Ural Mountains

Slide 2

Ural

The Urals is a unique geographical region along which the border of two parts of the world passes - Europe and Asia. Several dozen monuments and memorial signs have been installed along this border for more than two thousand kilometers.

Slide 3

Interestingly, the term “Ural” did not exist until the 18th century. We owe the appearance of this name to Vasily Tatishchev. Until this moment, only Russia and Siberia existed in the minds of the country’s residents. The Urals were then classified as Siberia.

Where did the toponym “Ural” come from? There are several versions on this matter, but the most likely is that the word “Ural” came from the Bashkir language. Of all the peoples living in this territory, only the Bashkirs from ancient times used the word “Ural” (“belt”).

Slide 4

The region is based on the Ural mountain system. The Ural Mountains stretch for more than 2,500 km - from the cold waters of the Arctic Ocean to the deserts of Kazakhstan.

Slide 5

Geographers divided the Ural Mountains into five geographical zones: Polar, Subpolar, Northern, Middle and Southern Urals. The highest mountains in the Subpolar Urals. Here, in the Subpolar Urals, is the highest mountain of the Urals - Mount Narodnaya.

    Polar Urals

    Polar Ural is a mountainous region in the north of Eurasia, on the territory of Russia, the northernmost part of the Ural Mountains. The northern border of the region is considered to be Mount Constantine Stone, and the region is separated from the Subpolar Urals by the Khulga River. Area - about 25,000 km².

    Southern Urals

    Southern Ural is the widest southern part of the Ural Mountains. The mountains of the Southern Urals represent the remnants of an old mountain system, which, along with the entire territory of the modern Chelyabinsk region, covered a significant adjacent part of modern Bashkortostan and the territories to the east of the region. Even earlier, apparently, there was an ancient ocean in this place.


    Natural complex URAL


    • In ancient sources, the Ural Mountains are called the Riphean or Hyperborean Mountains.
    • Russian pioneers called it Stone; under the name Ural, these mountains were first mentioned in Russian sources at the end of the 17th century.
    • The name Ural was introduced by V. Tatishchev from the Mansi “ur” (mountain). According to another version, this word is of Turkic origin.

    1 million km². Length more than 2000 km, width from 40 km in the north to 150 km in the south. Start with o. Vaygach, stretch along the 60th parallel, pass into the Guberlinsky mountains, the Mugodzhary mountains, and end at the shore of the Aral Sea with the General Syrt plateau and the Turgai plateau. The border between Europe and Asia passes through the Urals. The mountains have a barrier position relative to the western transport of air masses. "width="640"

    Geographical position

    • The mountains are located between the East European and West Siberian plains, S 1 million km².
    • Length more than 2000 km, width from 40 km in the north to 150 km in the south.
    • Start with o. Vaygach, stretch along the 60th parallel, pass into the Guberlinsky mountains, the Mugodzhary mountains, and end at the shore of the Aral Sea with the General Syrt plateau and the Turgai plateau.
    • The border between Europe and Asia passes through the Urals.
    • The mountains have a barrier position relative to the western transport of air masses.

    Relief: mountainous

    • The Ural Mountains are lower than other mountains in Russia.
    • The maximum point is Narodnaya (1895 m), the minimum point is at

    passes – 500 m.

    • The Urals consists of parallel flat-topped ridges separated by longitudinal and transverse valleys.

    Orographic scheme

    • The Ural Mountains have an asymmetrical structure: the western slope is gentle, the eastern slope is steep.
    • The central part is narrow and has the greatest heights.

    Tectonic structure

    1- formation of mountains in the late Paleozoic during the era of intense mountain building (Hercynian folding);

    2- series of faults in the Mesozoic;

    3 – neotectonic movements in the Cenozoic, the formation of modern folded block mountains.

    Three major geological stages in history:


    200: emerald, amethyst, aquamarine, jasper, rhodonite, malachite, etc.), jewelry diamonds. "width="640"

    Minerals

    • There are 48 types of minerals in the Ural Mountains.
    • The main ones are: copper, iron, nickel and chromite ores, gold, platinum, bauxite, asbestos, oil and gas, potassium salts.
    • The Urals are especially famous for their “gems” - precious, semi-precious and ornamental stones ( 200: emerald, amethyst, aquamarine, jasper, rhodonite, malachite, etc.), jewelry diamonds.

    Climate of the Urals

    • influence of western cyclones;
    • orographic precipitation mild winter in the west;
    • minimal quantities and cold, partly cloudy weather in the east;
    • sharp cold snap in winter from the north;
    • droughts in summer in the south.

    Climate-forming factors:

    • westerly air transport;
    • proximity to the Arctic Ocean;
    • great elongation from north to south.

    Inland waters

    • The Ural is a watershed between the rivers of Europe and Asia. The main watershed is shifted to the east, so the rivers on the western slope are longer.
    • Here are the sources of many rivers: the Pechora, Kama, Ural, tributaries of the Ob. The most beautiful river is Chusovaya.
    • There are many rapids with gorges.
    • Underground waters created beautiful caves - Kungurskaya, Divya, Medvezhya, Skaz, Smolinskaya, Druzhba.
    • There are more than 6 thousand lakes, mostly tectonic.

    Natural-territorial complexes of the Urals

    • In terms of the diversity of natural zones, the Urals are similar to the East European Plain, but the boundaries of natural zones are shifted to the south; Due to the low height of the mountains, altitudinal zonation is poorly expressed.

Later, various jewelry and talismans began to be carved from jasper. In Eastern countries, jasper was considered a symbol of beauty, grace and wealth. In Ancient Greece, the stone served as a talisman against the evil eye for young mothers and babies. Hippocrates treated fever and epilepsy with jasper. With the spread of Christianity, it was believed that jasper consecrated in the church had magical properties. A.S.

    Geographical position.

    The Ural Mountains stretch from the coast of the Arctic Kara Sea to the steppes of Kazakhstan. The length of the Ural Mountains from south to north is 2 thousand kilometers, and from west to east from 50 to 150 kilometers. In ancient times, the Ural mountains were called Riphean, and until the 18th century “stone belt” (translated from Turkic “Ural” means belt). The Urals have long been considered a natural border separating two parts of the world - Europe and Asia. The Ural Mountains are relatively low: only a few peaks reach a height of 1.5 thousand meters above sea level, and the highest of them (Mount Narodnaya) is 1895 meters.

    Slide 8

    The Ural Mountains are located between different tectonic structures (Russian Platform and West Siberian Plate), which explains their formation. The Urals are separated from the Russian Platform by the Pre-Ural trough, consisting of sedimentary rocks (clay, sand, gypsum, limestone). The Ural Mountains were formed during the Paleozoic period, but in the Mesozoic they were almost completely destroyed. Certain parts of the Urals rose during the Neogene. But these folded-block Ural Mountains were also destroyed as a result of the influence of external forces (weathering and erosion).

    Parts of the Urals.

  • Slide 10

    Polar Urals

    The northernmost part of the Urals consists of rocky placers (rocks and outcrops). The flora and fauna are quite scarce. Even mosses and lichens do not create a continuous cover. The most significant peaks are the mountains: Payer (1472 meters) and Konstantinov Kamen (492 meters).

    Slide 11

    SubpolarUral

    This part of the Urals is characterized by the highest ridge heights. Here traces of glaciation are visible quite clearly. Even the names of the mountains speak volumes about their pointed peaks (Blade Peak, Saber Mountain). The highest point of the Ural Mountains (Mount Narodnaya) is also located here. Stone peaks and mountain tundra in the lower part of the slope are replaced by taiga. The southern border of this part of the Urals is located at 64º north latitude.

    Mount Saber

    Slide 13

    Northern Urals

    The mountains here take on the character of a real ridge, quite high, rocky and completely treeless. To the south its slopes are covered with forest. The average height of the Northern Urals is about 900 meters. Numerous rivers originate on its slopes, forming tributaries of the Pechora and Kama in the west, and the Ob in the east.

    Climate.

    Despite its rather small height, the Ural Mountains have a fairly significant influence on climatic conditions. They are the boundary between different climatic zones: the temperate continental climate of the East European Plain and the continental climate of Western Siberia. Atlantic air masses reach the western slope of the Urals, trying to overcome it, rise higher and cool. As a result, more precipitation falls in the western part of the Urals than in the eastern part (about 1.5-2 times). The temperature regime also has its own characteristics. In the western part of the Urals, winter is snowier and, accordingly, milder. In the east there is less snow, and frosts reach 45-50 ºС.

    Oslyanka, the highest peak of the Middle Urals. Height 1119 m. There are two versions of the origin of the name of the mountain. The name of the river is Oslyanka, from the ancient Russian word “ass” - a whetstone, a river sharpening stone. The shape of the mountain, from the word “oslyad” or “osledina” - log. The mountain extends meridionally for 16 km. The ridge is leveled, mostly wide; in places narrow, steep, rocky. Has several peaks; the main one is located in the central part of the mountain, shifted to the eastern slope, and has a cone-shaped shape. The slopes are steep; The northern and eastern slopes have the greatest steepness. In the northern half of the mountain there are rocky outcrops and weathering remains. The slopes are covered with kurums; Mountain terraces are developed on the ridge. Avalanches have been observed. It is composed of quartz and pale-spar-quartz quartzite-sandstones of Upper Proterozoic age. Located in the northeast of the Kizelovsky district of the Perm Territory; in the axial part of the Middle Urals, north of the Basegi ridge, east-southeast of the Nyarovsky Kamen mountain.
