One of the interpretations of this country means “Path of the Mountains.” It abounds in volcanic cones and is often shaken by earthquakes. It became known to the Western world from the pages of Marco Polo's book. Its inhabitants worship objects and phenomena of the surrounding world out of a sense of gratitude to nature for the fact that, despite outbursts of unbridled anger, it is more often affectionate and generous.
Question. What kind of country is this? What is its second name? What kind of outbreaks of unbridled anger of nature are we talking about?
Answer. Japan. During the time of Marco Polo, it was called Yamato, which translated means “Path of the Mountains.” The name is triple the “Land of the Rising Sun.” We are talking about earthquakes. On the Japanese islands, instruments record several earthquakes a day.
There are about seven hundred salt lakes in the Caspian lowland. Scientists believe that one of them contains about 40 billion. tons of salt.
Question. What is the name of this lake and how many years will this salt last if all the inhabitants of the Earth consume it?
Answer. This lake is Baskunchak, and there is enough salt for the Earth’s population for 1500 years.
The first geographical atlas was created in 1570. All sailors of the 16th and early 17th centuries used this atlas, which contained 70 large format maps accompanied by explanatory text.
Question. Who was the creator of the first geographical atlas? What were the satin sheets made of? Who first introduced the name “Atlas” for a collection of maps.
Answer. The first atlas was created by the Dutch cartographer Abraham Ortalii. Each atlas map is engraved on copper and equipped with a degree grid. The name “Atlas” was first introduced by the Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator, who published it in 1595. "Atlas".
During the first Russian circumnavigation of the world, its leader made a mistake, which was corrected 40 years later.
Question. What error are we talking about? What is it due to? Who fixed it?
Answer. During his circumnavigation, Kruzenshtern, while exploring the coast of Sakhalin, encountered an extensive shoal. When trying to pass between Sakhalin and the mainland, I concluded that Sakhalin is a peninsula. Nevelsky corrected Krusenstern's mistake; he became interested in the message that Sakhalin was an island, and in 1849. Having bypassed the mouth of the Amur, I descended to 52 N latitude. and established that Sakhalin is an island.
A European state, most of whose territory is located on a peninsula, and its capital is on the islands.

Answer. South American Andes in Lima. The railway passes at an altitude of 4817 m above sea level and the untrained are at risk of altitude sickness.
This large picturesque lake is located at an altitude of 1134 m above sea level. Due to its large area, there are ebbs and flows. A curious feature of the lake is that there are islands floating on it, which only birds dare to land on.
Question. What is the name of the lake? Where is it located? Why do the large boulders on its banks provide virtually no shade at midday?
Answer. Lake Victoria. Located in Africa. The boulders do not provide shade since the lake is close to the equator, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays is close to 90, therefore no shadow is formed.
This country is characterized by a very complex ethnic composition of the population, for which it is called the “country of six nations.” More than half of the population comes from India. It is the only country in South America where the official language is English.

Extracurricular activity summary
Date of: 04/24/2008
Class: 7 B and 7 V
Item: geography
Teacher: Podolyak O.A.
Subject: Geography quiz “What? Where? When?"
Goals and objectives: Systematize, consolidate and deepen the knowledge gained in the process of studying geography. To intensify the creative, independent, cognitive activity of students. Continue to develop in students a sense of responsibility for their actions, the ability to make decisions, demonstrate abilities, and express their thoughts clearly and concisely. Increase interest in the subject.
Equipment: Physical map of the hemispheres, geographic atlases, spinning top, sheets with question numbers, screen, projector, questions for the game.
1. Organizational and preparatory stage.
A week before the quiz, the teacher tells the students about the objectives of the quiz,
rules and distributes roles along with them. Two teams are chosen
experts of 4-6 people, captains responsible for preparing for
quiz. Teams come up with a name and emblem, and most importantly -
independently study popular science, educational periodicals
sources on the topic of the quiz. The remaining roles are distributed as follows:
presenter - one of the students, preferably with good diction and good
referees - two students (parents of students are possible): one monitors the regulations and discipline (so that there are no tips from fans), and the other keeps the score and writes it on the board;
fans - two or three of them prepare prizes for the winners, two or three are responsible for the musical part, and the rest are responsible for decorating the audience.
2. Preparing the audience.
Tables for players are placed in the center of the hall, and fans are seated around
their teams along the back and side walls. On the front wall - wall mounted
maps: physical map of the hemispheres.
The names of the teams are written on the chalkboard and space is left for
counting results and summing up. Here at the blackboard there is a place
presenter, judges and those responsible for the musical part.
In the center of the tables there is a spinning top, around which sheets of paper are laid out.
with question numbers written on them. Between the sheets of paper are musical keys. As a rule, there should be at least 20 questions.
Team members can have blank sheets of paper, pens and geographic
3. Move quizzes.
After the introductory speech, the presenter, to determine the order of answers,
asks one question to the team captains. That team starts the game, captain
which was the first to answer the question.
Then the team captain presses the spinning top, after stopping
which takes from the table the corresponding sheet with the question number. If on
on the sheet, instead of a number, a musical key is drawn, then it begins
musical break: you can listen to music or dance.
The person presenting the number finds a question and reads it out (the question is also displayed on the screen, and after the command answers, the correct answer is also displayed). You are given 1 minute to think about each question. The correctness of the answer is assessed by the presenter. If the answer is not correct, then the question may be offered to fans of the team that could not give the correct answer. If the fans didn’t help either, then another team answers the question.
Each team answers 6-8 questions, after which the game stops and
the judge sums up the results.
List of questions:
0) Question to the captains - Where on Earth is day always equal to night, and the Sun is at its zenith twice a year - on the day of the spring and on the day of the autumn equinox? Answer:At the equator.
1) Dear experts! Our expedition landed on the deserted shore of an unknown continent at 25 degrees south latitude. We moved inland to explore the area. Among the sands we saw a strange plant: it had a small stem measuring 50 cm, and two long leaves, each 3 meters long, extended from it. The botanist of our expedition said that this plant lives for a very long time - 150 years and is found... Wait? Dear experts! In 1 min. you must name this plant, where, in what natural zone and on what continent it grows. Answer:Welwitschia, Namib Desert, South Africa.
2) Where are there a lot of vegetables and fruits in April and May?
Answer:In Australia, South America, South Africa, where these months
correspond to autumn ones, i.e. harvesting.
3) Dear experts! Please solve this problem. “From the top of the hill shown in the picture, two cyclists ride simultaneously to the west and east. The speed of which one will be greater?
Answer:The picture shows not a hill, but a depression. But if cyclists do descend, the speed on the eastern side will be greater, since the slope is steeper.
4) The Caucasus and the East European Plain once argued about which of them is wiser. The Caucasus says: “The years passed give wisdom. My head is white with gray hair. And people have long called me “the gray, unshakable Caucasus.” And you are all in curly greenery and flowers. That means I’m older and wiser.” Dear experts! Is the Caucasus right?
Answer:Not right. Snow on mountain peaks, on the contrary, speaks not of the old age of the mountains, but of their youth. And the oldest parts of the earth's crust are platforms. For example, the East European Platform.
5) Dear experts! When we traveled around Africa, we heard the expression “dry rain” from the locals. Where could we hear this? Answer:In the Sahara Desert. It sometimes rains there, but their moisture does not reach the ground, evaporating in the dry and hot air. That's why they got the name "dry".
6) This place can only be approached from the south, the wind here also blows only from the south. Where is it located and what is the name of this place?
Answer:North Pole.
7) The poet P. Bogdanov writes:
I have never been to the ocean.
I can never even imagine
What's on some meridian there?
Water from pole to pole.
Do such meridians exist?
Answer:No, since all meridians cross Antarctica.
8) He was the first to propose practically using the sphericity of the Earth in order to reach the shores of India by the western route. It took him 16 years to obtain permission and funds for this voyage, and 33 days to realize his dream. Who led this expedition?
Answer:Christopher Columbus.
9) This great English navigator made three trips around the world and crossed the equator six times. He was the first person to visit the Arctic and Antarctic, and the first to cross the southern polar circle. Who are we talking about?
Answer:About James Cook.
10) This climate zone is formed by tropical air masses and air masses of temperate latitudes. What belt is this, and on what continents is it located?
Answer:Subtropical zone. On all continents except Antarctica.
11) In what part of the world, the further north, the warmer?
Answer: In Australia.
12) On which continent are all the natural zones of the Earth located? Which one has only one?
Answer:In Eurasia. Natural zones and subzones of Eurasia: arctic deserts, tundra, forest-tundra, forest zone with subzones of taiga, mixed and broad-leaved forests, forest-steppe and steppe, semi-deserts, temperate deserts, subtropical forests and shrubs, subtropical and tropical deserts, savannas, subequatorial and equatorial forests. In Antarctica there is an area of the Antarctic desert.
13) Its origins were discovered on May 20, 1884 by the famous researcher N. M. Przhevalsky. Its length is more than 4800 km, but only flat-bottomed barges, junk boats and, in some places, boats sail along it. The reason for this is the shallow water. The water in the river is cloudy, yellow with silt. In its lower reaches, the silt settles, and the river bottom gradually rises. It turns out that the river flows higher than the surrounding area in some areas up to ten meters. For a long time, dams and dams were built along its banks, which were supposed to hold water in the riverbed. Name this river.
Answer:Yellow River (Eurasia).
14) At the beginning of its flow the river is navigable. Then a series of faults begins, forming rapids, among them the largest fault, which created the famous waterfall. Already 15 km before the waterfall you can hear its roar. A stream of water 1800 m wide, falling from a ledge height of 120 m, ends up in a narrow space of 13-18 m. What is the name of this river?
Answer:Zambezi. (Africa)
15) A huge cumulus cloud appeared on the horizon.
All bodies fall to the Earth, says one interlocutor to another.
Clouds are made up of small droplets. Clouds must fall to Earth.
Why don't they fall? - the other one is perplexed.
Question: Why don't clouds fall to Earth?
Answer:Because they are supported by an upward flow of air, constantly observed on the earth's surface.
16) Is the proverb always true: “Day and night - a day away”?
Answer:No. At the poles, the day lasts up to six months.
17) Name the most valuable mineral on the globe.
Answer:Water, without which life in all its manifestations is impossible.
18) In what climatic zone was Robinson Crusoe’s island located, if he talked about its climate like this: “According to my observations, on my island the seasons should be divided not into cold and warm, as they are divided in Europe, but into rainy and dry, approximately Thus:
From half of February to half of April: rains, the Sun is at or almost at its zenith;
From mid-April to mid-August: drought, the Sun moves north;
From half of August to half of October: rains, the Sun is at its zenith again;
From half of October to half of February: drought, the Sun moves south.
Answer:Subequatorial belt.
19) Which sea can be called “a mirror framed by three parts of the world”?
Answer:Mediterranean Sea.
20) The name of which sea comes from the name of small animals that created a grandiose structure more than 2000 km long?
Answer:Coral sea.

1 day.
The word “geography” translated from Greek means “description of the earth.”
We can assume that the first geographers were travelers and sailors. Returning from distant travels, they told their compatriots about nature and people, about plants and animals of other countries and about much, much more, i.e. as if they were describing individual parts of the Earth.
We now learn what the structure of planet Earth is from a message from 6th grade student Dmitry Rudy. (Demonstration of the illustration “Structure of the Earth.”)
- “The Earth’s crust consists of solid matter. This solid substance has the property of fluidity, like ice, wax, and the property of elasticity, that is, the ability to move vertically under the influence of external forces. Scientists believe that at the beginning of the geological history of the earth, only a thin basaltic crust of the oceanic type was formed. Then deep depressions appeared on it in different places, in which loose material accumulated. After some time, powerful uplifts occurred in places of deflections, powerful folds of mountain structures formed, loose rocks became highly compacted and crystallized.
The territory with oceanic crust shrank, and the growing territories with continental crust turned into continents surrounded by the water of the world's oceans. Thus, the surface of planet Earth is made up of continents, the World Ocean, the atmosphere (the air envelope of the Earth) and the biosphere (the plant and animal world of the Earth and humanity).”
^
Messages from 8th grade students about the history of the names of continents and parts of the world “Why were they called that?” (Showing continents and parts of the world on a physical map.)
“Throughout our entire lives, we habitually use the names of parts of the world, rarely thinking about the history of their origin and meaning.
Experts believe that the basis of the word “Asia” was the Assyrian “azzu”, translated as “brilliant”. This is how ancient sailors passing through the Mediterranean called the eastern (now Asian) coast, from where the Sun rose. The area where the Sun set (i.e. Europe) was called “erep”, which means twilight, darkness. True, as for Europe, there is another hypothesis, the authors of which have a different opinion. They believe that the continent got its name from the daughter of the Phoenician monarch, Europa.
The name of the African continent comes from the word "afri". This is what one of the local tribes called itself. The ancient Romans initially used it to designate the Mediterranean coast of the mainland, and later the name spread to the entire continent.
At the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th centuries, the Florentine Amerigo Vespucci explored the northern and eastern coasts of what is now South America during a long expedition. At that time, the continent discovered by Columbus was also called the “New World.” But already in 1538, the cartographer Mercator, noting the merits of Vespucci, named the new continent America in his honor, fixing the name on all maps.
Australia was discovered a little later - at the beginning of the 17th century. However, its existence was predicted by ancient scientists. They called the lands located south of Asia “terra australis,” which translated from Latin means “southern land.”
At the beginning of the 19th century, the expedition of Russian navigators Bellingshausen and Lazarev discovered another continent, which received the name “Antarctica”. This word is of ancient Greek origin and consists of two parts: “ant”, “anti” (translated as against, opposite) and “arktos” (translated as bear). The fact is that since time immemorial, the areas adjacent to the North Pole have been called the Arctic (i.e., the region of the bears). The new continent was located at the opposite - the South Pole. In other words, it was located in the region opposite the Arctic, and therefore began to be called Antarctica, Antarctica.
^ Reading to 7th grade students Y. Belokonev the poem “At a Geography Lesson.”
I repeat the word: “Around the world.”
It is like a globe, round and light.
And they see me right away
Sea, rocks.
And many unprecedented adventures,
Resentments suddenly hide somewhere,
My fellow guys are dearer to me,
And it seems:
Happiness is knocking!
And for some reason I want to learn...

Day 2. Geography competition “What? Where? When?" for students in grades 6-9.
Org moment.
The word of the captain of experts.
The team of experts is present in full force and ready to play.
Presenter.
For the correct answer, each expert earns himself points in the form of tokens. A minute for discussion, whoever answers correctly receives 1 token, and for a quick answer without discussion - 2 tokens. So, let's spin the drum (for us it's a spinning top).
(There are 15 letters on the table - questions compiled by the geography teacher and subject teachers, 4 musical breaks.) Students spin the drum, starting with the captain, clockwise.
Questions:
“Dear experts! I live in Siberia and dream of growing bread. After all, bread is the head of everything. What kind of wheat do you think - spring or winter - will give us higher yields?
Where are there a lot of vegetables and fruits in April and May?
“When I come in the summer, it gets colder and rainier. When I come in winter, it gets warmer. Who am I?
Of course, you know what reclamation is. In Georgia, land reclamation workers are helped by plants that love moisture. What kind of plants are these? And where did they come from in the Caucasus?
The Caucasus and the East European Plain once argued about which of them was wiser. The Caucasus says: “The years passed give wisdom. My head is white with gray hair. And people have long called me “the gray, unshakable Caucasus.” And you’re all covered in curly greenery and flowers, which means I’m older and wiser than you.”
Answer. Not right. Snow on mountain peaks, on the contrary, speaks not of the old age of the mountains, but of their youth. And the oldest parts of the earth’s crust are platforms, for example, the East European Platform.
“Dear experts! You are in the desert, lost, no compass, all around is a sandy sea. The only thing you know is that the prevailing winds in this area are southerly, but there is no wind either. What are you going to do?
“Dear experts! When we traveled around Africa, we heard the expression “dry rain” from the locals. Where could we hear this?
Recently I was visiting my friend. He treated me to very tasty fish. I asked: “What is it called?” The friend replied: “Just like one of the cities in the Lipetsk region.” Help me find out the name of the fish.
Among the plants brought to Europe by Columbus's sailors was a vegetable now known to everyone. What is this?
Which city's name suggests that it is angry?
Which Siberian river is named after the dishes?
What coniferous tree sheds its needles?
Which city “flies”?
Which taiga in Russia resembles a tropical jungle?
Can't you find something like this?
If the letter in it changes -
The bird turns into a fish.
^ Answer. Pheasant - Carp.
Day 3. Poster competition: “To protect nature means to protect the Motherland!” (grades 5-9).
Students are given a task in advance (at the beginning of the week), where they, together with the class teacher, draw posters on a given topic. On this day, they defend their posters and talk about the significance of this topic.
For example, posters were drawn on the theme: “Let's protect the birds!”, “Environmental protection”, “Mother - the water - the queen of everything”, “The Red Book”.
^ Day 4 Conducting intelligence - the show "Eureka" on the topic "Geography - the science of you and the Earth."
Progress of the game.
Presenter:
Take care of the Earth! Take care!
Lark at the blue zenith,
A butterfly on a dodder stem,
There are sun glares on the path,
A crab playing on the stones,
Over the desert the shadow of the baobab tree,
A clear month above the river calm,
A swallow flickering in life.
Take care of the Earth! Take care!
Very easy in clear weather
Dream in the forest or by the pond.
But to truly love nature -
This means always taking action.
Tree, grass, flower and bird
They don't always know how to defend themselves.
If they are destroyed,
We will be alone on the planet.
- Today in this hall we will hold the most popular game among young people - the intelligence show “Eureka”. I represent our members.
Students talk about themselves, their hobbies, and wish their opponents success.
We start our game.

A hunter's story.
It was in the Karakum desert, in Turkmenistan. For three days we chased the tiger, exhausted from thirst and scorching heat. The camels could not stand it and fell. Supporting each other, burning our feet on hot stones and rubble, we barely made it to the big river. Here we quenched the thirst that tormented us and, throwing off our dusty clothes, rushed into the water. We swam for a long time in the quiet, clear water, and then took refuge from the scorching heat in the shade of a saxaul forest located right next to the river. We began to think: what should we do next? Finally, they realized: they built a raft from Saul’s logs and safely reached the nearest village on it.
^ The story of an experienced sailor.
White cumulus clouds were floating across the sky, but suddenly heavy rain began to pour down. A huge wave - a tsunami - either lifted us up or threw us into the abyss. Soon the sea calmed down. Our watchman reported that the ship was following its course, approaching Antarctica. At night, the bright North Star was a guide. Having seen the island, we decided to go ashore and get fresh water; but they didn’t have time to take a few steps when they saw a polar bear. Having landed in another place, we headed to the forest, where we found a spring and collected fresh water.
Is there an extra name in the list -
