III. Updating students' knowledge. Motivation educational activities
– Today we will talk about the natural features of the West Siberian Plain. Show the West Siberian Plain on the map? (The student shows the West Siberian Plain on the map).
The plain has an extremely flat topography with heights of no more than 100 m above sea level. Only in the south and east does the altitude above sea level reach 250 meters. The climate of the region ranges from arctic in the north to temperate continental in the south.
IN: What are the reasons for the continental climate of Western Siberia?
ABOUT: The position, predominantly in temperate latitudes, determined the amount of solar radiation received by the territory. The distance from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans determined the continental climate. The flatness of the territory allows cold masses of Arctic air to freely penetrate far to the south from the Kara Sea, and warm air masses from Kazakhstan and Central Asia to penetrate far to the north. Mountains along the periphery fenced off the West Siberian Plain from Atlantic air masses from the west and Central Asian air masses from the southeast.
Due to the flatness of the region and its large extent from north to south, natural zoning is clearly expressed on the territory of Western Siberia. In the north, along the coast of the Arctic Ocean, there is a zone of arctic deserts, it gives way to a zone of tundra and forest-tundra, and then the widest zone in the region - the taiga. Taiga dark coniferous forests of spruce, cedar, fir, larch with islands of pine-larch forests pass to the south into a narrow strip of deciduous forests, forest-steppe and steppe. Soils vary from arctic to steppe black soils. Forest-steppe and steppe with fertile gray and brown forest, chestnut and chernozem soils are heavily plowed. The West Siberian Plain is densely covered with rivers, the largest of which originate in the mountains of Southern Siberia. The main river of the region is the Ob, which flows into the Kara Sea. It is navigable throughout. About 30% of the area is occupied by swamps.
The West Siberian Plain is the richest territory in Russia in natural resources. Here, for a long time, local residents hunted fur-bearing animals and game. The taiga has valuable timber and there is a lot of fish in the rivers. Tundra is a pasture for deer. But the main wealth of Western Siberia is its mineral resources.
The main resources are oil and gas, peat, coal, iron ores. The West Siberian Plain is a unique oil and gas province of the Earth. Industrial oil and gas deposits are distributed here throughout almost the entire 2000-meter section of Mesozoic sediments. The average depth of oil and gas bearing strata in it ranges from 1500m to 2500-3000m. Western Siberia is the main oil production base of the country; it provides over 70% of all-Russian oil and natural gas production.
Searches in the depths of Western Siberia for “black gold” and “blue fuel” made it possible to discover large reserves of iron ore in the north of the Novosibirsk region.
The minerals of Mesozoic deposits also include hot waters with a temperature of 40 to 120 o C and containing dissolved salts of chlorides and carbonates, as well as iodine and bromine. They form a huge artesian basin at a depth of 1000 to 3000m in the Tyumen, Tomsk, Omsk and Novosibirsk regions.
Thus, the West Siberian Plain is a province rich in water, territorial resources, and vast reserves of oil, gas, and iron ores.
However, despite the fact that Western Siberia is rich in natural resources, their development is difficult.
IN: What is this connected with?
ABOUT: The main problem of gas and oil development in Western Siberia is difficult natural conditions. Living and working conditions of people are complicated by severe frosts and hurricane winds in the north. The soil in the north is bound by permafrost, which complicates construction. In the summer, a huge number of blood-sucking insects - midges - do not allow people to work in peace, they pester animals. But the main problem of the development of Siberia is the huge areas of marshy swamps.
IN: What do you think is the reason for the high swampiness of the area?
- Poorly dissected terrain with low relative heights leads to obstructed drainage surfaces.
- Rivers have a slow flow and strong meandering (meanders are radiated in river beds, lengthening the path of the river). In spring, the water level in rivers flowing from south to north rises significantly. The upper reaches are warm and have plenty of water, while the lower reaches are frozen. With low banks, rivers overflow for tens of kilometers and serve as swamping fairways.
- Peat contains up to 90% water and contributes to even greater accumulation of water in the swamp, and this leads to a rise in groundwater in areas adjacent to the peat bog and their waterlogging.
- Little evaporation due to low amount of solar radiation.
Before the development of the resources of Western Siberia, the peoples of the North lived here for centuries - the Selkups, Nenets, Khanty. They hunted, fished and lived in harmony with nature. The indigenous population of Western Siberia was engaged in hunting and fishing. The inhabitants of the north - the Nenets - roamed with reindeer. Nomadic reindeer herding made it possible to preserve pastures, which were restored only after 10-15 years. Tundra plants grow slowly, summers are too short and cold. The Khanty and Selkups were careful about the nature around them, which provided them with food, clothing, and shelter. Hunters and fishermen lived in low huts, with the roof top insulated with earth. Ice floes served as glass in winter. With the help of a bow, the Selkups hunted squirrels, geese, and ducks. The food was salted fish and dried yukola. Dried fish was ground into flour called porsa. Waste (fish entrails, head bones) was not thrown away, but the fat was melted from it. Their gall bladders were drowned with bile and used to process suede. Glue was made from sturgeon bladders. The glue was used to make a valuable hunting tool - the bow - and in the manufacture of skis. Fish skins were used to make bags in which food was stored. That is, the economy of the indigenous population was waste-free, and there used to be more fish in the rivers than now. Oil workers came and destroyed the pastures with the caterpillars of all-terrain vehicles, there were fewer fish in the rivers, and the oil poisoned the fish. Now 2/3 of the population of the entire Eastern macroregion lives in the area, the average density is 6 people. per 1 km 2.
Residents are distributed very unevenly. The southern regions along the Trans-Siberian Railway are the most densely populated. The taiga is inhabited mainly by river valleys; the population density of the tundra is only 0.6 people. per 1 km 2. More than 90% of the population is Russian, representatives of indigenous nationalities also live, but their share is small, for example, the Khanty and Mansi make up only about 1.5% in their national-territorial entities. Urbanization coefficient – 71%. The large cities of Western Siberia are located mainly at the intersection of railways and shipping routes. The largest of them are millionaire cities - Novosibirsk and Omsk.
IV. Learning new material
– Now let’s watch a short story about the indigenous inhabitants of Siberia – the Khanty. When viewing, pay attention to the following aspects:
1. What are the features of the life and way of life of the indigenous small peoples of Siberia?
2. What is the main food of small nations?
3. What impact does industrial development have on the livelihoods of small nations?
Watching the video Galileo.vipysk.729.(2011.04.14.) about the Khanty .
V. Consolidation
Student answers to questions:
1. The need for self-sufficiency. Food is obtained by hunting and fishing; clothes and household items are created independently.
2. The main food of small peoples is fish and venison.
3. The extraction of mineral resources reduces the habitat of small peoples, but makes it possible to enjoy some of the benefits of civilization, for example, snowmobiles.
Questions:
IN: What natural resources is the West Siberian Plain rich in?
ABOUT: The West Siberian Plain is rich in water, territorial resources, oil, gas, peat, and iron ores.
IN: Is it possible to fully exploit the potential of Western Siberia and what is the reason for this?
ABOUT: It is impossible to use the entire resource potential of Western Siberia, since this is hampered by the high swampiness of the region, permafrost in the northern part, harsh climate in winter, and the presence of blood-sucking insects in summer.

The natural conditions and natural resources of any country are, as a rule, the main component of the potential, determining the country's development opportunities. For their comprehensive regional study, it is used standard plan characteristics: relief, climate, water, soil, vegetation, fauna, natural areas, etc. In addition to the general object of study, comprehensive regional studies examines the relationships between holistic nature, economy and population.
To determine natural conditions, resources and the natural environment in regional studies, you need to start from a system of concepts related to the sphere of interaction between society and nature, the main of which are the concepts of “nature”, "geographical Obolon ka", "geographical environment of society", "natural", "environment".
Natural resources- these are components of nature that, at a given level of development of productive forces, are used or can be used as means of production (objects and means of labor) and consumer goods.
Natural resources can be used:
As means of labor (land, waterways, water for irrigation)
As energy sources (fuel resources, energy of water flows, wind)
As raw materials and materials (mineral raw materials, forest reserves, process water resources);
As consumer goods (fruits of wild plants, industrial fauna, drinking water).
Natural resources are classified:
According to the criterion of natural genesis, highlighting mineral, water, land, biological, climatic resources;
By method of use, based on the polyteconomic distribution of resources into sources of means of production and consumer goods with subsequent detailing.
According to the main ways of using nature, five groups of industries and types of economic activity are distinguished: 1) resource use industries - agriculture, forestry, water management and hydropower, which use nature as a means of production; 2) sectors of the extractive industry, water consumption and crafts that use nature as a source of finished items of labor and consumption; 3) manufacturing industries, infrastructure, public utilities, which use nature to locate their production and store waste; 4) recreation, healthcare and sports, the livelihoods of the population (especially rural) who use nature as a living condition; 5) areas of experimental conservation management, science, which use nature as a testing ground for research, to preserve it for future generations.
Assessment of natural conditions and resources
Assessment is a special form of reflection of reality. Value is the place of an object in social practice. In science, there are descriptive (descriptive) and evaluative studies. Descriptive scientific laws describe cause-and-effect relationships in nature and society without evaluating them. And evaluative studies provide characteristics, determine what is good, bad or indifferent for a person. In economic and social geography there are both descriptive and value judgments.
Thus, an assessment is a subjective image of objective reality, that is, it reflects the interaction of the subject and objective reality (object).
In scientific and practical activities, related to the solution of social and economic problems, the concept of choice, which is formed on the basis of assessments, plays an important role. It is possible to define such concepts as natural conditions, resources and environment only taking into account who or what they are used for, therefore, their assessment is based on knowledge of both the object (nature) and the subject.
In the logic of assessments, there are four components: subject; object;
character; warp.
Let's look at the connections between these components:
Subject-object. Depending on the tasks of social life
The following rating systems are distinguished:
1) natural complex - technical system(technological assessment)
2) natural complex - economics (economic assessment)
3) natural complex - man (medico-biological, socio-ecological, aesthetic, recreational assessments).
Character. Assessments are divided into absolute and comparative. To formulate the former, for example, the terms “good”, “bad” are used, and to formulate comparative assessments - “better”, “worse”.
Warp. Characterizing the position ( scientific basis) on which the evaluative consideration is based. For example, by the mid-50s. Naturalistic assessments were common in studies of natural conditions and resources. The legitimacy of monetary valuation was denied natural resources, since it was believed that nature lies outside the labor process and is not a product of labor. Obviously, the gifts of nature do not require labor, but their processing and storage requires significant labor costs. Therefore, monetary valuation of natural resources is possible and necessary.
Naturalistic assessments have been replaced by technological ones, according to which, for example, the forest is primarily a source of wood. The dominance of technological assessments is explained by the fact that technological, natural connections predominated in the country's economy, and there were practically no cost relations; there were no market mechanisms capable of ensuring the relatively rational use of natural resources.
With market relations and concern for the long-term consequences of using nature, various types economic (cost) estimates: 1) based on the calculation of rent; 2) at the cost of restoration of natural resources and the natural environment; 3) by the volume of expenses for research, development and operation.
The value of natural resources, as ecologists and some economists believe, does not coincide with the categories of cost or price. It must be a historical category, related to social needs, the level of development of the productive forces, scientific and technological progress, and come from strategic interests. Proponents of adaptation theory approach the problem even more radically, believing that the parameters of planned economic growth need to be adapted to nature, taking into account the natural, including environmental, capacity of the territory, and not transform nature in accordance with the requirements of this growth.

The state of the natural environment in Russia has an adverse (favorable) impact on health, living and labor activity population. The zoning of the territory was carried out according to the degree of manifestation of the main natural factors - cold, heat, moisture, terrain altitude, natural phenomena.
Zonal factors (indicators): astronomical (length of day and night); radiation (ultraviolet deficiency-excess); cold (the sum of negative air temperatures, the duration of the period with temperatures below -30°C, the duration of the heating period); frozen (thickness of the seasonally thawed layer); thermal (duration of the frost-free period, the sum of temperatures for a period with stable temperatures above +10°C); humidity of the territory (vegetation index); wind (Hill wet wind cooling index); variability (standard deviation of daily pressure values).
Azonal factors (indicators): mountain (terrain); swampiness (relative swampiness of territories); natural phenomena (, floods,).
The natural living conditions of the population are characterized by quantitative integral assessment(in the form of points). The given gradations of points reflect changes in the degree of unfavorability (favourability) of natural conditions for life.
Extreme climatic conditions
Climate extremes are the most important factor in people’s living conditions, since they create the preconditions for the emergence of emergency situations. The readiness of society to reduce their consequences depends on knowledge of the combinations of possible climatic extremes in a given area. Extremely high or low temperatures, strong winds, and intense precipitation are selected as the main indicators. Areas with maximum water equivalents (the maximum seasonal water equivalent on the long-term average exceeds 200 mm) have been identified, which are also a factor contributing to the occurrence of dangerous climatic and hydrological phenomena. The proposed zoning is based on combinations of extremes observed in one or another territory, without taking into account their coincidence or discrepancy in time.
Extremely high temperatures threaten stressful thermal loads on the human body, which cannot be removed even by a full range of hygienic and urban planning measures (clothing, territory planning, irrigation, landscaping, etc.). During periods high temperatures, in Russian conditions usually accompanied by a lack of precipitation, there is a threat of droughts, as well as plant (forest, peat, steppe) and other fires. As a criterion for high temperatures for zoning, the long-term average number of days per year (equal to or more than 5 days) with a maximum temperature exceeding or equal to +30°C was selected. Extremely high summer temperatures are observed in more than a third of Russia's territory (33.5%).
Extremely low temperatures threaten frostbite for people in the open air, disrupt building operating systems and equipment operating conditions, and lead to deep freezing of the soil. The criterion for extremely low temperatures is the average (with a probability of once every 2 years) of the annual absolute temperature minimums (- 40°C) and below. Areas with extremely low temperatures in winter cover approximately three-quarters of the country's territory (74.3%).
Extremely intense precipitation threatens difficult-to-predict rain floods on rivers, flooding of urban areas due to overflow of drainage systems, flooding leading to the death of plants and soil washout, road erosion, landslides, and storm mudflows. The probability of occurrence of precipitation equal to or exceeding 50 mm/day no less than once every 10 years is accepted as a criterion for zoning. Extreme precipitation is observed in one fifth of the country's territory (22.1%).
Extremely strong winds threaten to disrupt communications (power lines, etc.), tear off roofs of buildings, uproot trees, cause dangerous storms on the water, etc. Such a wind intensifies the effect of cold on the human body and dries out the soil during hot dry winds. Particularly strong winds occur during the passage of intense convective clouds on cold fronts over a warm surface. Wind squalls and hurricanes can cause loss of life. The probability of recording wind speeds of 20 m/s or higher at least once every 10 years during one of the meteorological observation periods was chosen as a criterion for zoning. Extremely strong winds are observed in almost half of the country (47.9%).
The diversity of Russia's natural conditions determines the existence on its territory of 50 geographical regions where all 16 possible combinations of four types of extremes occur (one, two, three or all four, including their complete absence). Regions with a homogeneous set of climatic extremes are identified at a considerable distance from each other and often differ in average climatic characteristics. The identified areas are heterogeneous in size - from covering several million square kilometers to areas of the first tens of thousands of square kilometers and less.
Zoning of the territory of the North of Russia
The life activity of the population of the Russian North is influenced by many unfavorable factors of a natural, medical-biological and socio-economic nature. According to their significance for humans, the most important is natural-climatic discomfort, which reflects the adverse impact of the natural environment on human health, his residence and work activity.
The North of Russia includes a subpolar territory with increasing natural and climatic discomfort with latitude. Indicators of the natural-climatic factor worsen in the direction from threshold (northern) values on the southern border of the territory to high latitudes. Totality threshold indicators form the southern border of the North. The criterion for determining threshold northern indicators are zonal landscapes according to the classification of A.G. Isachenko, in which a period with uncomfortable living conditions predominates throughout the year.
The landscape approach was also used to differentiate the territory of the Russian North into zones of natural and climatic discomfort. The absolutely uncomfortable zone includes arctic, mountain and northern landscapes. Forest-tundra, northern taiga, middle taiga, East Siberian, mountain landscapes in the middle taiga represent an extremely uncomfortable zone. And finally, the northern part of the central taiga Eastern European and Western Siberian, southern taiga Central Siberian, mountain landscapes in the southern taiga of Eastern Siberia form the discomfort zone of the North.
An absolutely uncomfortable zone is characterized by a polar night, a period with ultraviolet deficiency of about 6–7 months, a sum of negative temperatures from 1400 to 7000°C, a period with temperatures below –30°C from 5 to 170 days, a period with air temperatures below 5°C – more than 300 days, the spread of a continuous zone in the Asian part and intermittent in the European part and its weak thawing, the highest Bodman weather severity index (more than 5 points).
In the extreme discomfort zone, the day length is less than 3 hours in early January. The period with ultraviolet deficiency is reduced to 5–6 months. The sum of negative temperatures increases in the western part of the zone to 1600°C and decreases to 5100°C. The period with temperatures below –30°C ranges from 5 to 130 days. The period with air temperatures below 5°C is reduced to 265-300 days. In the European part of the zone there is insular permafrost, and in the Asian part there is discontinuous permafrost. The thickness of the seasonally thawed layer increases to 1 m. The Bodman index ranges from 4 to 5 points.
In the discomfort zone, the length of the day increases in early January to 4–5 hours. The period with ultraviolet deficiency is reduced to 4–5 months. The sum of negative temperatures decreases in the western part of the zone to 1000°C, and in Eastern Siberia to 3800°C. The period with temperatures below –30°C ranges from 5 to 90 days. The period with air temperatures below 5°C is reduced to 245–265 days. In the Asian part of the zone, island permafrost predominates. The thickness of the seasonally thawed layer reaches 1–2 m. The Bodman index is in the range of 3.5–4.0 points.
