Discover UK, Germany, & Russia! Geography, climate, population maps & more.

Climate map of the United Kingdom Using the climate map of the U.K. above, where would be the BEST place to live in the United Kingdom? In the northern region in the country. In the central region of the country. In the southern region of the country. In the western region of the country (near the island of Ireland). Use the word bank to complete the information about Russia. Russia is the largestcountry in the world. It is so large that is covers two continents. The Ural Mountains divide Russia into two parts: Asian Russia and EuropeanRussia. Most of the people that live in Russia live in the westbecause the climate is more comfortable and there are more job opportunities, such as farming. Another reason most Russians live in this area is because it is the region closest to the rest of Europe which allows for easier access to trade. The north and east regions of Russia, known as Siberia, have very harshclimates with temperatures ranging from -40 degrees in the winter and over 90 degrees in the summer. As a result, it is very hard for people to live in this region permanently. Unfortunately, many of Russia's natural resourcessuch as timber and petroleum are found in Siberia under the permafrost, or ground that is mostly frozen. The only way to transport goods across Russia's vast landscape is by trainand this is very expensive. Overall, Russia could be a great place to live but only in certain areas. Which of the following factors most impact where people live and why? access to water types of food available what type of money the country uses the color of the country's flag favorable climates access to natural resources True or False: The Rhine River is an important trading route for Germany and much of western Europe. True False United Kingdom a hub for trade in Europe and the rest of the world because of its location on the Atlantic Ocean major industries include banking, insurance, and other service jobs 90% of the population live in cities like the capital of London factory jobs are declining due to the rapid use of the natural resources and the rise of air pollution lots of coastline which allows for many ports to trade from Germany centrally located on the European Plain 33% of the land is arable which provides lots of jobs in agriculture most people live in cities such as the capital of Berlin large deposits of minerals such as nickel and iron fuel the major industries access to the Rhine River allows for easy trade throughout Europe and the world Russia widespread permafrost makes extracting natural resources difficult extremely cold temperatures in the north prevent many people from living in that area most of the population lives west of the Ural Mountains lack of access to water makes trade difficult most trade happens via train due to the size of the country and extreme climates Answer the multiple choice question below using the population density map of Germany. Based on the map above, which statement is MOST LIKELY true? The climate in northern Germany is warm and receives abundant rainfall. Many of Germany's industries are located in western Germany. Most of Germany's population lives in the east. The Rhine River flows mainly through northern Germany. Much of eastern Russia (Siberia) is covered in permafrost which makes using the vast resources in the area difficult. Which of the following is the best definition of permafrost? frozen land oil fields large urban areas major body of water Use population density map of Russia to answer the question below. Using the population density map of Russia above, explain the factors that have led to the population being concentrated in the west.
