Answer 1

Answer:Agriculture remains the mainstay of Asia, though the proportion of the population engaged in agriculture is steadily declining.

Parts of South and East Asia can support dense populations. Moister regions in the southwest—for example, in Turkey and northern Iran—support large populations.
