Animals of Great Britain. Large animals such as wild boar, bear, and Irish deer have long been exterminated in the British Isles due to frequent hunting, and the wolf has been destroyed as a pest. Now only 56 types of mammals remain. The largest mammal is the red deer, which lives in the highlands of Scotland and Cornwall. Fish. Different types of fish live in the waters of the British Isles: in sea waters - herring, sable fish, sprat are found in bays and estuaries, and mackerel and sardines appear in Kirkwall Bay. The most important commercial fish of distant and near waters are cod, haddock and whiting. - Animals of Great Britain.ppt

Learning English involves not only memorizing and using verbal and grammatical structures in speech, but also mastering certain regional studies material. This includes cultural and geographical features of the countries of the language being studied, holidays, traditions, famous figures, writers and much more.

Regional studies, as a rule, begins with the study of general data about the country, in the case of the English language - of course, Great Britain. At the same time, it’s a good idea to use all the main channels for transmitting information. You can watch a film or presentation about Great Britain, listen to a recording that shows the peculiarities of British pronunciation, or do a project on the main attractions of the country.

To help parents and teachers, I have collected several options for presentations on the topic “Great Britain”. Choose any one that meets your goals and requirements.

Option 1

This presentation talks about the regional division of the country, its components, their flags and emblems, capitals, and geography. London and its main attractions are also described. Well chosen pictures.

Option 2

This presentation contains information about the territory and population of the country, administrative divisions, politics, and economics. There are slides about famous cultural figures: The Beatles, Arthur Conan Doyle.

You can download this presentation from here. Format: PDF.

Option 3

It tells about geography, administrative divisions, government, parliament, the queen, etc. At the end there is a test for mastering the material. This presentation is slightly inferior in quality to the previous two; there are small gaps in the slides. However, if you are compiling material from different sources, then this presentation can be used.

Geography of the United Kingdom

Slide 3

Geography location

The United Kingdom occupies a substantial part of the British Isles.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or UK, is in Western Europe. It comprises the island of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and the northeastern one-sixth of the island of Ireland (Northern Ireland), together with many smaller islands. The mainland areas lie between latitudes 49°N and 59°N (the Shetland Islands reach to nearly 61°N), and longitudes 8°W to 2°E. The Royal Greenwich Observatory, near London, is the defining point of the Prime Meridian. The United Kingdom has a total area of ​​approximately 245,000 km².

The UK lies between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, and comes within 35 km (22 miles) of the northwest coast of France, from which it is separated by the English Channel. Northern Ireland shares a 360 km international land boundary with the Republic of Ireland. The Channel Tunnel ("Chunnel") bored by the English Channel, now links the UK with France.

Slide 4

Geographical position

The geographical location of Great Britain is marked by the prime meridian, which passes through the international time zone at Greenwich east of London, 50°N in south-east England and 60°N in Shetland. Thus, Great Britain lies only 10° latitude, making it a very small country compared to some countries in Europe.

However, even in such a tiny area it retains a huge variety of landscapes and contrasting physical features that amaze tourists expecting to see an overpopulated and industrialized country. From any location you can easily and quickly access a wealth of stunning views and recreational areas, such as the ten National Parks in England and Wales and Areas of Natural Beauty in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The area of ​​Great Britain is approximately 240,842 sq. km. Most of it is land, and the rest is rivers and lakes. The area of ​​England is 129,634 square meters. km., Wales - 20637 sq. km., Scotland - 77179 sq. km. and Northern Ireland - 13438 sq. km. Thus, England is much larger than the other countries of the United Kingdom and has the largest population. These factors explain England's dominance in British history

Slide 5

Physical geography

The physical geography of the UK varies greatly. It includes the chalk cliffs of Kent and Dorset, the rolling hills and fields of southeast England, the granite cliffs of Cornwall, the mountains of Wales, the uplands of the Peak District and the Pennines, the lakes and mountains of Cumbria, the Scottish lowlands , highlands and islands, and the fields, lakes and mountains of Northern Ireland. The country can be roughly divided into highland and lowland along the Tees-Exe line.

The exact center of the island of Great Britain is disputed. Depending upon how it is calculated it can be either Haltwhistle in Northumberland, or Dunsop Bridge in Lancashire.

Slide 6

Physical geography

The distance from the south coast of England to the northernmost point of Scotland is 960 km, and between the east coast of England and the west coast of Wales is 480 km.

Over time, thanks to the movements of the earth's crust, mountain ranges rose from the bottom of the sea, which formed the oldest territories of Great Britain. Periods of warm subtropical weather were followed by new movements of the earth's crust, and huge swampy forests covered all the low-lying lands. The forests were buried under sand, soil and mud, so that the petrified forests became the coal of modern Britain. Later the climate changed from subtropical to arctic. During the Ice Age, almost the entire island was buried under ice, with the exception of southern England.

The mountains gradually eroded due to ice, water and winds. This process rounded mountain peaks and moved rocks into lowlands, where they were compressed into new mountains, resulting in a smoother, softer landscape. Geological and weather changes have determined the present appearance of valleys and plains, and also determined the location of the main rivers of Great Britain, such as the Clyde, Forth and Tweed in Scotland, the Tyne, Trent, Humber, Severn and Thames in England and Wales, and the Bann and Logan in Northern Ireland. .

Slide 7

Geology

The geology of the United Kingdom is varied and complex. This gives rise to the wide variety of landscapes found across the UK. This variety, coupled with the early efforts of UK based scientists and geologists to understand it, has influenced the naming of many geological concepts, including many of the geological periods (for example, the Ordovician period is named after the Ordovices, a people of early Britain; the Devonian period is named after the county of Devon in south-west England).

The oldest rocks in the UK are gneisses which date from at least 2,700 Ma ("Ma" means "millions of years ago") in the Archaean Period, which are found in the far north west of Scotland and in the Hebrides, with a few small outcrops elsewhere. South of the gneisses are a complex mixture of rocks forming the North West Highlands and Grampian Highlands in Scotland, as well as the Connemara, Donegal and Mayo mountains of northern Ireland. These are essentially the remains of folded sedimentary rock, deposited over the gneiss, from 1,000 Ma, with a notable 7 km thick layer of Torridon Sandstone being deposited about 800 Ma, as well as the debris deposited by an ice sheet 670 Ma.

Slide 15

Climate

The relatively small size of the country and the almost universal influence of warm seas and westerly winds mean that there are no extreme temperature contrasts throughout the UK. The climate is generally temperate, but with differences between cold and mild. Altitude affects temperature, so hills and mountains are colder than valleys. Thus, much of Scotland, as well as the rolling hills of Wales and England, are cooler in summer and colder in winter compared to the rest of England.

The main factors affecting UK rainfall levels are areas of low pressure that run east across the Atlantic Ocean, the prevailing south westerly winds throughout the year, the openness of the west coast to the Atlantic Ocean and the fact that much of the mountainous and hilly terrain is in the west of the country.

Slide 16

Economic geography

The economic geography of the UK reflects not only its current position in the global economy, but its long history both as a trading nation and an imperial power.

The UK led the industrial revolution and its highly urban character is a legacy of this, with all its major cities being current or former centers of all forms of manufacturing. However, this in turn was built on its exploitation of natural resources, especially coal and iron ore.

Primary industry

The UK's primary industry was once dominated by the coal industry, heavily concentrated in the north, the Midlands and south Wales. This is all but gone and the major primary industry is North Sea oil. Its activity is concentrated on the UK Continental Shelf to the north-east of Scotland.

Slide 17

Economical geography

Great Britain today is a country with a highly developed, strong and independent economy.

The working population makes up almost half of the UK's total population. Within this group, a small proportion of people are self-employed, while others are employed in the military sector and government. More than two-thirds of wage earners are employed in the service sector, with the largest number working in the financial sector. Manufacturing, although declining over the past half century, employs one-fifth of all workers. Smaller shares of hired workers are employed in construction, energy extraction industries, and agriculture. The number of part-time workers has increased significantly.

The most important industrial sectors are mechanical engineering, food industry (including the production of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages), tobacco and chemical industries, paper and printing industries, and light industry. The fastest growing industrial sectors were the chemical, forestry, furniture, rubber and plastics industries.

Slide 18

Natural resources

Historically, much of the United Kingdom was forested. Since prehistoric times, man has deforested much of the United Kingdom.

Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanised, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with only 1% of the labor force. It contributes around 2% of GDP. Around two thirds of production is devoted to livestock, one third to arable crops.

The UK has a variety of natural resources including:

Geological: coal, petroleum, natural gas, limestone, chalk, gypsum, silica, rock salt, china clay, iron ore, tin, silver, gold, lead.

Agricultural: arable land, wheat, barley, hill farms, sheep.

The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. Due to the island location of the UK, the country has great potential for generating electricity from wave power and tidal power, these although have not yet been exploited on a commercial basis.

Slide 19

Natural resources

There are not so many valuable natural resources in the UK. The once all-important iron ore production has now dropped to virtually nothing. Other economically important fossil ores include lead, whose extraction only supplies half of the economy's needs, and zinc. There are quite a lot of other resources, such as chalk, lime, clay, sand, gypsum.

The following resources are available in the UK:

Geological: coal, oil, natural gas, limestone, chalk and gypsum deposits, iron ores, etc.

Agricultural: wheat, barley, sheep breeding.

The discovery of oil deposits in the North Sea led to the rapid development of the oil industry. Since operations began in 1975, the amount of oil produced each year has increased every year, making the UK virtually self-sufficient in oil consumption, and even an oil exporter. With an average production level of 2.6 million barrels per day, the UK ranks sixth in the world as an oil producer. Oil reserves in Great Britain reach 770 million tons.
