Links to photo galleries of cities and nature reserves

For those who like to look at photographs rather than maps, this site collects photographs of nature reserves, cities and their attractions. Many of the photos in the galleries below are shown in HD quality.

Let's start with a sensational statement: Man's first drawing was a map. Yes, not a hunting scene, but a plan view of the area. Perhaps it was a drawing with a twig on the sand, explaining to fellow tribesmen how to get to the treasured creek on the river or a place where there is a lot of game.

Since ancient times, drawing maps has been one of the most sought-after services, which very rare masters could provide. They cost significant value in return, especially if they were accurate and reliable.

On this page you can see a large map of the world with countries in Russian, expanding it to full screen, decide on the route of future travel or awaken nostalgic memories of past vacation days. We give credit for their authenticity, because these are images from space and there are no errors in them. If a river, a forest, a beach are depicted there, then they really exist.

The source of such cartographic wealth is the Internet resource Google Map And service from Yandex. Using satellite maps of the world is very simple - they have two main control functions:

• change of scale;
• way of displaying the relief.

If you want to get a general idea of ​​the area, then just open the “scheme”, which will allow you to carry out “strategic planning” - to determine the location of cities and points that must be visited.

Much more opportunities to learn about the details of the relief are provided by the “satellite mode” of display, which recognizes terrain elements with a length of 10-15 meters:

• roads;
• clearings;
• squares;
• infrastructure;
• isolated rocks and peaks.

A political map of the world with countries large in Russian is also included in our list of useful tools in static form, you can see it below.

Physical map of the world allows you to see the relief of the earth's surface and the location of the main continents. A physical map gives a general idea of ​​the location of seas, oceans, complex terrain and elevation changes in different parts of the planet. On a physical map of the world, you can clearly see mountains, plains, and systems of ridges and highlands. Physical maps of the world are widely used in schools when studying geography, as they are basic for understanding the main natural features of different parts of the world.

Physical map of the world in Russian - relief

PHYSICAL MAP OF THE WORLD displays the surface of the Earth. The space of the earth's surface contains all the natural resources and wealth of humanity. The configuration of the earth's surface predetermines the entire course of human history. Change the boundaries of the continents, stretch the direction of the main mountain ranges differently, change the direction of the rivers, remove this or that strait or bay, and the whole history of mankind will become different.

“What is the surface of the Earth? The concept of surface has the same meaning as the concept of geographical envelope and the concept of biosphere proposed by geochemists... The earth's surface is three-dimensional - three-dimensional, and by accepting the geographical envelope as a unique biosphere, we emphasize the paramount importance of living matter for geography. The geographical envelope ends where living matter ends.”

The great importance of the structure of continents for the fate of mankind is indisputable. The gap between the eastern and western hemispheres disappeared only 500 years ago with the voyages of the Spaniards and Portuguese to America. Before this, connections between the peoples of both hemispheres existed mainly only in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean.

The deep penetration of the northern continents into the Arctic has long made routes around their northern shores inaccessible. The close convergence of the three main oceans in the area of ​​the three Mediterranean seas created the possibility of connecting them with each other naturally (Strait of Malacca) or artificially (Suez Canal, Panama Canal). The chains of mountains and their location predetermined the movement of peoples. Vast plains led to the unification of people under one state will, strongly dissected spaces contributed to maintaining state fragmentation.

The dismemberment of America by rivers, lakes and mountains led to the formation of Indian peoples who, due to their isolation, could not resist the Europeans. Seas, continents, mountain ranges and rivers form natural boundaries between countries and peoples (F. Fatzel, 1909).

A physical map is a general geographical map that conveys the appearance of the territory and water area. As a rule, it is of a medium or small scale and is of an overview nature. The physical map shows in detail the relief and hydrography, as well as sands, glaciers, floating ice, nature reserves, and mineral deposits; in less detail - socio-economic elements (settlements, communication routes, borders, etc.).

The knowledge that we can gain with the help of a map is great and useful. They will be useful to us in the future. These are the locations of continents and countries; rivers and lakes of the area; distance from the prime meridian; capitals; the height of mountain systems and ridges; the location of a particular geographical object. We can get all this just by looking at the physical map of the world.

Physical map of Russia

The physical map of Russia gives a visual representation of the complex relief, different in origin, history of formation and external morphological characteristics. It is distinguished by great contrasts: on the Russian and West Siberian plains, elevation differences amount to tens of meters, and in the mountains in the south and east of the country they reach hundreds of meters. In the north of the Russian Plain rise the low mountain ranges of Khibiny, Timan, Pai-Khoi, and in the south the plain passes into the Caspian and Azov lowlands, between which stretch the foothills, and then the mountain structures of the Caucasus.

The relatively low and flattened Ural Range. separates European Russia from the vast plains of the West. Siberia, which further to the east are replaced by the vast Central Siberian Plateau, and then by the Far Eastern and Pacific mountain belts. In the south of Russia there are systems of ridges and highlands, reaching heights of 3000-5000 m.

Cities are reduced by thousands and even millions of times and shown conventional signs. Many of them are signed. Symbols and inscriptions on maps are varied. To be able to understand the symbols and what is shown on the map means to be able to read the map.

Continents and oceans

The physical map of the world shows large parts of land in green, yellow and brown - mainland and small islands. They are surrounded on all sides by the water of seas and oceans, colored blue and blue. Seas and oceans are interconnected and form one world ocean. The continents divide the World Ocean into separate oceans: Quiet,Atlantic,Indian And Arctic.Seas- These are parts of the World Ocean that jut into land. There are six continents on Earth: Eurasia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica and Australia. The largest continent is Eurasia. It consists of two parts of the world: Europe and Asia. This happened because in ancient times people thought that these were completely different lands, separated Mediterranean Sea. They learned much later that Europe and Asia constituted a huge single landmass.

Let's compare Ptolemy's map and the modern physical map of the world. Ptolemy's map, created about 1800 years ago, shows the entire surface of the Earth known in ancient times. “Antique” translated from Greek means ancient. Since ancient times, on all maps, north is located at the top of the map, south at the bottom, east on the right, west on the left. On Ptolemy's map we see only the Mediterranean Sea and the lands that surround it - the south of Europe, the west of Asia and the north of Africa, which in ancient times was called Libya. Europe, Asia, Africa are parts of the Old World. The remaining continents and the oceans and seas separating them had yet to be discovered by people. And also to discover and map the correct borders of Europe, Asia and Africa, which we see on the modern map.

Relief of the Earth

The depth of the seas and oceans is not the same. If it is small, less than 200 m, then on the map we see a pale blue color. The greater the depth, the darker the blue tint. Red arrows in the oceans show warm currents, and blue arrows show cold currents. Water in currents moves like a river flow and is either warmer or colder than the surrounding calm water. These meandering lines on land show rivers, spots -
