Let's talk today about a very interesting topic - about what are geographical objects. And consider mainly natural. We can say that this topic is dedicated to lovers of nature, hiking, traveling. Undoubtedly, the settlements are also affected. Let's get started?
I want to the south: to see the beach, the sea and the sun!
It’s rare to meet people who say that the sea is bad. On the other hand, everyone has their own preferences. What objects and places are geographic objects here? Call the following (we list):
- sea (ocean, bay, strait);
- beach (land coast, island);
- nature reserves;
- Deserts (for example, if you rest in Egypt, Jordan or Israel).
By the way, if there are caves and entire cities under water, then they are also considered geographical objects. Atolls, harbors, mountains and rocks, caves - all this can also be attributed to our topic.
You can’t call it so fish, seaweed, sand on the beach, vacationers and popsicle in your hands.
And in the North or in Antarctica what to see?
Truly unusual places on Earth are the North and South Poles. Let's talk about Antarctica, because there are more geographical features. Imagine that you got there, or look at the photo.
What are the main geographic features we see here? Frozen water. Of course, we cannot know what kind of pond it is. Let it be some kind of strait. Undoubtedly, the Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans are also objects. They are indicated on the map of the world, country, area. Penguins, of course, and walruses with seals are not noted. And white bears, even huge ones, also have no right to call objects. These are animals that move, breathe, eat, in general, live in such an environment.
We look further: on the left and right side in the photo there are mountains, rocks, perhaps volcanoes did not fall into the frame. These are also all natural geographical features. We will also include here icebergs, centuries-old blocks of ice that can be mistaken for ice mountains.
And rivers, and mountains, and the forest - a country full of wonders
Let us mentally visit our beloved Eurasia - our continent. What did Mother Earth give us? A lot of everything! The most beautiful country is Abkhazia, unusual Siberia and the Urals, in Western Europe (for example, in Scotland) there are unusual lakes, mountains. Below we admire the scenery.
A narrow river flows below. On the sides of the unusual mountains, overgrown with vegetation. What are the geographical features that are available here? Naturally, much is hidden from us behind the scenes. But still we list:
- river (or stream);
- mountains and rocks;
- caves and grottoes;
- sights, for example, rocks that form some kind of symbol (for example, Lena pillars in Siberia).
Any temples, castles, monasteries, nature reserves that will meet travelers or locals are also objects. It cannot be attributed to this pebble, tree or snail.
european part of Russia
The paradox is incomprehensible when the Russians seek to get impressions abroad, somewhere in the Maldives or in Venice. In Russia, no less amazing and beautiful places. What geographical features will evoke positive emotions or where will the tourist shout “Wow!”? For example, on Baikal. Altai mountains with turquoise and blue lakes will not leave anyone indifferent. Russian North: Karelia, Valdai, Vologda ... So many things can be seen in such places! And the famous Kungur caves are so unusual! Ice stalactites and stalagmites hang here all year round .
What are geographic features? In the photo there is a clear blue river, forest and mountains - these are all they are. Each mountain and river can have its own name. But forests are not called by all, and then, perhaps, such names are common only among local residents. Nevertheless, the forest is an object of nature.
Exotic places
In nature there are such amazing places as natural basins, geysers, valleys, caves, waterfalls. All this can be called the objects that nature created. But do not forget that there are artificial ones. For example, a pond dug in a park, an artificial waterfall, a large fountain. Despite the fact that these objects are man-made, they are geographical objects. They call it the sights. We will talk about this a bit later.
The jungle, savannah, desert, taiga and tundra - all this on our topic. Do not forget that small and moving objects, as well as living things, are not objects. You can only call a huge tree (for example, baobab) so. For example, if it is a symbol, a famous place, and it is somehow indicated on a map of the area.
Sights, cities and villages
We talked about nature. Of course, science is not limited to natural objects . There are also objects, such as settlements:
- cities;
- villages;
- villages;
- auls;
- villages.
In the cities and towns themselves, there may be some sights, factories, hospitals, and so on. But, nevertheless, what geographical features are listed? Only attractions. For example, the city of St. Petersburg is a huge object in geography, and the signs of the Church of the Savior on Blood are smaller.
Of course, there are, for example, industrial facilities. But they are not related to our topic. Let's think, is the park a geographic feature? Sure. The Ostankino Tower in Moscow, the Kremlin, the Eiffel Tower in Paris are all on the topic.
Even in small towns, cultural monuments, recreation parks are geographical objects. Perhaps in the Moscow region you saw artificial pyramids on the highway? And even Egyptian - geographical features.
Practice at your leisure. Remember what interesting places you saw. What do you remember?
And what about space? And does this apply to geographic features?
And so, our topic is coming to an end. We have understood what geographic features are, we have given many examples. But curious schoolchildren may have a question about whether the Earth, the Moon, the Sun can be called so? No and no again! After all, there are different types of objects. In this case - space. And we studied geographic, that is, everything related to nature, the sights of cities and so on.
When there is such a topic at school, do not be alarmed. The phrase sounds uninteresting, but if you look at it based on illustrations and video materials, it turns out that this is a rather interesting lesson.
