Since there is such a dramatic change in temperature from summer to winter, the nomadic people of Kyrgyzstan need to build their homes in such a way where they can take off layers in the summer to stay cool, and add layers in the winter to stay warm. Plus, there is an average amount of rain and sun, which enables people to farm and grow crops in more nomadic regions.

However, an abundance of uranium mines can hurt the environment and still be dangerous years after they stop operating. Plus minerals are non-renewable, which means that the important natural resources like coal, antimony, and uranium will eventually run out.

Since there are many mountains, this acts as an abundance of protection against other nations. Plus the many valleys caused by the mountains give a lot of fertile soil, creating a perfect place to farm crops. The many alpine lakes create safe drinking water, since the lakes are filled with fresh water and can be boiled to be filtered. To add, the rivers can also be used to farm, fish, and act as a water source. Since there is so much water, Kyrgyzstan's main source of energy might be hydropower, and the mountains and valleys make most of the land a safe haven for farming. Although the mountains do create a natural barrier, they also keep the country isolated. Also, since they take up most of the land, only a little bit is left for civilization, which makes it hard for people to thrive.
