Features of the geographical location of Crimea presentation. Geographical location of Crimea, presentation for a lesson on the surrounding world (3rd grade) on the topic. Comparison Questions

Geographical position. The Crimean mountainous physical-geographical country extends in a strip 50 km wide in the south of the Crimean Peninsula from Sevastopol to Feodosia for 180 km. In terms of the peculiarities of formation and structure, the variety of landscapes and their colorfulness, the Mountainous Crimea is an extremely original formation that stands out against the background of more or less monotonous neighbors - the flat dry steppe Crimea in the north and the Black Sea in the south.

Tectonically, the Crimean Mountains are a large fold, the southern wing of which plunges into the sea. Uplift and folding movements took place there already in the Mesozoic era, but the main mountain-building processes took place during the Cenozoic. At the same time, the southern part of the Crimean Mountains sank into the Black Sea depression along the fault line. This is how a steep slope was formed - the southern coast of Crimea. In addition to longitudinal faults, transverse faults also appeared, and magmatism manifested itself. In some cases, volcanoes were active, as evidenced by the fossilized extinct volcano - the Karadag massif. In other cases, magma froze in cracks in the earth's crust without breaking through to the surface. Over time, external forces (weathering, sea waves) destroyed the rocks that covered the magma massifs, so now they emerge on the surface in the form of separate mountains - Ayudag, Kastel. Tectonic processes in the Crimean mountains have not stopped to this day, as evidenced by earthquakes. The Crimean Mountains are mainly folded block mountains. They are composed of sedimentary rocks (sandstones, shales, limestones), and in some places - rocks of volcanic origin.

The hallmark of the Southern Coast of Crimea is Mount Ayudag (Bear Mountain), rising 572 m above sea level. It is formed from solidified magma. Igneous rock grey-green gabbro-diabase is harder than granite. It is a valuable facing material. Rice. Mount Ayudag, Gurzuf town

The Crimean mountains are formed by three parallel ridges - outer, inner and Main, replacing each other from north to south. The outer and inner strands are cuestas - elongated raised landforms of asymmetrical structure: their northern slope is gentle (corresponding to the inclination of the rock layers), and the southern one is steep (formed as a result of the “cutting” of layers by watercourses along fault lines. The outer strand is low (up to 400 m) . In the northern direction it gradually turns into a plain. The internal ridge is higher (up to 700 m). External processes have created bizarre shapes there. The main strand rises up to m. The highest peak of the Crimean mountains is located there - the city of Roman-Kosh (1,545 m The main ridge is divided by tectonic faults and erosion processes into massifs with flat surfaces - yayla (Babugan-Yayla, Nikitskaya, Chatyr-Dag, Ai-Petrinskaya, Yalta, Karabi-Yayla). In the Crimean Mountains there are many water-erosive and karst landforms On the Chatyr-Dag plateau, for example, there are more than karst sinkholes, 135 caves, mines, wells.The southern and southeastern slopes of the Main Ridge, rapidly falling to the Black Sea, are called the Southern Coast of Crimea. This is a narrow (from 1 to 12 km) strip of coast, on which the rocks in some places approach the sea, and in others they retreat, forming amphitheaters.

Kizil-Koba The longest limestone cave in Ukraine is Krasnaya (Kizil-Koba), 21.1 km long. Its halls are decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and clusters of crystals. An underground river flows in the cave and there are many lakes. In the past it was a sanctuary, and now it is equipped for excursions. Soldatskaya The deepest cave in Ukraine is Soldatskaya (500 m), located on Karabi-yayla.

The climate of the Mountain Crimea, like the climate of the flat part of the peninsula, is moderate continental. However, there is a significant difference between them. The amount of precipitation in the mountains doubles and averages 600 mm per year, and on high peaks - up to mm per year. Summer in the mountains is cool: average July temperatures are only 15°C. Winter is snowy with average January temperatures of -4°C. Hail often falls in the Crimean Mountains, and in the spring snow avalanches descend from the highest mountains, sometimes causing significant damage. But the climate of the southern coast of Crimea is warm in Ukraine and resembles the subtropical Mediterranean (these are the so-called “northern subtropics”). It is affected by cyclones in winter and increased atmospheric pressure in summer. The proximity of the ice-free Black Sea and the mountains that protect the coast from northern winds are also important. On the southern coast of Crimea, average temperatures are positive all year round: in January from 5°C in the west to 1°C in the east, in July - about 24°C. The precipitation brought by Mediterranean cyclones mainly falls in the form of rain in winter. Summer is hot and dry, but the heat is not sweltering: sea breezes refresh.

Inland waters All rivers flowing on the Crimean Peninsula originate in the Crimean Mountains. Most of them are short and flow into the Black Sea (Alma, Kacha, Chernaya). The longest river, the Salgir, carries water to the Sea of ​​Azov. In summer, it dries out in the lower reaches. In the mountains, rivers often have narrow canyon-like valleys. They feed mainly on rainwater, and those that begin on the northern slopes of the Main Ridge also feed on melted snow. Reservoirs have been built in the upper reaches of some rivers, the water from which is used for the needs of the population. There are many springs in the mountains.

The deepest canyon in Ukraine is the Grand Canyon in Crimea. This is a giant crack on the northern slopes of the Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla, into the limestone strata of which the Auzun-Uzen River has been biting into the limestone strata for thousands of years. With a length of more than 3 km and a width in some places not exceeding 3 m, the depth of the canyon reaches 320 m.

Altitudinal zonation In the Crimean Mountains there is an altitudinal zonality of the soil and vegetation cover. In the foothills there is steppe vegetation with fescue and feather grass, and a little higher (from 500 m) there is forest-steppe vegetation. There, on soddy-carbonate soils, oak groves grow of sessile, downy and common oak with an admixture of maple, beech and hornbeam. Bush thickets are common. On the mountain slopes at an altitude of m lies a mountain-forest belt, where broad-leaved forests of beech, hornbeam, maple, ash, linden, and pine grow on brown forest soils. Mountain meadow soils are common on the yayla peaks. There are mountain meadows where alpine violet, St. John's wort, and fescue grow. On the southern slope of the Main Ridge, the altitudinal zonation of vegetation is also quite pronounced, although it does not have a continuous soil cover, as it is interrupted by rocks and hoars. Brown soils have formed on the southern coast of Crimea. They are inhabited by bushy thickets of downy oak, eastern hornbeam and juniper, subtropical evergreen garden vegetation (cypress, laurel, myrtle, magnolia) and fruit trees (apricots, peaches, almonds, persimmons, figs). Dry trees, oak-juniper forests and shiblyak grow up to a height of 500 m - Dense thorny thickets of heat-loving Mediterranean species (downy oak and sessile oak, strawberry tree, pistachio, hornbeam). Above the height of 900 m lies the belt of Crimean pine and oak, and even higher (up to m) the forests are dominated by Crimean beech. The fauna is diverse. Roe deer, deer, mouflon, fox, badger, hare, marten, and squirrel live in the forests. Many birds nest - jay, gull, black vulture, short-tailed snake eagle, peregrine falcon.
A number of environmental protection facilities have been created to protect the environment. The Crimean Nature Reserve protects the most valuable forests in Crimea - oak, beech, Crimean pine, as well as relict groups of yew and high juniper. The unique natural complexes of the Jurassic volcanic massif and the sea coast are protected in the Karadag Nature Reserve. It is considered one of the most exotic corners of Crimea, whose original relief forms and landscapes can compete with the world's most famous Yellowstone Park in the USA. The scientists of the reserve conduct constant observations of marine, steppe and forest ecosystems. Many environmental protection areas have been created near the city of Yalta. Yalta Mountain Forest Reserve - The richest in plant species (1367 species, of which 138 are rare and endangered. The Cape Martyan Nature Reserve protects a relict Mediterranean forest of juniper, downy oak, Crimean pine, pistachio. Nikitsky Botanical Garden - The oldest in the world (founded in 1811). There is a unique collection of subtropical plants from all over the planet (palm trees, metasequoia, thuja, cedar, bamboo, etc.). They are planted in a landscape style, which makes the garden picturesque. Unfortunately, In recent years, during the hot summer seasons, long fires have occurred more than once on the southern slope of the Main Ridge, as a result of which many relict forests and shrubs burned, including in protected areas. The picturesque landscapes of the Crimean Mountains, dry warm climate and sea water make this region one of the best resort areas in Ukraine.

Crimea- a peninsula in the northern part of the Black Sea, washed by the Sea of ​​Azov from the northeast. Most of the territory of the peninsula is occupied by the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, which are part of the Russian Federation. The northern part of the Arabat Spit is part of the Kherson region (Ukraine)

The banks are accumulatively leveled. The length of the coastline is over 1 thousand km. The largest bays on the Black Sea coast: Karkinitsky, Kalamitsky, Feodosiya.

On the coast of Azov: Sivash, Kazantip and Arabat.

In the east of Crimea there is the Kerch Peninsula, in the west - the Tarkhankut Peninsula, in the south - the Heracles Peninsula, in the north - Tyup-Tarkhan.

Tectonics

The Crimean peninsula can be divided into two large tectonic structures: the Scythian plate and the Alpine geosynclinal folded region.

The relief of the Crimean peninsula consists of three unequal parts: the North Crimean Plain with the Tarkhankut Upland (about 70% of the territory), the Kerch Peninsula and the mountainous Crimea, stretching in three ridges in the south. The main ridge of the Crimean Mountains (1545 m, Mount Roman-Kosh) consists of separate limestone massifs (yayl) with plateau-like peaks and deep canyons. The southern slope of the Main Ridge stands out as the Crimean sub-Mediterranean. The Inner and Outer ridges form the Crimean foothills.

Steppe Crimea

Steppe Crimea occupies 16,840 km², which is about 72% of the territory of Crimea.

Steppe Crimea- the flat part of the Crimean peninsula, once occupied by steppe vegetation.

Crimean mountains

The mountainous Crimea, within the alpine geosynclinal folded region, stretches in a strip of about 180 km from Sevastopol to Feodosia and up to 50 km wide. Mountain Crimea consists of three questa ridges: Main, internal and external, which have a gentle long northern and steep short southern slopes

Crimean mountains

The main ridge rises above the southern coast of Crimea with sheer cliffs. The highest part of the ridge has the appearance of a ridge. Between its southern and northern slopes there are table-shaped surfaces called yayly (from Turkic “summer pasture”). From west to east there are 10 yailas: Baydarskaya, Ai-Petrinskaya, Yalta, Nikitskaya, Gurzufskaya, Babugan - the highest with the peak of Roman-Kosh (1545 m), Chatyrdagskaya, Demerdzhi, Dolgorukovskaya, Karabi-yayla - the largest in area ( 113 km sq.).

High mountain peaks:

• Roman-Kosh - 1545 m;
• Demir-Kapu - 1540 m;
• Zeytin-Kosh - 1534 m;
• Kemal Egerek - 1529 m;
• Eklizi-Burun - 1527 m;
• Angara-Burun - 1453 m

Weathering processes

Storms intensify sea erosion, modifying the Crimean coast. Mudflows pass through the valleys of the mountain rivers Uskut, Ai-Serez, Shelen, Voron and others, eroding and destroying the territory. Water and wind erosion creates bizarre shapes of rocks (“sphinxes”, “stone mushrooms”, “ghost pillars”).

Crimea, despite its relatively small territory, has a varied climate.

The climate of the northern part is temperate continental, on the southern coast - with features similar to subtropical.

The soils of Crimea are varied. The soils of the lowland Crimea include: dark chestnut, southern chernozems, foothill chernozems, meadow-chernozems, meadow-chestnuts, solonetzes and solonchaks. Solonetzes and solonchaks distributed in the Sivash region, on the coasts of the Karkinitsky Gulf and the Kerch Peninsula.

Brown mountain-forest soils have formed in the mountainous Crimea

Hydrography

257 rivers flow through the territory of Crimea (the largest are Salgir, Kacha, Alma, Belbek, Indol, Biyuk-Karasu, Chernaya, Burulcha). The longest river in Crimea is Salgir (220 km), the deepest is Belbek (water flow - 1500 liters per second). There are over 50 salt lakes in Crimea, the largest of them is Lake Sasyk-Sivash - 205 km². The Black Sea artesian basin is located. The steppe part is cut by canals for irrigation; the largest is the North Crimean Canal.

Minerals

• Indolo-Kuban oil and gas region
• Black Sea-Crimean oil and gas region
• Kerch iron ore basin

Recreational resources

Natural recreational resources are of greatest importance: mild climate, warm sea, healing mud, mineral waters, picturesque landscapes.

Famous resort areas:

• The southern coast of Crimea - Yalta and Alushta regions.
• West coast - Evpatoria-Saki region.
• South-Eastern coast - Feodosia and Sudak regions.

In the steppe Crimea, the most common mammals are: gophers, mice, hamsters, jerboas, as well as the steppe ferret, weasel, and fox. The world of birds, especially waterfowl, is quite rich. These are laughing gulls, herons, and lapwings. Other bird species include steppe eagles, larks, kestrels, partridges, etc. Reptiles and amphibians live here: steppe viper, lizards, grass snakes, etc.

In the mountainous Crimea the fauna is much richer. Mammals include: Crimean deer, roe deer, wild boar, and mouflon. Predators include the common fox, stone marten, weasel, and badger.

There are not many birds in the Crimean forests. These are woodpeckers, starlings, thrushes, finches and predatory species - hawks, griffon vultures, black vultures. Reptiles and amphibians are represented by: marsh turtles, leopard and yellow-bellied snakes, and lizards. Among the insects, Mediterranean species stand out: cicadas, mosquitoes, mantis beetles, Crimean ground beetles.

Currently, there are over 2,536 species and subspecies of higher plants on the peninsula. There are 106 endemic plant species in Crimea, that is, species that are unique to Crimea and are not found anywhere else. In the flora of the mountainous Crimea there are many tertiary relicts, for example, high juniper, small-fruited strawberry, comperia compera and other plants.

Protection of Nature

• The natural reserve fund includes 158 objects and territories (including 46 of national importance, the area of ​​which is 5.8% of the area of ​​the Crimean Peninsula). The basis of the reserve fund is made up of 6 nature reserves with a total area of ​​63.9 thousand hectares: Krymsky with the branch “Swan Islands”, Yalta Mountain Forest, Cape Martyan, Karadagsky, Kazantipsky, Opuksky.

History of Crimea In 1478, the Crimean Khanate became part of the Ottoman Empire. The Russian-Turkish War of 1768-1774 put an end to Ottoman rule and, according to the peace treaty of 1774, the Ottomans renounced their claims to Crimea. On April 8, 1783, Catherine II issued a manifesto on the acceptance of the “Crimean Peninsula”, as well as the Kuban side, into the Russian Empire. On December 1, 1991, at the All-Ukrainian referendum, residents of Crimea participated in the vote on the independence of Ukraine. On March 18, 2014, an interstate Agreement was signed between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Crimea on the admission of Crimea to the Russian Federation.

Slide 6

The Crimean Peninsula occupies a relatively small territory - its area is 20 times smaller than the Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas, and 15 times smaller than Kamchatka and Asia Minor. But Crimea became famous, significant and attractive largely due to the peculiarities of its nature, and above all its unique geographical location. The southernmost point of Crimea (44° 23") is Cape Sarych, near the village of Foros, located between Sevastopol and Alupka. The northernmost (46° 15") is located on the Perekop Isthmus, near the village of Perekop. The westernmost point of Crimea (32°29") is Cape Priboyny (Kapa-Mryn) on the Tarkhankut Peninsula. The easternmost (36°39") is Cape Fonar on the Kerch Peninsula. The area of ​​the Crimean Peninsula exceeds 26 thousand km2, the maximum distance from north to south is 205 km, from west to east - 325 km.

Slide 7

Crimea is rightly called a natural pearl. Here, at the junction of temperate and subtropical latitudes, a variety of landscapes have formed, including mountains and plains, ancient volcanoes and modern mud hills, seas and lakes, forests and steppes, stretching from the South Coast sub-Mediterranean to the semi-desert Sivash region...

Slide 8

Crimea is located in the latitudinal zone of the globe, located at equal distances from the equator and the North Pole (approximately 5 thousand kilometers each). In the north, the peninsula is attached to the mainland by the narrow (7-23 km) Perekop Isthmus. From the west and south, the peninsula is washed by the Black Sea, from the east by the Kerch Strait (the border with Asia!) and in the northeast by the Sea of ​​Azov and its Sivash Bay.

Slide 10

The CLIMATE of most of Crimea is a temperate climate: mild steppe - in the flat part; more humid, characteristic of deciduous forests - in the mountains. The southern coast of Crimea is characterized by a sub-Mediterranean climate of dry forests and bushes.

Crimea, especially its mountainous part, thanks to its comfortable climate, rich clean air, toned with phytoncides, sea salts, and the pleasant aroma of plants, also has great healing powers. The depths of the earth also contain healing mud and mineral waters.

Slide 11

Reservoirs of Crimea

In Crimea there are 1657 rivers and temporary watercourses with a total length of 5996 km. Of these, about 150 rivers are dwarf rivers up to 10 km in length. The Salgir River alone is more than 200 km long. The river network is developed extremely unevenly on the peninsula. There are also more than 300 lakes and estuaries. Almost all lakes are salty and are located along the coast, in the low-lying steppe part and several desalinated lakes. Koyashskoye Lake Churbashskoye Chokrakskoye Terekly (Salty) Ak-Mechetskoye Liman and others.

MOUNTAINS OF CRIMEA Mount Demerdzhi

The mountain system is formed by three mountain ranges stretching from Cape Aya in the vicinity of Balaklava in the west to Cape St. Ilya near Feodosia in the east. The length of the Crimean Mountains is about 160 km, the width is about 50 km. The outer ridge is a series of cuestas, gradually rising to heights of about 350 m. The inner ridge reaches a height of 750 m. The highest point of the Main Ridge stretching along the Southern Coast of the Black Sea is Mount Roman-Kosh, 1545 m high, located on Babugan-yayla.

The flora of the Crimean peninsula is extremely diverse: according to some sources, it has 2,400 wild species of higher plants, according to others - 2,775. You can find such plants as: walnut, hawthorn, beech and others.

Slide 15

The connection between the unique geographical location of Crimea and the uniqueness of the peninsula’s fauna is no less obvious than for the flora, although the animals are more dynamic. In addition to the species characteristic of the nearby southern regions, we find animals of the Mediterranean range everywhere on the peninsula. You can meet such animals as: stingray, owl, dolphin, red deer and others.

According to the 2001 census, the population of Crimea is 2.031 million people, of which in the four largest cities of the autonomy - Sevastopol (365.8 thousand people), Simferopol (364 thousand people), Kerch (157.2 thousand people .) and Evpatoria (122 thousand people) – 41% live. The share of the urban population of Crimea is 63%, living in rural areas is 37% (according to the previous census of 1989, this ratio was 70% to 30%).

Slide 21

Over 80 nationalities live in Crimea, the most numerous of them are Russians (65-70%), Crimean Tatars (18%), Ukrainians (10-15%). According to official data compiled as a result of the census at the beginning of 2014. The population of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol is 2 million 734 thousand people.

Another interesting animal of Crimea can be considered the South Russian tarantula. Its bite can cause anaphylactic shock, and besides, the bite itself is very painful, despite the fact that the size of the spider is only 3.5 cm. 3. The shallowest sea in the world is the Sea of ​​Azov. It washes the shores of Crimea. The maximum depth of the Azov Sea is 15 meters.

Slide 23

As a result of the referendum that took place on March 16, 2014. the majority of Crimeans voted to join Russia. Currently, the Republic of Crimea is a subject of the Russian Federation that is part of the Crimean Federal District. March 18, 2014 an agreement was concluded on the admission to the Russian Federation of the independent sovereign Republic of Crimea (entry in notebooks), proclaimed within the administrative borders of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol (received the status of a city of federal significance). March 21, 2014 Putin V.V. signed the federal constitutional law on the entry of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol into the Russian Federation.
