Natural resources of the world presentation. Geography presentation "geography of the world's natural resources" presentation for a lesson in geography on the topic

Plan:
1. Geographic environment.
2. Nature management.
3. Natural resources. Resource availability.
4. Mineral resources of the world.

The geographic shell is the shell of the Earth, within which the upper part of the lithosphere, the lower part of the atmosphere, the entire hydrosphere and the biosphere penetrate each other and interact.
The anthroposphere is the part of the biosphere that humans use.
The geographic environment is the part of nature with which humanity interacts. Nowadays, it covers more than 60% of the land area. It is a territory for the location of society, a source of all natural resources, people's health. It affects the geographical division of labor, the location of different sectors of the economy.
The environment is the environment of human existence, which includes both natural and artificially created elements.

nature management - this is a system of measures aimed by society at the study, development, protection and transformation of the geographical environment.

Natural resources are components of nature that are used or can be used for the production or satisfaction of human needs.
According to the degree of exhaustion:
Natural resources

For economic use:
Natural resources

Resource availability is the ratio between the amount of natural resources and the amount of their use.
Resource availability \u003d reserves: production (number of years for which this resource will last). Resource availability = stocks: population (stocks per capita).

Task:
Calculate the resource availability of the United States with iron ore, if the country's area is 9.4 million km2, the population is 308 million people, the reserves are 5 billion tons, and the production is 534 million tons.
Solution:
1) 5 billion tons: 534 million tons = 9.36 years
2) 5 billion tons: 308 million people = 16.23 tons per capita
Answer: The US will have enough iron ore for 9.36 years; per capita reserves are 16.23 tons.

Mineral resources of the world
Mineral resources, or minerals, are the main natural resources. They make up most of the raw materials, they get most of the energy.
Patterns of placement of mineral resources
Deposits of igneous rocks are confined to the shields of ancient platforms: iron ores, diamonds, granite.
There are sedimentary rocks in the covers of the platforms: oil, natural gas, coal, table salt.
Folding belts contain reserves of predominantly igneous rocks: non-ferrous metal ores, sulfur.
In foothill foredeep in layers of sedimentary rocks, oil, natural gas, and salts are extracted.

Introduction. We have been familiar with natural resources and environmental problems for a long time. The geographic envelope of the Earth has huge and diverse natural resources. However, the reserves of their different species are far from being the same, and they are unevenly distributed. As a result, individual areas, countries, regions, even continents have different resource availability. Resource availability is the ratio between the amount of natural resources and the size of their use. It is expressed in the number of years for which a given resource should last, or in its per capita reserves. Geographic resource science studies the placement and structure certain types natural resources and their complexes, issues of their protection, reproduction, economic evaluation, rational use and resource availability. In this topic, I want to talk about the world's natural resources, because not everyone knows exactly what they are and their use in our lives. This topic is currently relevant.

Natural resources are a set of natural bodies and natural phenomena that a person uses in his activities aimed at maintaining his existence. Resource availability is the ratio between the amount of natural resources and the amount of their use.

slide 6

Mineral resources Fuel minerals. They are of sedimentary origin and usually accompany the cover of ancient platforms and their internal and marginal troughs. Ore minerals. They usually accompany foundations and ledges (shields) of ancient platforms, as well as folded areas. Non-metallic minerals. The deposits of which are found both in platform and folded areas.

Land resources World Land Fund. It is 13.1 billion hectares. Cultivated lands. They provide 88% of the food that humanity needs. They are concentrated mainly in the forest, forest-steppe and steppe zones of our planet. Meadows and pastures of the earth. They provide 10% of the food consumed by mankind.

slide 11

As a result of all these processes, the "load" on the land is increasing, and the availability of land resources is decreasing.

slide 12

Water resources Fresh water resources account for only 2.5% of the total volume of the hydrosphere. In absolute terms, this is a huge value (30-35 million), which exceeds the current needs of mankind by more than 10 thousand times!

slide 13

Growth in consumption with constant river runoff resources creates a real threat of fresh water shortages. There are also water problems, the main of them - 1. Reducing the water intensity of production processes; 2. Reduction of irretrievable water losses. According to the number of large reservoirs, the USA, Canada, Russia, some countries of Africa and Latin America are distinguished.

slide 14

River runoff is also widely used for hydropower generation. The world's hydropower potential, suitable for use, is estimated at almost 10 trillion. kWh of possible electricity generation. For example, about ½ of this potential falls on only 6 countries: China, Russia, USA, Congo (former Zaire), Canada, Brazil.

slide 15

Biological resources Plant resources They are represented by both cultivated and wild plants. Forest resources These are wild plants. Forests of the world Northern forest belt Southern forest belt Animal resources They are also integral part biosphere, a vital resource.

slide 16

The world's forest resources are characterized by two main indicators: a) forest area (4.1 billion ha) b) standing timber stock (330 billion). Over the past two hundred years, the land cover of the earth has halved and deforestation has become rampant. It is associated with the expansion of soil erosion, and the reduction of oxygen reserves in the atmosphere.

slide 17

The forests of the world form two huge belts in length - northern and southern. The northern forest belt is located in the zone of temperate and subtropical climates. Here, the main logging is carried out, primarily of especially valuable mixed breed timber (in the USA, Canada, Finland, Sweden). The southern forest belt is located mainly in the zone of tropical and equatorial climates. Previously, it was used mainly for firewood; recently, exports to Japan, Western Europe, and the USA have increased many times over.

slide 18

Animal resources There are several million species of animals, birds and many plants on the globe. Animal world Europe, where many species of mammals are on the verge of extinction, from 30 to 50% of all bird species. Conservation of biological diversity, prevention of "erosion" of the gene pool is a very important task.

slide 19

resources of the oceans. (treasury of wealth) Sea water The reserves of which are truly colossal and amount to 1370 million, or 96.5% of the total volume of the hydrosphere. Mineral resources of the ocean floor. Energetic resources These are the resources of the World Ocean, enclosed in daily tidal movements, in the energy of sea waves and the temperature gradient. Biological resources These are animals (fish, mammals) and plants living in its waters.

slide 20

The ocean is a huge pantry of natural resources, which in their potential are quite comparable to the resources of the earth's land. Among the most productive resources of the World Ocean, which V.I. Vernadsky called "condensations of life", are primarily the Norwegian, Northern, Barents, Okhotsk, Sea of Japan located in more northern latitudes, as well as the open northern parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Recreational resources They are divided into four main types: 1) recreational and medical (treatment mineral waters); 2) recreational and health-improving (swimming and beach areas); 3) recreational and sports (ski base); 4) recreational and educational (historical monuments).

slide 23

Conclusion Indicators of resource availability primarily affect the wealth or poverty of the territory with natural resources, since resource availability depends on the scale of their extraction (consumption), this concept is not natural, but socio-economic. And having considered each level of the world's natural resources, we can draw conclusions: there are not so many resources on our planet, it all depends on the life of each person. The interaction of society and nature today has become one of the main universal problems. Anthropogenic changes have affected geographical envelope planet, contributing not only to progress, but also to the growth of pollution environment, depletion of natural resources, exacerbation environmental issues. Therefore, the improvement of nature management, the implementation of a scientifically based environmental policy is one of the most important tasks facing humanity.
