I have a problem with two questions on my geography worksheet on East Asia. I need to know the city between Shanghai and Nanjing (Nanking?) and the mountains west of Tokyo. The catch is, the answer to the Shanghai/Nanjing question has the letter "o" repeated. The same goes for the Tokyo question, except the letter "m" is repeated. Can anyone help me please? Thanks much.
The problem is that translating Asian characters into our Roman alphabet isn't easy. Is it possible that the city is Suzhoo (Suzhou) or Changhzoo)Changhzoo)? They have the same sounds, but, the spelling hasn't been standardized. Try looking for the mountains with the "M" sound in the same place.
That's been a problem answering other questions on the worksheet, too, with the different spellings of names (like Ulaan Baatar for Mongolia). On the worksheet, the two o's are the second and third letters of the 7-letter city. This helps, though. Thanks.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. The answer to the southern province of China is Yunnan. As for the mountains in western Japan, I can think of no mountain with a double M!
To find the city between Shanghai and Nanjing with the repeated letter "o," you can start by looking for cities that fit this criteria and have a similar pronunciation. One possibility is Suzhou, which is located between Shanghai and Nanjing. Another possibility is Changzhou, which is also located in that region. However, spelling variations can occur when translating Asian characters into the Roman alphabet, so it's important to note that the spelling may not be standardized.
As for the mountains west of Tokyo with the repeated letter "m," I couldn't find any specific mountains that fit this description. It's possible that the question may not have a correct answer or that the specific mountains being referred to are not widely known or recognized.
When dealing with geography questions and translations, it is not uncommon to encounter variations in spellings and names. This can be especially true when translating characters and sounds from Asian languages into Roman alphabets. It's important to consider different possibilities and variations when researching and answering such questions.
In cases like this, it's always a good idea to consult multiple sources, such as maps, geographical guides, or reliable online resources, to get the most accurate and comprehensive information.
