Geography:
The Korean Peninsula extends about 1, 104 km from the Asian continent, bordering the Yellow Sea and Korea Bay in the west, the Sea of Japan in the east, and the Korean Strait and the East China Sea in the south. Most of the northern areas are mountainous areas, with deep valleys and narrow valleys in the northeast, while most of the coastal plains are in the west, with cultivated land accounting for 14.4%. The main rivers include the Yalu River and Tumen River on the border between the DPRK and China and the Datong River in the west of the Korean Peninsula.
climate
North Korea has a temperate monsoon climate, with more rainfall in the rainy season in summer and sometimes very cold in winter. The average annual temperature is 8 ~12 C, and the average annual precipitation is 1000 ~ 1200mm. The largest city in North Korea is the capital Pyongyang with a population of 3.28 million. Other major cities include Kaesong in the south, Sinuiju in the northwest, Yuanshan and Xianxing in the east and Jinqing in the northeast.
mineral
North Korea is rich in mineral resources, with more than 300 proven minerals, including more than 200 useful minerals. The reserves of graphite and magnesite are among the highest in the world. Iron ore, aluminum, zinc, copper, gold, silver and other non-ferrous metals, coal, limestone, mica, asbestos and other non-metallic minerals are rich in reserves, as well as oil resources. Among them, Maoshan Iron Mine, located in the border area between China and North Korea in North Hamgyong Province, has proven reserves of over 5 billion tons and mining capacity of 3 billion tons. Water power and forest resources are also abundant.
Based on 2008, the total value of underground mineral resources in North Korea is as high as 6,983 trillion won (about 6.4 trillion US dollars), including 2,000 tons of gold, 50 million tons of iron, 6 billion tons of magnesite, 4.5 billion tons of anthracite and 2.9 million tons of copper. Only one magnesite being developed in North Korea is enough for North Korea to use10.8 million years.
There are more than 200 kinds of minerals with abundant reserves, with an estimated value of about 6 trillion. Since 2065438+September 2002, intensive investment promotion activities have been continuously carried out in Beijing, Dandong and other parts of the country. This "hermit country" contains more than 200 kinds of rich minerals, not only iron ore and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper, gold and silver, but also non-metallic minerals such as coal, limestone, mica and asbestos, and even oil resources.
