geographical tasks.
Task #1
It is known that every new day, New Year the first people on earth to meet the inhabitants of Cape Dezhnev and Fr. Ratmanov. How fast is the New Year approaching Moscow? Can a plane flying at a speed of 900 km/h overtake the approach of the new year? Justify your answer (3 points)
Task #2
What do quarries and heaps have in common? Where do they meet? (3 points)
Task #3
In Karelia, "rotten" stones are often found. Hit such a boulder with a stick, and it will crumble, turn into reddish dust. Why "rotted" this strongest rock - granite? (3 points)
Task #4
Read an excerpt from a newspaper article. “In 2008, the construction of a new oil pipeline “Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean” (ESPO) was started. During its construction will be used the latest technology designed to ensure the reliability of its operation in conditions low temperatures and permafrost. Environmental scientists objected to the laying of an oil pipeline route in the immediate vicinity of Lake Baikal, who spoke of the inevitability ecological disaster in the event of an accident on a future oil pipeline. Under their influence, a decision was made to change the route of the pipeline.” What features of the territory through which the oil pipeline was supposed to pass made scientists talk about high degree the probability of an accident on the oil pipeline and the inevitability, in this case, of pollution of the waters of Lake Baikal? List two features. (4 points)
Answers Grade 8
Geographic tasks
№1. (3 points) The speed of rotation of individual points of the globe is different. To determine the speed of approaching the new year on the parallel of Moscow, you need to divide the length of the parallel (22,000 km) by 24 (22000:24). It turns out 917 km / h. This speed is somewhat higher than the flight speed of "our" aircraft and this aircraft is not able to "catch up" with the new year.
№ 2. (3 points) Anthropogenic landforms. Construction sites and mining sites open way; near the mines, waste heaps are formed from the waste rock.
№3. (3 points) The stone "rotted" under the influence of lichens that settled on it. These plants secrete substances that corrode such durable rocks as granite. And then comes the process of soil formation, when mosses first settle on the destroyed rocks. Then bushes, then trees.
№ 4.(4 points)
PointsThe response specifies the following:
1) high seismic activity territory
2) this territory belongs to the drainage basin of Lake Baikal
OR
the route of the oil pipeline crosses the rivers flowing into Baikal
