Exercise 1.

This process is necessary for a number of different reasons, including:

overpopulation and hypertrophied dominance

to resolve a dispute between "objects" having equal grounds to claim it

due to direct military threat

due to unfortunate geographical and geopolitical position

to break free from old traditions

to accelerate the development of underdeveloped territories.

In 2018, Russia will celebrate the 100th anniversary of this process, which took place in our country for reason No. 3.

In Australia it happened for reason #2

Brazil did it for reason #6

Questions:

a) What is the process?

B) Name the objects of this process in Russia, Australia and Brazil

C) In Ukraine, this happened several times for various reasons. In the 17th century, these were Chigirin, Baturin, Glukhov. Name two "objects" that were involved in this process in the twentieth century.

D) Name the only country in the world that does not have this “object” at all.

Task 2.

Initially, there were 5 colonies with the same name, which differed only in belonging to their metropolis (for this, one of 5 adjectives was added to the name, respectively: Spanish, Portuguese, British, Dutch or French).

Subsequently, the Spanish and Portuguese became part of neighboring states and disappeared from the political map of the world.

The British became an independent state and is now officially called quite exotic - "co-operative republic". It is the only English-speaking country on its mainland.

The Dutch colony, having become an independent state, changed its name and now it is the smallest republic in terms of area on this mainland. Almost the entire population of this country is concentrated in its northern part, while the south is practically deserted.

The French colony has not yet gained independence and is an overseas department of its metropolis.

Questions:

a) What is the historical name of these five colonies?

B) Which states included the Spanish and Portuguese parts of this historical region?

C) What are the names of the territories of these former colonies that exist on modern map peace.

D) Name their capitals (administrative centers)

three golden lions on red,

red lion on a golden field,

golden harp on a blue field,

three golden lilies on a blue field

The fifth (lower) part - three red leaves of a local tree on a silver field, growing from one branch as a symbol of the development of a single nation from many peoples.

Questions:

a) What country's coat of arms are we talking about?

b) What is depicted on the flag of this country?

C) Which countries' symbols are depicted on the top 4 parts of the coat of arms?

D) Considering that every tenth inhabitant of this country has ancestors from an Eastern European country, what symbol could be placed on the coat of arms?

Exercise 1.

Greenland, New Guinea, Kalimantan, Madagascar, Baffin Island, Sumata, UK, Honshu. The coldest is Greenland, as it is located in the Arctic. The warmest is Kalimantan, as it is crossed by the equator.

Task 2.

There are 4 poles in the northern hemisphere. 1) - the geographic North Pole, this is the point through which the imaginary axis of the Earth passes; 2) - northern magnetic pole, it is currently found in North America north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.It should be noted that from a physical point of view, this pole is "south", since it attracts the north pole of the compass needle; 3) - pole of relative inaccessibility, point with coordinates 83 0 50 / NL and 170 0 o.d. the area is very difficult to get into; 4) - the pole of cold, Oymyakon, where the temperature was -71 0 WITH.

Task 3.

Snow is small ice crystals (therefore it is cold, the temperature is below zero degrees Celsius), combined into loose snowflakes (therefore, there are air cavities in the snow cover, and air is a poor conductor of heat, therefore the ground under the snow does not freeze, snow does not give heat to escape from the ground).

The greater the snow cover, the more water it will give to the soil in spring, and therefore the crops will develop in better conditions.

Strong heat leads to a decrease in atmospheric pressure (warm air rises), therefore, there is a difference in atmospheric pressure with a neighboring territory, and a difference in atmospheric pressure in neighboring territories leads to wind. Coolness is a decrease in temperature, a significant weakening of the heat. As a result, conditions are created for the condensation of water vapor.

Task 4.

This is the extreme southwestern point of Africa. Bartolomeu Dias reached it during a terrible storm and therefore called the Cape of Storms. The king saw this as a good sign of the opening of the sea route to India and Indochina, which drained large profits. The sea route to India was discovered by Vasco da Gama in 1497-1499.
