Chinese Geography

China is located in southeast Asia on the South China Sea and East China Sea (Both of these sea's are in the Pacific Ocean). China's approximate coordinates are (100° North , 40° East. China has lots of different mountain ranges and plateaus, including Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. China also has one of the worlds largest plateaus; The Tibetan Plateau with an average elevation of 4,500 meters, the highest and biggest plateau in the world, covering 2.5 million square kilometers.
China has many geographical landmarks including Mount Everest, The Great Wall of China, The Tibetan Plateau, Longsheng Rice Terrace, Li River in Guangx, Taklamakan Desert, and the Luoping in Yunnan. Pictures will be above for a visual aid. The Chinese climate during summer is usually warm with storms and rain showers. But during winter it can bring up a monstorous blizzard. During the summer the biggest storms are known as monsoons and typhoons. These bigger storms usually are fueled by the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean and if the storms are over the ocean long enough a global superstorm can be formed and this can leave whatever cities it hits without power for many days at a time.
