Question

Compose a paragraph that identifies and describes each of the three Siberian regions.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three unique Siberian regions: the Western Siberian Plain, the Central Siberian Plateau, and the Eastern Siberian Highlands. The Western Siberian Plain is the largest plain in the world. It is rich in natural resources, which has allowed the population to increase across the region. The Central Siberian Plateau is also rich in natural resources. It has streams, mountains, and forests, and the land slopes upward as it passes from the coastal shores through the southern portion of the country. The Eastern Siberian Highlands are located all the way to the east of Russia. They include the Kamchatka Peninsula, which contains many active volcanoes, including Klyuchevskaya. The population in this region is very low due to its harsh climate.

Answer 2

Siberia is a vast region, mostly in the territory of Russia, and it is divided into three large regions.

Western Siberian Plain/Lowland

Located between the Ural Mountains and the Yenisei River. Occupies the western part of Siberia, and it is mostly composed of lowlands covered with dense forest, the taiga. The northern part is dominated by the tundra.

Central Siberian Plateau

Located between the Yenisei River and the Lena River. Occupies the central part of Siberia, and it is mostly dominated by a plateau which gains in height on the southern part and is lowering on the northern part. The lower parts are covered with the taiga, while the higher are barren. The northern part is dominated by the tundra.

East Siberian Highlands

Located between the Lena River and the Pacific Ocean. Occupies the eastern part of Siberia, and the dominated land forms are the mountains, mostly the Kolyma Mountains. Depending on the elevation, the lower parts are covered with the taiga, while the higher are barren. The northern part is dominated by the tundra.
