Introduction.
Discovery, exploration and transformation of the Earth.1. Carefully read paragraph 1 of the textbook. Fill the table.
2. In the textbook, Figure 2 (p. 6) shows an ancient globe. Using additional sources of information, find out what he is famous for. Who, when and where created it?
"Earth apple" is the traditional name of the first geographical globe, created by Martin Beheim in Nuremberg in 1492. Martin managed to reflect with its help geographical ideas about the surface of the Earth just on the eve of the discovery of the New World. The map does not show latitude and longitude according to the modern method, but does have the equator, meridians, tropics and images of the zodiac signs.
3. In what areas of human life is geographical knowledge necessary?
1) Weather forecast
2) Urban development planning
3) Warning about dangerous natural phenomena
4) Search for mineral deposits
5) Creation of maps, site plans
6) Planning your own travel routes; terrain orientation
4. What do you think modern geographers do? Is this science necessary in our time? What questions can she study now?
Geographers plan the transformation of open and developed territories and predict the processes occurring on Earth and their consequences. Modern geography is needed because... one might say that it is working for the future.
5. Using various sources of information, prepare a short report about one of the modern travelers. Be sure to indicate what sources of information you used.
Fyodor Filippovich Konyukhov is a very extraordinary person, traveler, writer, priest and extreme sportsman. During his adventurous life, the modern traveler has made more than 40 unique ascents and expeditions.
He expressed his vision of the world and the riot of colors of life in books and paintings. Konyukhov constantly tests his limits, climbs high mountains, crosses seas and oceans, and participates in expeditions to the North and South Pole. This sea captain completed 4 voyages around the world and crossed the Atlantic 15 times. This unique person is considered the first and so far the only one to conquer the five poles of our planet: the pole of relative inaccessibility in the Arctic Ocean; 3 times Northern Geographic; Southern Geographic; Everest; Cape Horn. Fedor made most of his travels alone, but he also willingly takes part in collective expeditions.
1. Why does the compass needle always point north?
The maximum number of Earth's magnetic charges is located at the North and South Magnetic Poles (they do not coincide with the North and South Poles of the geographical area). The compass needle is attracted to the opposite magnetic charges of the Earth's poles, and thus the compass needle always points north, and the other end always points south.
2. Complete task 3 from p. 10 textbook.
3. Why does the change of day and night occur on Earth?
Due to the rotation of the Earth around its axis.
4. Look at the picture and write down in the table the seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres when the Earth is at the indicated points in its orbit.
Why are the seasons different in different hemispheres?
Due to the tilt of the earth's axis. If there were no tilt, there would be no changes in seasons, because... when one hemisphere is facing the Sun, the other, on the contrary, is tilted away from it.

6. Prove that mountains influence living and inanimate nature.
The change in the components of nature with altitude is called altitudinal zonality. As a result of the rise, the air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and the amount of oxygen in the air decrease. As a result of this, the flora and fauna will change. The higher the mountains, the more belts there will be. Mountains also influence inanimate nature. Under the influence of low temperatures and winds, rocks are destroyed.

Natural phenomena associated with internal and external forces can occur in the mountains. Internal – earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
External – landslides, landslides, mudflows, avalanches.
How do they affect human life and nature?
Their influence is negative, because destruction occurs and people die.
In which areas of the Earth have the most destructive mountain phenomena occurred in recent years?
These phenomena occur very often in the mountains. For example, only in April 2014 - several earthquakes in the Andes with a magnitude of up to 8 points, the Ecuadorian Tungurahua volcano resumed activity, an earthquake in Japan with a magnitude of 5 points
