Natural areas of Australia. Summary of a geography lesson on the topic "Natural areas of Australia"

What is a natural complex?
What natural complexes are called natural areas?
What is the main reason for the alternation of natural zones?

Natural areas. If you compare the distribution of natural zones in Australia and Africa (see the map on the flyleaf), you will find that in Australia, as well as in Africa, a large area is occupied by savannah and tropical desert zones. Tropical deserts and semi-deserts are located in the central and western parts of the continent. Savannas border this zone from the north, east, southeast and southwest.

The originality of the organic world. Although Australia has the same natural zones as South Africa and Madagascar, except for the areas of altitudinal zonation, the organic world here is completely different. Nature has created a huge reserve in Australia, where many plants and animals have been preserved, similar to those that inhabited the Earth in ancient times and disappeared on other continents. The species composition of plants and animals is poor and unique. This is explained by the fact that Australia and the adjacent islands have long been separated from other continents.

The organic world developed in isolation for a long time. Up to 75% of the mainland's plant species are found only in Australia. These include many species of eucalyptus, which are very diverse. There are giant eucalyptus trees, more than 100 m high. The roots of such trees go 30 m into the ground and, like powerful pumps, pump out moisture from it. There are low-growing eucalyptus and bush eucalyptus. Eucalyptus trees are well adapted to arid climates. Their leaves are located edge-on to the sunlight, the crown does not shade the soil, so eucalyptus forests are light. Eucalyptus trees have hardwood that is a good building material. And their leaves are used to produce oils, paints, and medicines.

In addition to eucalyptus trees, Australia is characterized by acacias and casuarinas with leafless thread-like branches, which are not found on other continents.

Rice. 67. Australia's fauna is unique

In subequatorial forests, among tall grasses, along with other trees (palms, ficuses, etc.), peculiar bottle trees grow... - with a trunk thick at the base, sharply tapering upward. A characteristic feature of subtropical forests is the dominance of various types of eucalyptus trees intertwined with vines and many tree ferns.

In the interior desert areas, thickets of dry bushes are common, consisting mainly of low-growing thorny acacias and eucalyptus trees. Such thickets are called scrub. There is almost no vegetation on moving sandy ridges and rocky placers. In contrast to Africa, Australia does not have oases, but the deserts do not look as lifeless as, for example, the Sahara.

The fauna of Australia is also very unique. Only here live the most primitive mammals - the echidna and the platypus. They are interesting because they hatch their young from eggs and feed them milk, like mammals. There are many marsupials in Australia. Their cubs are born very small, and the mother carries them to term in a pouch, which is a fold of skin on the abdomen.

The vast majority of marsupial families are unique to Australia. Among them, the kangaroo family is especially common. Giant kangaroos reach 3 m. There are dwarf kangaroos, 30 cm in size. Wombats, reminiscent of marmots, are also found here. In eucalyptus forests you can find the marsupial koala bear. It lives in trees and leads a sedentary nocturnal lifestyle; it is also called the Australian sloth. A very rare predator has survived on the island of Tasmania - the marsupial devil.

The world of birds is rich, diverse and also unique. Especially a lot of parrots. In the forests there is a beautiful bird, the lyrebird, birds of paradise with bright plumage, in dry savannas and semi-deserts - the emu. There are lizards, poisonous snakes, and crocodiles live in the waters of Northern Australia.

Australians love and care for the nature of their continent. They pay a lot of attention to the protection of plants and animals and their study. The emu and kangaroo are depicted on the country's national emblem, and the echidna, platypus, and lyrebird are depicted on Australian coins.

What are the features of the location of natural areas in Australia? What explains them?
What is the uniqueness of the flora and fauna? Explain the reasons for this uniqueness.

1. What is a natural complex?

A natural complex is a section of the earth’s surface that is distinguished by the characteristics of natural components that are in complex interaction. Each natural complex has boundaries and has a natural unity, manifested in its appearance. The largest natural complex is the geographical envelope of the Earth. Next come the continents and oceans, and within the continents are countries. Examples of natural complexes include natural zones: tundra, taiga, temperate forests, steppes, deserts, seas, rivers, lakes, etc. The smallest natural complexes occupy small areas. These are hilly ridges, individual hills, their slopes; or a low-lying river valley and its individual sections. The territories of the natural complex also include urban and suburban forests, forest parks, and parks.

2. What natural complexes are called natural areas?

Complexes that have common temperature conditions, moisture, soils, vegetation and fauna. Such complexes are called natural areas.

3. What is the main reason for the alternation of natural zones?

Geographical location and latitudinal zonation.

Questions and tasks

1. What are the features of the location of natural areas in Australia? What explains them?

In Australia, a large area is occupied by savannah and tropical desert zones. Tropical deserts and semi-deserts are located in the central and western parts of the continent. Savannas border this zone from the north, east, southeast and southwest. The location of natural areas is influenced by several factors: relief, climate, ocean, atmospheric circulation. In the northern part of the continent, humid and variable-humid forests have formed in the subequatorial climate zone. As they move away from the ocean, they move into the zone of savannas and woodlands. The tropical climate zone is dominated by deserts and semi-deserts. In the south of the continent, in a subtropical humid climate, there is a natural zone of hard-leaved evergreen forests and shrubs. In the east of the continent, along the Great Dividing Range, in a humid climate, under the influence of winds from the Pacific Ocean, variable-humid forests formed.

2. What is the diversity of flora and fauna? Explain the reasons for this uniqueness.

During the classes

I. Organizational moment.

Today we will take you on an unusual journey. Our task is to consolidate knowledge.

I have it in my box

Colored squares

Who is in charge today?

He gets squares

At the end of the lesson we will count

We'll find out the winner.

Listen to the lines of J. Verne from the book “The Children of Captain Grant”

1). “And I swear to you that this region is the most curious on the entire globe! Its emergence, nature, plants, animals, climate, its future disappearance - all this surprised, surprises and will continue to surprise scientists all over the world. The most bizarre, most illogical country that has ever existed! J. Verne

What geographical object do you think we are talking about? Solve the puzzle.

I. ORGANIZATIONAL MOMENT. (1-2 slide) Would you like to visit this continent?

Teacher . Let's go on a trip today to the smallest and driest continent and tell about it so that our guests present at the lesson will want to go there immediately after its completion, so that they can see the wonders of nature with their own eyes, meet interesting animals, inhabiting it.

To find out more, it’s better to go there yourself. Do you agree? Then go ahead!

“How to get to the “fifth continent”, to trace the path to Australia, you need to turn the globe half a turn. A traveler who planned to overcome this distance 100-200 years ago would have needed a whole year. Nowadays, you can fly to Sydney in 40 hours by plane. Australians love their country very much. As soon as a foreigner steps off the plane, he is immediately told: “Australia is the best country in the world" So what will we use to go to this continent? ON THE SHIP

So, you are not in a classroom, but you are on board a ship and are going, as tourists, on a trip to a distant and unknown continent.

While sailing, let's give a general description of Australia, get acquainted with the physical and geographical position of the continent, and talk about amazing animals that live only in Australia.

Let's do " correspondence travelto the mysterious continent. (card has 2 students)

We opened our notebooks and wrote down the number, but today these are not notebooks, butlogbooks,and everything you see and learn will be recorded in the logbook.

II. Competition "Warm-up".

Come up with one sentence that would indicate the peculiarity of Australia.

Australia is part of the world.

The smallest continent.

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere.

There are no deep rivers.

There is one state - the Commonwealth of Australia.

The most sparsely populated continent, home to 19 million people.

Australia has many animals and plants that are found nowhere else in the world.

The driest continent.

The north of Australia is hotter than the south.

Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere.

Australia has no active volcanoes or earthquakes.

The most remote one is open later than others.

III. REPEATING THE MATERIAL COVERED.

Any expedition or journey begins with studying the map. Brainstorm.

1 group. We sailed to the mainland. Tell us about the coastline of this continent

Let's look at the outlines of the mainland's coastline. Using maps, students identify the oceans, seas, bays, and straits that surround the continent. (cards: 1 -

Coral sea...)

North - Indian Ocean (Sea of Arafut, Gulf of Carpentaria)

East - Pacific Ocean (Coral Sea, Tasman Sea, Fiji Sea)

South - Indian Ocean (Great Australian Bight)

West - Indian Ocean

Students then do conclusion, that the coastline of Australia is very slightly indented. The teacher adds: there are few bays here, the most convenient of them are located in the southeast of the mainland, where the country's major ports are located.

Assignment: Without using a map of Australia, students first give answers, and then check their correctness using atlas maps

Australia is washed from the south by the Pacific or Indian Ocean?
The Great Barrier Reef is located along the western or along eastern coast of Australia?
Which island is Tasmania? or is New Guinea located south of Australia?
Australia is washed from the north Indian or the Pacific Ocean?
The Great Barrier Reef is located in Quiet or the Indian Ocean?
Northernmost point of the Cape York or Cape Byron?

Org. moment: Slide 1. (music) Today we will continue to study the components of the nature of this amazing continent, we will get acquainted with natural areas, plants and animals.

3. Learning new material. Any expedition or journey begins with studying the map. Open the atlases on page 17, map of natural areas (1 min.). See what natural areas are found in Australia(semi-deserts and deserts, savannas and woodlands, variable-humid forests, hard-leaved evergreen forests and the south of Tasmania in the zone of mixed and broad-leaved forests.Students visually determine that the natural zones of savannas and tropical deserts have the largest area.

Slide. Are these natural areas familiar to you? On what continent did you meet? What region of Africa can Australia be compared to? (South Africa)

Exercises for legs and arms.

The teacher names the objects, if they are located on the continent of Africa, you need to get up from your seat and raise your hands up, if on the continent of Australia, then sit.

River Nile, Orange, Congo, Murray, Lake Victoria, Eyre, Chad, Nyasa. Great Barrier Reef, Kosciuszko, Drakonowy, Cape York, Cape Agulhas, Cape Byron, Steep Point.

Although Australia has the same natural areas as South Africa, the organic world here is completely different. Nature has created a huge reserve in Australia, where many plants and animals have been preserved, similar to those that inhabited the Earth in ancient times and disappeared on other continents. The organic world developed in isolation for a long time. Up to 75% of plant species are found only in Australia.

Slide. We are located in the savannas and woodlands of Australia. Red ferrallitic and brown-red soils predominate here.Savannas are steppes, with eucalyptus, acacia, bottle and other trees growing among the grass.

Slide. Deserts occupy the central and western parts of the continent. The desert is devoid of vegetation. But they meet herethickets of small shrubs of thorny acacia and eucalyptus - called SCRAEB. (write it down) . Such deserts are good pastures for sheep. There are also sandy deserts, such as the Great Sandy Desert. There are no oases in the deserts of Australia.

In scrub - dense low thickets - the height of eucalyptus trees does not exceed 5-6 meters. All eucalyptus trees shed their bark. Foliage and bark soaked in essential oils easily ignite and then the forest turns into a sea of fire. However, the trees themselves, as a rule, do not die, since the fire only affects the bark. Eucalyptus grows very quickly and in 35 years reaches the height of a two-hundred-year-old oak tree. In 20 years, eucalyptus trees can produce as much wood as other tree species can produce in only 100 years. The leaves of these plants contain essential oils that have healing properties and are used to produce oils, paints, and medicines, and the impregnated durable wood does not rot and does not harbor insects. Tannins are obtained from many types of eucalyptus.

Slide. Where are forests found in Australia? Why? The greenery of the forests is disturbed by acacia; different species bloom all year round.In tropical rainforests there are ficus trees, tree ferns, eucalyptus trees, banyan trees, and mangrove trees; in drier areas - eucalyptus and acacia.On about. Tasmania has temperate forests. (vl subtropics grow in 2 tiers: 1st tier - eucalyptus, 2nd tier - tree ferns)

Forest is relatively rare in Australia: it covers 2% of the country's area. The forests form a narrow strip between the mountains and the ocean in the east (north-east - variable-humid, south-east - hard-leaved - evergreen forests, and only the island of Tasmania is completely covered with mixed forest). The forests are dominated by eucalyptus trees, of which there are at least 600 species.

Australian forests are dominated by eucalyptus , of which there are about 600 species. The dense crown of tall (up to 100 m) trees is located in the upper part of the trunk, and the roots of such trees go 30 meters into the ground and, like powerful pumps, pump out moisture from it. Eucalyptus trees are well adapted to arid climates. Their leaves are located edge-on to the sunlight, the crown does not shade the soil, so eucalyptus forests are light.

In addition to eucalyptus trees, acacias are typical for Australia, and casuarinas are common, especially along rivers. In tropical forests it grows: araucaria, banyan, red cedar.

Among the interesting trees of the tropical forests are Banyan. Its seeds, which are scattered by birds, get stuck in the branches and germinate, putting out roots that cling to the host tree. First, a woody, potato-shaped tuber develops, then it lowers its root to the ground, followed by other roots intertwining with each other, and the host tree finds itself entangled in a dense network of banyan roots. The tree grows up to 25 m tall.

Endemic to Australiabottle tree(subquat forest) . Its lower part is prohibitively wide - hence its name. The loose wood of the trunk retains a supply of moisture, which the tree uses up during the dry season. If you knock on its trunk, the sound will be dull, gurgling. During drought, farmers more than once saved livestock from hunger and thirst by giving the animals finely chopped bottle tree wood.

Casuarina - unusual trees. Instead of leaves, they have thin long shoots, reminiscent of the needles of coniferous trees. The shape of the crown of the tree resembles a spruce, and it is called the “Christmas tree.” Because of their durable wood, casuarinas are also called “Ironwood”.

Slides 14 -17.

The continent's fauna is also unique. Watch the video clips carefully and try to answer what makes them special. Write down the names of the animals that will be discussed.Video clips.

What makes animals unique? Why are these animals found only on this continent?

Pause. Let's see how carefully you looked and listened to me? I read the sentence and if you agree with me, clap your hands twice. If you don't agree, don't clap. Let's check?!

The koala eats only eucalyptus leaves.

In Australia there are kangaroos, hippopotamuses, and emus.

The natural areas of Australia and Africa are very similar.

The platypus and echidna are oviparous mammals.

Eucalyptus forests are light, as the leaves are turned edge-on to the sun.

The most unique continent! But with the development of the mainland, nature suffered especially badly. Many animals are on the verge of extinction. Significant areas cleared of forest are occupied by fields and vineyards. Rabbits and sheep quickly settled and took their place in the food chain, poplar, oak and other plants reproduced. Slide 18 . On page 149 of the textbook there is an ecological map of the continent. What problems are typical? Is it possible to solve them? There are environmental laws and national parks are being created, but despite these measures, much remains to be done.

Slide 19. Compare the proportion of Australia's protected areas with other regions and countries. Slide 20. Australians strive to preserve the unique organic world. The coat of arms of Australia depicts an ostrich and a kangaroo, while the coins depict an echidna, a platypus and a lyrebird.

4. Consolidation. Creative work. Write a call, request or appeal on the topic: “Let's preserve the nature of the continent”, for example,She - Nature - has always been and will be stronger than man. Therefore, do no harm!

Work in pairs, time – 3 minutes.

Students read out their work.

What did you learn in the lesson? How did you do in the lesson? Evaluate yourself.

Why does Australia have such unusual flora and fauna?

Scientists explain this as follows. In the distant past, about 130 million years ago, the same species of plants and animals were on the Gondwana continent. After the division of Gondwana, the continent of Australia turned out to be the most distant from other continents, which is why these plants and animals were preserved. And on other southern continents, as a result of climate change and human intervention in nature, these plants and animals died.
