Seismic belts of the Earth are formed: At the boundaries of the collision of lithospheric plates; At the boundaries of collisions and ruptures of lithospheric plates; In the area with the highest speed of movement of lithospheric plates. What data does the climate map contain? Air temperature and precipitation data; Data on atmospheric pressure and winds; All answers are correct. What is the name of the line connecting points with the same temperatures on the map? Isotherm; Isobar; Isochronous; Isohypsum. What primarily influences the formation of various belts of atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface? Relief; Uneven distribution of solar heat depending on latitude; Uneven heating of the ocean and land; Rotation of the Earth. Which of the following processes is not a manifestation of internal forces? The process of absorption of solar energy by the Earth; The process of movement of lithospheric plates; The process of introducing the mantle into the earth's crust; Shaking process crust... The activated parts of the earth's crust include: Platforms; Areas of new folding (young mountains); Areas of ancient folding (old mountains). If the relief of the territory is flat, then mainly there are: Folded area; Platform. Define the type of climate according to the description: Atmosphere pressure... As a consequence high position Suns over the horizon are here all year high temperatures air. Due to the prevalence of upward currents in this climate, a large amount of precipitation falls throughout the year. On which continents is this type of climate represented?

The African leopard is the largest leopard subspecies. Its body is long, its skull is broad, and its legs are rather short. The coat, somewhat identical to that of the jaguar, has darker rosettes, smaller and more numerous, and therefore more dense. The color, shape and size of the rosettes vary depending on the subspecies. Fur will also be paler in desert populations, grayer for colder regions, and orange-yellow for people in tropical regions. The lower body coat is generally lighter.

It is the largest and most common of the leopard subspecies, it can weigh up to 90kg for big bucks, for a body size of 1.90m, to which a good meter of tail needs to be added. Females are generally 40% less. They are found mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and the western Kalahari Desert in Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya, where they are relatively common. This species is nearly extinct in North Africa, where it was once seen in the High Atlas Mountains. Its habitat ranges from savanna to forest, not to mention the mountainous or desert regions of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia and the swamps of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

What determines the salinity of ocean waters? Give at least two reasons.

Answer:________________________________________________________

The area of ​​Africa is a) 30.3 thousand km2

b) 30.3 million km2

c) 303 million km2

Extreme north point mainland is Cape a) Ras Khafun

b) Ras-Engela

c) Almadi

Most of Africa is located between a) the equator and the northern tropic b) the equator and the southern tropic c) the northern and southern tropics Crossed South Africa from west to east, explored the Zambezi River a) Vasco da Gama

Size differences are significant for different regions so in Southern province Cape in South Africa, the average weight of an animal does not exceed 30 kilograms, and in national park Kruger, still in South Africa, with an average weight of 60 kilograms. However, the lack of information and data on the leopard does not confirm that the largest specimens are South African, the largest leopards are in Algeria, northern Congo, southern Sudan, coastal forests West Africa, central Gabon and the Kenyan rift forest region, namely Aberdares and Mount Kenya.

b) David Livingston

c) N.I. Vavilov

The Atlas Mountains are located a) on an ancient platform b) in an area of ​​new folding

c) in the area of ​​ancient folding

The relief of Africa is dominated by a) lowlands

b) hills and plateaus

The highest peak in Africa a) Kenya

b) Toubkal

c) Kilimanjaro city

The highest temperature on Earth (+ 58 ° C) was recorded in a) Tripoli

These assumptions are based on measurements of the skull. In northeastern Congo, 7 males were measured and their skulls averaged 261 mm and two samples were 279 mm and 282 mm, respectively. More impressively, 3 specimens from the coast of Gabon averaged 274 mm with the largest at 282 mm, this information can be toned down by the fact that the specimen is small, but the measurements are impressive as they compare images of the jaguar Pantanal, which averages 2 mm in skull size and 282 mm in mato grosso.

Knowing that the Pantanal jaguar weighs an average of 100 kilograms, one cannot help but believe that leopards with the same measurements can also reach an impressive weight of about 90 kilograms. By comparison, the most famous leopards, South Africans and East Africans, have a skull that measures 230 mm on average, 260 mm for the largest.

in Algeria

The formation of the Namib coastal desert is associated with a) mountainous relief on the coast b) with the influence of Antarctica

c) with a cold Benguela current

The most long river Africa a) Congo

The longest freshwater lake in the world a) Victoria

c) Tanganyika

Natural zone occupying 40% of the mainland area a) equatorial forests

According to the Rowland Chamber, leopards in mountainous areas East Africa measures an average of 260 mm on a skull with a sample of 286 mm, which is higher than the average size of the largest subspecies of the jaguar. The behavior of the African leopard. It is a prominent climber who often observes alone on large branches during the day. He can lower his head. In savannah conditions, it is an animal that hunts at dusk or dawn. But his behavior is likely to change depending on environment... He leads a solitary life from mating.

On the African continent, the leopard must cohabit with other predators such as the lion, lycaons and hyena. This period begins at the end of the Tertiary era about 7 million years ago. This is the beginning of the Hominids and the branches that will lead to Human: Tumai, Orrorin are currently contenders for the title of oldest known ancestor. These early hominids still live partly in trees, but bipedalism is already being used as a means of transportation. Omnipotent, they feed on fruits, leaves, plants, small animals, and probably practice charring.

b) savannah

c) deserts

Most changed economic activities human a) desert

b) equatorial forests

c) savannah

No instruments from this period have been found. They were then the contemporaries of the first Men. Feature site: Afar Deposits. The first prehistory tools seem to be ineffective. Prehistoric man "only" separated one or two chips on a pebble found in the gorges of Olduvai, Tanzania, Leakey. There are no human remains in the Oldway industry. Feature site: Omo deposits. Read more about Oldoweyen. All these people, of course, are two-legged. This branch is characterized by more elongated biphages, the tip of which is thin and the base is convex.

It is for this reason that most of the lithium mining industries are attributed. This culture is characterized by work on retouched stone chips. Scrapers and spikes are the most common tools, but the bits are still present. The Levallois method is the most difficult technique.
