundreds of dierent languages can be heard
throughout the continent More than 250 languages
are spoken in Indonesia alone Some of the most
widely used languages in Asia include Arabic which
is spoken in parts of Southwest Asia Hindi spoken
in India and Chinese (Mandarin) spoken in China
Russian English and French are also spoken
The worldrsquos major religionsmdashBuddhism Hinduism
Islam Judaism and Christianitymdashall started in
Asia Today many people in Southeast and East
Asia follow Buddhism Hinduism is the main religion
in India and Nepal while Islam is practiced in much
of Southwest Asia and in Indonesia Malaysia
Pakistan and Bangladesh Judaism is the main
religion in Israel Christianity is practiced
throughout the continent but only in the
Philippines Russia and Armenia is it the main
religion
Israel Japan Singapore and South Korea have
excellent education and health care systems But
most of the rest of Asia is still developing The living
standards of many people are behind those in the
Western world In general problems with nutrition
are common Health and education services are
limited and are generally more available in cities
than in rural areas

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of
sh
Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

united South Asia about 300 BCE though others
eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At
the same time however many Asian countries
worked hard to improve their economies

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

eventually took over from them In the late 1100s CE
Muslim rulers took over part of the region
Chinese culture dominated East Asia China was
ruled by a series of dynasties for many thousands
of years from about the 1700s BCE to the 1900s CE
The Mongols a people from northern and Central
Asia ruled much of Asia during the 1200s and 1300s
CE
To take control of Asiarsquos vast wealth Europeans
conquered many Asian countries and made them
into colonies in the 1800s By the end of World War
II the colonies began to seek independence India
became free of British rule in 1947 France fought to
keep control of its colonies in Southeast Asia but
nally withdrew from the region in 1954 Most
Central Asian countries were part of the Russian
Empire and later the Soviet Union They became
independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union
in 1991
China also underwent major changes In 1912 the
last dynasty came to an end and the country
became a republic Chinarsquos government became
communist after communists won a civil war in
1949 Communists in Korea and Vietnam also
fought for control of those countries The Korean
War from 1950 to 1953 resulted in the separation
of Korea into two countries North Korea and South
Korea North Korea had a communist government
but South Korea did not The Vietnam War ended in
1975 with Vietnam united under a communist
government
In 1948 the country of Israel was created in the
Middle East as a homeland for the Jewish people
Arab countries opposed the creation of Israel
however and they and the Israelis fought a series of
wars Southwest Asia was the site of several other
conicts including the Iran-Iraq War (1980ndash88) the
Persian Gulf War (1991) and a US-led invasion of
Iraq (2003)
In the last half of the 1900s many Asian countries
had to deal with problems left over from the period
of European rule The boundaries of the European
colonies did not always match the natural divisions
of peoples cultures and physical regions When the
colonies gained independence they kept those
boundaries but there were often tensions between
the people who had been forced to live together At

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Throughout the 20th century as Asia became more
industrial people moved from villages into towns
and cities where they hoped to nd work and
better services for their families By the end of the
1990s at least 90 percent of the people in such
countries as Kuwait Israel and Singapore lived in
cities In China Vietnam and Nepal however less
than 40 percent lived in cities The lives of some
groups of people had hardly changed for centuries
Yet others saw their countries change greatly in a
short space of time because of the arrival of
Western culture and industrial methods One of the
problems faced by Asia at the beginning of the 21st
century was the fast rate at which its population
was increasing This population increase caused
problems such as food housing and land
shortages for the people

Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

Asia has one of the worldrsquos richest countries as well
as some of the poorest The economy of Japan is by
far the most advanced in Asia As other countries
have worked to develop industries and other
sources of income they have prospered as well
Nepal and some of the nations of Central Asia are
still among the poorest in the world As a whole
however Asia experienced steady economic growth
through the last decades of the 20th century
Agriculture is an important part of the economy in
many Asian countries In much of Asia the main
food crop is rice Wheat is important in parts of
northern Central Southwest and South Asia
Crops grown for sale include tea sugarcane
coconuts and rubber Sheep and goats are raised
for meat and wool in most of Asia China Japan
Indonesia India and Russia catch large amounts of

Asia has large reserves of almost every important
mineral The continent has more than half the
worldrsquos reserves of coal mostly in China Siberia
and India Major deposits of oil are found in Saudi
Arabia Iran Iraq the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar Asia also produces large amounts of iron
ore cast iron tin tungsten and rened zinc
Asiarsquos industrialized areas including Japan South
Korea the island of Taiwan and Singapore make a
wide variety of products China and parts of South
and Southeast Asia began developing their
manufacturing in the late 1900s South and
Southeast Asia produce traditional goods such as
textiles as well as technology products such as
computers Oil and gas are processed in Southwest
and Central Asia
Thousands of years ago Asia was home to three of
the worldrsquos rst civilizations Sometime after about
8000 BCE people who had roamed the region as
hunters and gatherers began to settle in one place
and farm the land These farmers eventually joined
together to form societies They developed written
languages and built large cities The rst such
society developed in Southwest Asia in a region
called Mesopotamia about 3500ndash3000 BCE A
civilization developed in the Indus River valley in
what is now Pakistan by about 2500 BCE Historians
believe that Chinese civilization began about 2500
BCE as well
Over time these civilizations changed as they were
taken over by other groups The Mesopotamian
kingdoms became part of the Greek and Persian
worlds In the 600s CE Islam was founded in Arabia
Arab Muslims took over Mesopotamia and then
moved into other parts of Asia
The Indus Valley civilization died out about 1700 BCE
At about this same time a people known as Aryans
invaded what is now India Their religion eventually
evolved into Hinduism The Mauryan Empire

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate
More than 100 years ago British geographer Andrew John Herbertson described the difference between climate and weather like this Climate is what we expect weather is what we get
Climate System
Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the
Thursday ndash Reading 1208
ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

Different parts of the world have different climates Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many climates that contribute to Earthrsquos biodiversity and geologic past
Climate is determined by a regionrsquos climate system A climate system has five major components the atmosphere the hydrosphere the cryosphere the land surface and the biosphere
The atmosphere consists of air and other gases and is the most variable part of the climate system The composition and movement of gases surrounding Earth can change radically influenced by natural and human-made factors
The hydrosphere corresponds to Earths water Its flow is affected by variations in temperaturegttemperature and salt levels Changes in the hydrosphere occur at much slower rates than changes in the atmosphere
The cryosphere is made up of ice sheets and glaciers which reflect sunlight rather than absorb it The thermal conductivity of ice and permafrostmdashwhich is to say the ease with which they transmit heatmdashprofoundly influences temperature The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation which is the movement of ocean currents
Vegetation and topographygttopography the physical features of land influence climate They affect what happens to the suns energy once it reaches Earths surface Types of land covermdashsuch as soil sand or asphaltmdashimpact evaporation and temperature as does plant cover
The biospheremdashthe sum total of living things on Earthmdashalso influences climate Through photosynthesis plants help regulate the flow of gases in the atmosphere Living organisms alter the landscape through both natural growth and buildings such as mounds and dams These altered landscapes can influence patterns of wind and temperature
Climate Features
The most familiar features of a regions climate are probably average temperature and precipitation Seasonal variations or changes also help determine climate
Other climate features include windiness humidity cloud cover atmospheric pressure and fogginess Landscape a regions elevation or height and its distance from water can all impact climate
All climates are the product of many factors including elevation and latitude For example higher elevations are typically cooler than lower elevations The location on a continent and distance from the

ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking

MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods

People often confuse weather and climate the difference is really a matter of time Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area In contrast weather can change from hour-to-hour day-to-day month-to-month or even year-to-year A regionrsquos weather patterns usually tracked for at least 30 years are considered its climate

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat

ocean also affect climate
The rainy tropical climate of West Africa for example is influenced by the regions location near the equator which is the line at 0 degrees latitude Its position on the western side of the continent is also a significant factor The area receives direct sunlight year-round and is located where moist trade winds meet As a result the regions climate is warm and rainy
Microclimates
No climate is the same across a whole region Small variations called microclimates exist in every climate region Microclimates are largely influenced by the presence of lakes vegetation and cities In large urban areas streets and buildings absorb heat from the sun The absorbed heat energy raises the average temperature of the city higher than average temperatures of more open areas nearby This is known as the ldquourban heat island effectrdquo
Influence of Climate
Earth has an enormous variety of life This diversity is largely due to the variety of climates that exist and the climate changes that have occurred in the past
Climate has also greatly influenced the development of cultures and civilizations People have adapted in various ways to the many climates where they have settled Climate affects the foods they eat the homes they build and clothing they wear
Climate Change
Climate does not change from day to day like weather but it does vary and change over time Climate changes happen slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years For example glacial periods have covered large portions of Earth with ice caps
Climate change can happen for many reasons For example after the eruption of the island volcano of Krakatoa Indonesia in 1883 winters and even summers in Asia and Europe were colder and darker Volcanic ash blocked the sun Climates around the world were changed for years
Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century human activity has been impacting climate Humans began putting massive amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere
Global warming is often associated with a runaway ldquogreenhouse effectrdquo The greenhouse effect describes the process in which certain gases trap solar radiation in a planets lower atmosphere These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) methane and ozone Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy from sunlight and trap it as heat inside the atmosphere In this way these gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon However human activities that include burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests release greater amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere As a result our planets temperature has risen about 2deg F since the late 19th century Sixteen of the last 17 warmest years on record have occurred in the 21st century
Most climate scientists say that we should reduce our greenhouse-gas emissions Changing humanitys impact on the worlds climate though requires long-range planning and commitment

JACK This might look like an ordinary garden filled with ordinary plants But those in the know will tell you its more like a kitchen pantry filled with delicious foods just waiting to be cooked And thats exactly what these guys plan on doing
CLAIRE Jack You know you cant eat that it has to be cooked first
JACK Yeah I knew that
DOUGLAS Well this is our Indigenous edible garden We have lots of Indigenous plants that we like to use for cooking We look after the plants we plant the plants we also put mulch around make the place look nice we water the plants and take care of them Its really fun getting your hands dirty
JACK So what is this
MIA This is warrigal greens theyre a type of spinach They grow like a lot
JACK And we cant eat them
LOGAN You can but you have to cook them first so you dont get sick
JACK Ok well thats good to know
The garden also includes stacks of other native foods like lemon scented grass wattle seed and Old Mans Salt bush
JACK And what can this be used for
ASHLEY Soups and salads
Theyre just some of the almost 6 and a half thousand different types of native foods or bush tucker our country has to offer For the past 60 thousand years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been growing and harvesting native plants and not just for food Some are used for healing like Arrethe which can help ease cold and flu symptoms or some are used to make tools like Cumbungi which can be weaved to make nets But the plants in this garden are used for cooking
Friday ndash Reading 1308
JACK Right so weve got our warrigal greens from the garden what are we going to be making
MIA were going to be making warrigal greens and feta triangles
JACK Yum do you want some help cutting
MIA Yes please you have to do them very fine
JACK I will do them very fine
In the past few years the Bush Tucker industry has really taken off with things like Kakadu plum yogurt bush apples and goats cheese coated in a lemon myrtle and green ant crumb delish Now a group of scientists from the University of Queensland reckon its time Aussies embraced the native foods our country has to offer So theyve been working with local Indigenous communities to try and boost the bush tucker industry in Australia and take it global
MADONNA THOMSON NYANDA ABORIGINAL CULTURAL TOURS It means we get to reinforce that information for ourselves and then share that passion and knowledge Not only with members of our family groups but with the public as well so that we can develop a combined appreciation of just how wealthy Australia is in terms of its native foods
JACK And on that note I think its time to eat
