The initial stage of the Exploration of Europe (2nd millennium - V century BC)
The history of the study of Europe goes back to ancient times. In the XVI-XII centuries. to i. e. the Cretans made sea trips around the Peloponnese, reached the shores of the archipelagos in the southern part of the Aegean Sea. In the XV-XIII centuries. to ft, e. The Achaeans discovered the Pindus Mountains in western Greece, the Northern Sporades archipelago in the Aegean Sea, and the Chalkidiki Peninsula in northeastern Greece. The Phoenicians in the process of colonizing the central and western Mediterranean c. 9th century to i. e. discovered the Apennine Peninsula, the islands of Malta, Sardinia, Sicily, the Balearic Islands, they also made attempts to enter the ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. However, there was no complete idea of ​​the geography of the mainland during this period.
The second stage - the discoveries of the ancient Greeks (V-III centuries BC)
During this period, ancient Greek travelers explored the southern coast of Europe within modern France and Spain, including the mouths of rivers flowing into the Mediterranean Sea, sailed in the Ligurian, Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas, established the presence of the Balkan and Apennine peninsulas. Through the Sea of ​​Marmara, the Dardanelles and the Bosporus went to the Black Sea, explored the lower reaches of pp. Dniester, Danube and Dnieper, through the Kerch Strait passed into the Sea of ​​Azov to the mouths of the Kuban and Don rivers.
OK. 325 BC Pytheas sailed along the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, reached about. Ushant near present-day Brest, rounded Brittany and along the northern shores reached the country of the midnight Sun - Thule, discovering during the voyage the islands of Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, the Brittany and Scandinavian, North and Irish Seas, the Kattegat Strait and the Bay of Biscay. He explored the coasts of Norway as far as the Arctic Circle, and was probably the first to report the existence of the Arctic Ocean. He described this farting procession in the essay "On the Ocean" that has not come down to us. In 218 BC. e. the Carthaginian commander Hannibal with a large army made an unprecedented crossing in antiquity through the Western Alps, invaded Gaul and Italy; his campaign, in addition to the military one, also had geographical significance. VIII century. BC e. The Carthaginians penetrated deep into the Iberian Peninsula.
The third stage is the campaigns and discoveries of the Romans (II century BC - II century AD)
In the process of expansion of Ancient Rome, acquaintance with new lands took place. In the II century, BC. e. Roman general Scipio Africanus surveyed many rivers of the Iberian Peninsula. In 58-51 years. to p. e. Caesar with his army passed through the vast territories of present-day France (the rivers Rhone, Garona, Loire, Seine), reached southeastern Britain in the region of the river. Thames, proceeded through a large part of Germany. The Roman generals Agrippa, Krase, Tiberius, advancing with conquering goals in Central Europe, traced the largest - "into the European rivers - the Danube, the Rhine, the Elbe. Conquering Britain, the Romans discovered the Wales Peninsula, the Isles of Wight, Man, Anglesey and reached 57°N Roman traders reached the Baltic Sea In the 2nd century Emperor Trajan discovered the Transylvanian Plateau and the adjoining part of the Carpathians.
The fourth stage of the Exploration of Europe - VI-XVII centuries.
After the Romans, the development of the British Isles was continued by the Irish, who also reached Iceland and the Faroe Islands during their travels. At the end of the 8th century the Vikings skirted the Scandinavian Peninsula and further along the shores of the Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Peninsula went out into the Mediterranean Sea. Traveling to the Baltic Sea, the Vikings discovered all its significant islands, the lower reaches of the rivers flowing into it - the Neman and the Western Dvina. In the VIII-IX centuries. Arabs in the process of conquest campaigns got acquainted with Southern (Pyrenees, etc.) and South-Eastern Europe, in the east they reached the lower reaches of the rivers Emba, Yaik (Ural) rose along the Volga to the mouth of the Kama. In the IX-XII centuries. in Eastern and Northern Europe, Russian princes, seeking to expand their possessions, studied the Dniester basins

Russia is located on the most interesting and diverse continent of the planet, which has collected a little bit of almost everything.

So what place does the Eurasian continent occupy in the world?

Characteristics of the largest continent on Earth

There are 6 continents in total on the planet. Eurasia (in English it says Eurasia) is the largest.

Characteristics:

1. Area - 55,000,000 km².
2. There was no such researcher who discovered Eurasia in its entirety. Different peoples discovered it bit by bit, and in different periods great ancient civilizations were formed. The term "Eurasia" was introduced in 1880 by Eduard Suess.
3. The mainland is so large that on the map it can be seen immediately in 3 hemispheres: northern, eastern and western.
4. The population density is about 94 people per sq. km.
5. Eurasia is the continent with the largest population. For 2015, the number is 5 billion 132 million.

Extreme points on the mainland Eurasia with coordinates

List of Eurasian countries with capitals

Countries on the mainland are usually divided into countries of Europe and Asia.

European countries with capitals:

Asian countries with capitals:

What oceans border Eurasia

The main feature of the geographical position of Eurasia is that the mainland is washed by almost all oceans. And since in some countries the 5th Ocean (Southern) has not yet been recognized, it can be partly argued that Eurasia is washed by all existing oceans.

What parts of the mainland are washed by the oceans:

• Arctic - northern;
• Indian - southern;
• Pacific Ocean - east;
• Atlantic - western.

Natural zones of Eurasia

There are all existing types of natural zones on the territory. They stretch from west to east and from north to south.

How are they geographically located?

• Arctic- islands in the very north;
• and forest-tundra- in the north of the Arctic Circle. In the eastern part, an expansion of the zone is observed;
• taiga- located a little to the south;
• mixed forests - located in the Baltic States and in the eastern part of Russia;
• broadleaf forests- zones in the western and eastern parts of the mainland;
• hardwood forests- located in the Mediterranean region;
• forest-steppes and steppes- located in the central part south of the taiga;
• deserts and semi-deserts- are located south of the previous zone, as well as in the eastern part in China;
• savannas- coast of the Indian Ocean;
• variable wet forests- the most southeastern and southwestern regions, as well as the Pacific coast;
• rainforests are islands in the Indian Ocean.

Climate

Due to the geographical position of the mainland, the climatic conditions on its territory are quite diverse. In different regions, all climatic indicators differ: temperature, rainfall, air masses.

The southernmost regions are the hottest. To the north, the climate is gradually changing. The central part is already characterized by moderate climatic conditions. BUT northern part of the mainland is in the realm of ice and cold.

Proximity to the oceans also plays an important role. The winds of the Indian Ocean bring a large amount of precipitation. But the closer to the center, the less they are.

In what climatic zones is Eurasia located:

• arctic and subarctic;
• tropical and subtropical;
• equatorial and subequatorial.

Relief

On other continents, a certain type of relief is common. Mountains are usually located on the coast. The relief of Eurasia is different in that the mountainous regions are located in the center of the mainland.

There are two mountain belts: the Pacific and the Himalayan. These mountains are of different ages and formed at different times.

To the north of them are several plains:

• Great Chinese;
• West Siberian;
• European;
• Turan.

Also in the central part are the Kazakh hills and the Central Siberian plateau.

The highest mountains

One of the main features of Eurasia is that on the mainland there is the highest mountain in the world - Everest (8848 m).

Mount Everest

But there are several other highest mountain peaks:

• Chogori (8611 m);
• Ulugmuztag (7723 m);
• Tirichmir (7690 m);
• peak of Communism (7495 m);
• Peak Pobeda (7439 m);
• Elbrus (5648).

Volcanoes

The highest active volcano in Eurasia is Klyuchevaya Sopka. It is located near the eastern coast of the mainland in Kamchatka.

Volcano Klyuchevaya Sopka

Other active volcanoes:

• Kerinchi (Sumatra Island, Indonesia);
• Fujiyama (Honshu Island, Japan);
• Vesuvius (Italy);
• Etna (Sicily, Italy).

Volcano Erciyes

The highest extinct volcano is Erciyes (Turkey).

The largest island

Kalimantan is the largest island in Eurasia.

Parts of the island belong to 3 different countries: Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. It is the 3rd largest island in the world.

Peninsulas of Eurasia

The biggest river

The largest river in Eurasia, the Yangtze, flows through China.

Its length is approximately 6,300 km, and the basin area is 1,808,500 km².

The largest lake

Lake Baikal is the largest in Eurasia and in the world.

Its area is 31,722 km². The lake is located in the eastern part of Siberia. It is truly unique, because it is not only the largest, but also the deepest in the world. The maximum depth of Baikal is 1,642 m.

Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland

1. Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, is the northernmost in the world.
2. One plant of interest is bamboo. It is able to grow up to 90 cm per day.
3. "Altai" in translation from the Mongolian language means "Golden Mountains".

So we come to the discovery and exploration of the last continent - Eurasia. From today's lesson, you will begin to discover this continent for yourself. You will learn about its nature, the originality of the organic world, about the countries and peoples inhabiting Eurasia.

And where do we start the study of any continent? Veno, with its geographical location, therefore the topic of our today's lesson is "Geographical location and history of the study of Eurasia"

Your main task in the lesson is to work out the ability to determine the geographical location of the mainland, to draw a conclusion about how the geographical location will affect the nature of Eurasia. To identify such features of the mainland that make it unique, different from all other continents. You will get acquainted with the names of researchers who have made a great contribution to the study of Eurasia.

So, it's time to discover Eurasia. Especially since you already know how to discover the continents.

What continents have you already discovered, studied?

I offer you a game: according to the characteristics, determine which continent we are talking about.

The equator runs almost in the middle.
It ranks second in terms of area.
