Rich in water resources, but not fully developed, the manufacturing industry is underdeveloped, and the light industry is mainly textiles, paper, glass, soap, cigarettes and so on.

Formation of Malay Archipelago

1. From the perspective of plate "migration", it is located at the junction of the Pacific plate moving westward and the Indian Ocean plate moving northward, the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. Several plates collided and squeezed with each other, which made the crust fold and uplift here, protruding out of the sea and forming islands.

2. Most of the islands are close to the ocean trench, and the trench belt is broken, and volcanic and seismic activities are frequent, which is easy to form volcanic islands. Advantages and disadvantages of China Zodiac

3. The seawater temperature here is high, which is beneficial to coral reproduction. Coral is an "expert" in island building, which can create a large number of coral reefs. For example, Australia's Great Barrier Reef is made of coral.

There is a very broad continental shelf here, which is the "home" of the mainland. With the change of land and sea, a larger mainland island can be formed.

Why is it called Malay Archipelago?

Malay archipelago-the largest archipelago in the world. Because the aborigines of the islands are mainly Malays, they are called "Malay Islands". It is also one of the places where overseas Chinese are concentrated, so it is also called "Nanyang Islands" in China. "east indies" is sometimes used as a synonym for islands.

The population of Malay archipelago countries

Most Malay archipelago countries are Austronesian ethnic groups, belonging to the southern subspecies of Mongolian race (Mongolian race mixed with Australian brown race), and Malay islanders believe in * * * religion. I also believe in Buddhism. With a population of over 300 million, the island with the highest population density is Java. The main ethnic group is Malays. (fortune telling)

Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei and other countries living in Southeast Asia are still called Malays. Most of them are Malays and descendants of Malays, and their society, economy and culture are relatively developed. With the development of history, these Malays began to show differences, each with its own national characteristics. Malays in Malaysia call themselves Malays. Mainly distributed in the south-central Malay Peninsula and Sarawak. Many people are China, Indian, Thai and descendants of * * *. Malay is used, belonging to the Indonesian family of Austronesian languages, and there are many dialects. Originally used * * * letters, later changed to Latin letters. Originally believed in Hinduism, Buddhism and animism, most of them converted to * * * religion at the end of 15, belonging to Sunnis. Some people believe in Christianity and Catholicism. Family organizations are generally two-line except the matriarchal system of Nansenbilan. Malays mainly grow rice, rubber, coconut, coffee, cinchona and oil palm, and have excellent vegetable planting techniques. Fisheries and navigation are developed.

Malays in a broad sense refer to ethnic groups distributed in the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean island countries. It belongs to Mongolian Malay type. The commonly used language is the Indonesian family of Austronesian languages. Its ethnic origin is still inconclusive. Most researchers believe that the ancestors of Malays gradually moved southward from the interior of Asia about 5,000 years ago, moved to Indo-China Peninsula, entered Sumatra via the Malay Peninsula (andaman islands), and then spread eastward to Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and the Philippine Islands, and westward to Madagascar. This wave of migration lasted for thousands of years. Generally speaking, according to the migration time, there are two kinds: primitive Malays (including ancient Malays) and new Malays. The migration time of primitive Malays was about 3000- 1000 BC, and the social development level was low. New Malays migrated to the 2nd century BC-16th century BC, and were influenced by Indian, China and * * * cultures, with a high level of social development. Malays from all over the world left a large number of descendants in their distribution areas, and mixed with local residents and each other to varying degrees, and developed into Javanese, Sunda, Madura, Tagalog, Ifugao, Madagascar and other ethnic groups with different names.
