Module for studying the geographical location of the Eurasian continent

The material can be used to organize independent work students when studying the topic "Eurasia. Geographical location"...

Eurasia is the greatest continent globe. It occupies 1/3 of the entire landmass of the planet. The enormous size and complex structure of the earth's crust create uniquely diverse natural conditions.

In Eurasia there is the highest mountain on Earth - Chomolungma (Everest), the largest mountain system in area - Tibet, the largest peninsula - the Arabian, the largest geographical area - Siberia, the lowest point of land - the Dead Sea depression.

Geographical location of Eurasia

Using the map, let's determine the geographical location of Eurasia according to plan:

Rice. 1. Geographical location of Eurasia

In which hemispheres is the continent located?

a) Relative to the equator, the continent lies almost entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. The exception is the southern islands of the mainland.

b) Relative to the prime meridian, almost the entire continent is located in the Eastern Hemisphere, only the extreme west of Eurasia enters the Western Hemisphere.

What oceans wash the continent?

From the north - the Arctic Ocean,

from the south – Indian, from the west – Atlantic,

from the east - the Pacific Ocean.

Location relative to other continents

Eurasia borders many continents, which have a certain influence on it. The direct connection with Africa through the Suez Canal and with North America through the Bering Strait was the reason for the similarities organic world these continents.

Rice. 2. Extreme points of the mainland

Eurasia – two parts of the world

Eurasia is formed by two parts of the world - Europe and Asia.

The conventional border between them is usually drawn along the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains, along the Emba River, the northern coast of the Caspian Sea and the Kuma-Manych depression. The maritime border runs along the Azov and Black Seas, as well as the straits connecting the Black and Mediterranean Seas - the Bosporus and Dardanelles.

(Find all the objects on the physical map of the mainland.)

Coastline outline

Eurasia is distinguished by its highly rugged coastline, especially in the west of the continent.

The physical map of the continent shows that the Atlantic Ocean protrudes deeply into the land, separating the Scandinavian Peninsula. In the south of the continent they stand out for their size Arabian and Hindustan peninsulas. They are washed by the Indian Ocean. There are few islands off the southern coast of Eurasia, the largest is Sri Lanka. The coastline of the mainland is noticeably indented in the east; it is washed by the Pacific Ocean. The marginal seas are separated from the Pacific Ocean by a chain of peninsulas (the largest is Kamchatka) and islands, the largest - Greater Sunda. The Arctic Ocean, which washes the continent from the north, juts shallowly into the land. The largest peninsulas are Kola, Taimyr, Chukotka.

The teacher creates a positive attitude towards work at the beginning of the lesson.

Guys, many of you, like me, love to travel. But what kind of journey can there be in the middle? school year? And so I remembered the words of the poet A. Tvardovsky:

There are two categories of travel.

One is to set off into the distance,

The other is to sit still.

Flip back through the calendar.

I took an old calendar and on one of the pages I saw a picture of a beautiful (antique) ship running on the waves and I really wanted to go on a new journey on it

I invite you to take this journey together.

And so, from today’s lesson you will begin to discover the continent of Eurasia. You will learn about its nature, the uniqueness of the organic world, about the countries and peoples inhabiting Eurasia.

Slide 3 Let's write it down in a notebook

The topic of our lesson is “Geographical location and history of exploration of Eurasia.”

Your main task in the lesson is to develop the ability to determine the geographical location of the continent. Identify the features of the continent that make it unique and different from all other continents. You will get acquainted with the names of researchers who made a great contribution to the study of Eurasia.

Moreover, you already know how to discover continents.

What continents have you already discovered and explored?

I offer you a game: based on its characteristics, determine which continent we are talking about and show it on the map. (Presentation)

SLIDES 5-6

The equator runs almost in the middle.
It ranks second in area.
The hottest continent. (AFRICA)

SLIDES 7-8

Driest continent
The most remote continent.
The smallest in area. (AUSTRALIA)

SLIDES 9-10

3. The wettest continent.

The longest mountain range on land is located here. There are many deep rivers flowing on the mainland. (SOUTH AMERICA)

SLIDES 11-12

4. A continent covered with a layer of ice.

This continent was discovered by Lazarev and Bellingshausen. There is no state here. (ANTARCTICA)

SLIDES 13-14

This continent lies in the northern and western hemisphere. Part of this continent belonged to Russia. This is the most indented coastline. (NORTH AMERICA)

So, when going on a trip to Eurasia, let's remember the area of the mainland?

Go to the board and show all the continents and their areas.

While exploring the continents, you and I collected a PORTFOLIO (in other words, we kept a ship's diary, as is done on all ships), tell us what is IN YOUR POTFOLIO

From today's lesson we begin to collect a portfolio on EURASIA.

Eurasia is the continent on which we live. This is the greatest continent on Earth. It occupies 1/3 of the entire landmass. This is the largest and most complex continent on Earth.

The huge continent extends far beyond the Arctic Circle in the north, and reaches the equator in the south.

From west to east its length is 16 thousand km, and from north to south 8 thousand km. If we take into account the islands, then the territory of Eurasia does not reach only about 10 degrees North Pole and enters the Southern Hemisphere at 11 degrees.

Now LET'S try to determine the geographical location of the continent. You already know how to do this. Therefore, today you will work independently using cards - modules.

1.When working, you can use the text of the textbook, atlas maps, and additional sources of information.

2. Please note that on the table of EACH group there is also a ship. During the lesson you must give it a name and explain why you gave it this “Name”

3. For each student there are two applications on the table: STUDENT WORKSHEET (Appendix 1) and Plan for describing the geographical location of the continent (Appendix 2), take them and look at them carefully. Have questions?

4. For each student on the table there is a table, which we will fill out at the beginning of the lesson, a test to consolidate the knowledge acquired during the lesson, and a self-assessment questionnaire, which we will fill out at the end of the lesson.

WELL, THE WIND IS BLOWING FAIR AND IT’S TIME FOR US TO HIT THE WAY.

Students work independently using module cards. There is a collective discussion of the assigned tasks in stages. On interactive whiteboard(on the contour map of Eurasia) students label the extreme points of the continent, the oceans washing the continent, and coastline objects. The physical map of Eurasia shows seas, straits, islands, peninsulas, archipelagos.

(The rest of the students, together with the speakers, fill out the outline map)

What is Eurasia?

This is Europe plus Asia.

Arose from two parts

The largest continent.

Indeed, Eurasia consists of two parts: Europe and Asia.

Europe occupies the part of Eurasia west of the Ural Mountains and north of the Caucasus Mountains and the Sea of Marmara.

Europe is sometimes called the "Old World". It has been inhabited and explored for a long time. Here they originated and developed ancient civilizations. However, long-term, often predatory human activity has greatly changed the pristine nature. Forests were cut down, steppes were plowed up, which appeared natural environment habitats of animals, many species of animals and birds were exterminated.

There are no places left in Europe where no human has set foot.

Thank you. We listen to a message about Asia.

Asia is the largest part of the world. It occupies a third of the earth's land and extends from the Arctic Ocean to the equator.

Here are the greatest mountain systems - the HIMALAYAS, Tien Shan, Greater Caucasus, Gobi Desert. Lake Baikal (the deepest in the world).

The plant and animal world of Asia amazes with its diversity and richness.

Asia is the birthplace of many plants that have become common agricultural crops. The fauna is also diverse and exotic.

The border between Europe and Asia is 5,100 km long.

Remember, the conventional border is usually drawn along the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains, along the Emba River, the northern coast of the Caspian Sea and the Kuma-Manych depression. The maritime border runs along the Azov and Black Seas, as well as through the straits connecting the Black and Mediterranean Seas.

It is possible to talk about the discovery of Eurasia only conditionally - after all, it was from Europe that the discoverers of America, Australia and Antarctica set off. Not surprisingly, most of the research took place in the Asian part of the mainland. The most famous are the travels of Marco Polo, Afanasy Nikitin, and the exploration of Tian Shansky.

Pre-prepared students will tell us in more detail about these studies. Your task will be to listen carefully to your classmates, and fill out the table IN YOUR WORKSHEETS.

What is the merit in studying the Eurasian continent?

(Central Asia. Traveled about 33 thousand km. Studied the Tibetan range, the Gobi Desert, the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze (China), described plants and animals, described a wild horse and a camel. During the trip, he plotted his route on the map, determined coordinates and altitudes, carried out meteorological observations, collected collections of rocks and plants.)

What is the merit of Semenov-Tyan-Shansky in the study of the Eurasian continent?

(He made expeditions to the Tien Shan Mountains twice. He discovered the Khan Tengri peak, proved the drainage of Lake Issyk-Kul, its tectonic origin. For his great merits, the name of the mountain system was added to the name of the scientist. A mountain range, a high peak and a glacier in Central Asia were named after him last name)

Whose name is Cape Chelyuskin named after?

(named after the participant of the Great Northern Expedition, navigator Semyon Chelyuskin,

who discovered this cape in 1741, drew a map and described it.)

Who is Cape Dezhnev named after?

(named after the Russian explorer who first passed the strait in 1648

between Asia and America.)

Who gave the name to the Chukotka Peninsula?

(named Bering after the local inhabitants - the Chukchi. Translated from Chukchi, “Chukchi” means “rich in deer.”)

Read the text. Fill in the blanks in the forms.

Eurasia is the largest continent on Earth, with an area of 53.893 million km², which is 36% of the land area. Population - more than 4.947 billion (2010), which is about 3/4 of the population of the entire planet. This is the only continent on Earth washed by four oceans: in the south - the Indian, in the north - the Arctic, in the west - the Atlantic, in the east - the Pacific. Eurasia has the most high mountains on Earth - the Himalayas (ind. Abode of Snow), and the Eurasian mountain systems of the Himalayas, Tibet, Hindu Kush, Pamir, Tien Shan, etc. form the largest mountain region on Earth. Chomolungma (Everest) is the highest peak in the world, height 8848 meters. The lowest point of land is also located here - the Dead Sea depression (-405 m). The deepest lake on Earth is located in Eurasia - Baikal, its depth is 1642 m. The largest peninsula is the Arabian. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the wettest place on Earth is the city of Cherrapunji (12000 mm), located in northeast India. At the junction of Europe and Asia, there is the largest closed lake on Earth - the Caspian Sea, so called because of its enormous size. Eurasia is home to the largest country in the world - Russia, and the most populous city on Earth - Seoul (Korea).

Eurasia is the largest continent on the planet, occupying 1/3 of the entire landmass. This is the only continent on Earth that is washed on all sides by the waters of the World Ocean; its coastline is heavily indented, and a large number of tiny and very large peninsulas jut into the ocean. The focus of our article is on the peculiarities of the geographical location of Eurasia.

General information

The size of Eurasia cannot fail to impress: the total area of the continent is 54 million square meters. km, and the islands belonging to it occupy an area of 3.45 million square meters. km.

Eurasia is a very large continent, occupying almost the entire Northern Hemisphere. It also covers a small portion of the Southern Hemisphere with its adjacent islands. The length of Eurasia from west to east is 18 thousand km, and from north to east - 8 thousand km.

Due to its impressive size and great extent, Eurasia has all climatic zones and natural areas, which successively replace each other. Thanks to this, the nature of the continent is characterized by amazing diversity: here are lands bound eternal ice, dense taiga forests, endless steppes, sultry deserts and humid equatorial jungles.

Rice. 1. Nature of Eurasia.

Historically, the giant continent is usually divided into two parts of the world: Asia and Europe. Despite the fact that there is no contrasting difference between them, they are separated by a conventional border running along the ridges of the Ural Mountains, the coasts of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, through the Bosphorus and Gibraltar Straits.

Eurasia is divided unevenly into parts of the world: Europe occupies only 20% of the continent's land surface.

Eurasia has connections with Africa through the Suez Canal, and the continent is connected to North America through the small Bering Strait.

The western region of Eurasia is characterized by a pronounced rugged coastline. In Europe, the maximum distance from the sea coast is approximately 600 km. The interior regions of Asia, due to their large size, are located at a much greater distance from the seas - up to 1500 km. No region on any continent is located so far from the sea coast.

Extreme points of the continent

The exploration of the continent by brave travelers and explorers made it possible to find out the exact geographical location of Eurasia, create accurate maps and come to the realization that the vast open territories represent a single continent of immense size.

Due to its relatively small size and high population density, Europe was developed quickly. The situation was different with Asia, which for many years remained a mystery to European researchers. Later than other regions, the North of Eurasia was developed, which for a long time scared off travelers with its harsh climate.

The extreme points of the Eurasian continent include:

North – Cape Chelyuskin (77°43′ N), located on the Taimyr Peninsula.
South - Cape Piai (1°16′N) in Malaysia.
West - Cape Roca (9°31′W), located in Portugal.
East - Cape Dezhnev (169°42′ W) on the Chukotka Peninsula.
