  1. Lesson 33 Resources and Land Use Ms. SolesSocial Studies: Europe and Russia

  2. Let's take the long way to Europe today!Google Earth

  3. 6.2 Factors that influence distribution of population, resources, and climate. Lesson Goal:

  4. 6.3 How people have used their environments. 6.5 How the location of natural resources affects economic development. Lesson Goal:

  5. According to Webster's Dictionary: “A reserve or source of supply or support.” What are Resources?

  6. Let's think about what some resources, (supplies/support), people in Europe could use in their individual daily lives, or those necessary for cities or countries, to develop and grow. Hmmmmm....

  7. Renewable Resources: Resources that will not be used up, those that can be replaced by Earth's natural processes. One Kind of Natural Resource

  8. Renewable ResourceSolar Power

  9. Renewable ResourceWind Power

  10. Renewable ResourceMoving water

  11. Hydroelectric Power on the Danube River

  12. Nonrenewable Resource: Resources that cannot be replaced by natural processes, or, are replaced VERY slowly. They are used up. Second kind of Natural Resource:

  13. 1st Fossil fuel: Oil/Petroleum

  14. World Oil/Petroleum Production

  15. World's Highest Consumers of Oil

  16. 2nd Fossil Fuel:Coal

  17. 3rd Fossil Fuel: Natural GasWorld Production

  18. Drilling for Natural Gas

  19. Why is fertile soil considered a valuable natural resource for Europe and Russia? Another Natural Resource: Fertile Soil

  20. Soil is necessary to grow much of our food. The Western part of Europe is covered with very fertile, rich soil. Soil: Earth's Most Important Natural Resource

  21. Loess is a kind of rich, dustlike soil. The North European Plain has this type of soil, having been formed over thousands of years, as winds have deposited it. This fertile soil, plenty of rain, and rather moderate temperatures, provide good conditions for agriculture/farming. Loess

  22. Farmlands

  23. France: Leading Agricultural Exporter for EuropeGrapes

  24. Cereals

  25. Market Gardening

  26. Root Crops

  27. Based on this lesson's information gathered, what would be factors affecting distribution of resources? Review and Reflect

  28. The Physical Geography Climate The Level the Country Is Developed, (Technology) Factors

  29. How have the people of Europe used their environment? Review and Reflect

  30. Farming Gathering Food from Bodies of Water Use of Renewable Resources: water, wind, sun Use of Nonrenewable resources: fossil fuels and minerals Some of Europe's Uses of Environment

  31. How does the location of naturalresources affect economic development? Review and Reflect

  32. Western Europe is one of the world's wealthiest regions and is high in economic development. This is closely related to it's rich and varied supply of natural resources: fertile soil, water, and fossil fuels. Location of Natural Resources' Effect

  33. Russia has an even greater supply of natural resources, however, a very harsh climate, it's huge size, and very few rivers that can be traveled much of the year, prevents use of them to become so wealthy and developed. Another problem is that a small percentage of the land is not good for farming. Location of Natural Resources' Effect
