		Thus, average January temperatures are -8°C in St. Petersburg, -27°C in the West Siberian Plain, and -43°C at Yakutsk (in east-central Siberia, at approximately the same latitude as St. Petersburg), while the winter average on the Mongolian border, whose latitude is some 10° farther south, is barely warmer.

		In eastern China, the Mongolian and Ordos plateaus, which formed relatively recently, are thought to be a secondary effect of plate movement.

		Nearly all of the mountain ranges in western China have formed as a result of this tectonic activity; frequent earthquakes in the region testify to its ongoing effect.
