'''South Asia''' (or '''Southern Asia''') is the southern part of the continent of Asia. It is also known as [[Indian subcontinent]].
There are 8 countries in this region. It is surrounded by (clockwise) [[Middle East|West Asia]], [[Central Asia]], [[Eastern Asia]], [[Southeastern Asia]] and the Indian Ocean. Major countries in this part of the world are as follows:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/COUNTRIES/SOUTHASIAEXT/0,,contentMDK:21133060~pagePK:146736~piPK:146830~theSitePK:223547,00.html|title=Afghanistan|accessdate=13 December 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/asia/south-asia/afghanistan.aspx|title=Afghanistan|accessdate=13 December 2014|archive-date=1 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101205850/http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/asia/south-asia/afghanistan.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://saarc-sec.org/afghanistan/|title=South Asian Association For Regional Coorporation|access-date=2014-12-21|archive-date=2015-01-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150104200445/http://www.saarc-sec.org/afghanistan/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The natural resource most used by the people is the rich land. Most of the people living there are [[farmer]]s. They produce lots of [[cashew]]s, rice, [[peanut]]s, sesame seeds, and [[tea]]. Lots of natural gas are there, but these resources are usually underdeveloped. Many people there raise [[cattle]] and [[sheep]]. The cattle are raised for their milk or to carry things in Hindu areas. In India, the cattle are very important to the environment because the manure is a fertilizer for agriculturists.

The [[climate]] of South Asia can be divided into three basic kinds: [[tropic]]al, dry, and [[wikt:temperate|temperate]]. The northeast is from tropical to subtropical (temperate). Moving west the [[water|moisture]] and [[wikt:elevation|elevation]] change, causing a steppe and a desert climate that is like the [[Middle East]]. There is also a part of steppe climate in the center of the lower peninsula. Two parts of the South Asia climate especially affect the people. One like the ''[[monsoon]]s''.<ref name="world">{{cite book|url=|title=World Studies for Christian Schools

In the extreme north of [[India]] and [[Pakistan]], the climate is affected by the [[mountain]]s.<ref name=world/> There is a mild climate near the [[Indus River|Indus river]] where farmers grow crops like rice and tea.
