The intence tempetures of South Asia make the water evaporate quickly and dries up the soil. In the Deccan Plateau and the western Pakistan there are almost no rainfall the cause for this are the monsoons (winds). This may also cause droughts and destroy crops.To much rain is sometimes bad because it can cause floods and drown flat lands for example in Bangladesh. Another type of disaster are cyclone. A cyclone are tropical storm. This disaster can cause tidal waves. For example a huge cyclone happened in India in 1999 causing the death of nearly 10,000 people.

The climate is cold and wet in the tropical areas.Tropical areas are mainly in Bangladesh and southern Sri Lanka. Tropical areas recieve heavy rainfall caused by monsoons.In these tropical areas there are normally green grass and has wet seasons, it turns brown in the long dry seasons. During these wet climates heavy rainfall may happen.most of bangladesh gets 100 inches of rain fall per year.All this rainfall makes it the wettest spots on earth.

South asia has many higlands around the edge.It is so cold in the highlands snow does'nt disapears and plants can't survive.As you go down the mountain slope the climate gets more temperate.Not many people live on the highlands because it very cold.

Asias climate hasn't only affected them physicaly but also economicly. All this also affects on the sea level and rising temperature. The changes of temperature cause more powerfull floods, droughts, and storms. These changes mainly affect the poor. If they keep it up at this rate in the future glaciers maymelt and cause damadge on water resources. Ther crops yields may lower.
