Hello everyone, I am the future Xiaolai, and today I bring you the following article.
The relationship between European topography and population densityEuropean terrain typesEuropean terrain is mainly composed of plains, hills and mountains, with plain terrain accounting for 60% of the total area and nearly 3 million square kilometers of cultivated land. Topographic map of China. China's terrain is dominated by mountains, hills and plateaus, with an area of about 1.8 billion mu, only one-third of Europe's. Population density in Europe The total area of Europe is about 10.16 million square kilometers, and the population is only 73.9 billion people, less than half of China's. In addition to topography, climate is also an important factor affecting grain production. China straddles the first zone and the temperate zone, and the thermal conditions are better.
The cooler climate in Europe is not conducive to food production. When looking at the relationship between topography and population density in Europe, we find that topography has an important impact on population distribution and food production. Europe has a flat terrain and extensive arable land, but due to climate constraints, food production is not high and population density is low. In contrast, China's terrain is complex and arable land is limited, but due to better climatic conditions, food production is relatively high, and population density is also large. It can be said that topography and climate together affect population distribution and food production, and this is an important reason why the population of Europe is much smaller than that of China.
Feel free to leave a comment to discuss, what are your thoughts on the relationship between topography and population density in Europe?Differences in agricultural production between China and Europe: Heat determines yieldChina's agricultural production has rich geographical and climatic advantages, which directly affect the growth and yield of crops. It is important to note that heat largely determines the yield and ripening of crops.
In China, grain can be harvested once a year in Northeast China, three crops in two years in North China, two crops in one year in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and three crops in a year in the southern coastal areas. In contrast, the situation in Europe is not satisfactory, many regions can only "harvest once a year", and some regions can not even achieve "one crop a year", so they can only develop animal husbandry. Influence of precipitation, light and historical factorsIn terms of precipitation, China has abundant precipitation in summer, and the rain and heat are in the same period, and the hydrothermal conditions are well coordinated, which is suitable for agricultural production.
In the Mediterranean coastal region of southern Europe, the summer is hot and dry, with different periods of rain and heat, which is not conducive to grain cultivation. In terms of light, although China's monsoon climate has a lot of precipitation, the light conditions are relatively superior. However, the temperate oceanic climate zone in Europe is mild and humid all year round, with many rainy weather and clouds, which weakens solar radiation and lacks sunlight, which greatly affects the grain yield. In addition, there are few countries in China's history that are relatively stable, which provides favorable conditions for agricultural production. For a long time, Europe was full of countries, and wars and turmoil affected the development of agricultural production.
China's Advantages in Agricultural ProductionChina's agricultural production has achieved fruitful results due to geographical and climatic factors, which not only makes China one of the countries with rich food resources in the world, but also affects the world grain market to a certain extent. China's stable agricultural production, abundant heat, abundant precipitation, and excellent sunlight conditions provide favorable conditions for the growth of crops. The stability of agricultural production has also made China an important grain exporter, making important contributions to the healthy development of the national economy. However, China's agricultural production also faces some challenges.
With the acceleration of urbanization and the development of industrialization, agricultural land has been compressed, peasant labor has outflowed, and agriculture is facing the pressure of land resources. At the same time, climate change and environmental pollution have also had a significant impact on agricultural production. Compared with China, the current situation of agricultural production in Europe is facing different challenges. Due to the limitations of climate and geography, agricultural production in some parts of Europe has been affected to a certain extent, and grain production is not as abundant as in China.
Especially in the northern part of the Nordic region and the northern part of the East European Plain, due to the limitation of climatic conditions, agricultural production has been greatly affected, and there is rarely large-scale grain cultivation. However, the development of agricultural science and technology in Europe is very advanced, agricultural production methods and technologies are constantly updated, and the degree of agricultural mechanization is high, which to a certain extent makes up for the impact of climate and geography and other factors on agricultural production. At the same time, Europe also attaches great importance to environmental protection and sustainable development in agricultural production, which provides more guarantees for agricultural production.
Summary: China's agricultural production benefits from abundant geographical and climatic resources, and stable agricultural production has made an important contribution to the healthy development of the national economy. Although agricultural production in Europe is limited by factors such as climate and geography, agricultural science and technology are developed and environmental awareness is strong, which provides more guarantees for agricultural production. Different countries have their own characteristics and advantages in agricultural production, and it is necessary to seek more cooperation and exchanges in the face of challenges to jointly promote the sustainable development of global agriculture. What do you think can be learned from agricultural production in China and Europe?What are the implications for global agricultural development?
