Three stages in creating a modern political map

The image of the planet that appears before us today is the result of long-term changes. The political-geographical map was formed over decades, and its process consisted of three stages:

  • The end of World War 1, which marked the beginning of the founding of the RSFSR (later the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics), Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire
  • The end of World War 2: Germany broke up into the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany, the creation socialist republic Cuba, the appearance of other countries in Oceania, Africa, Latin America and Asia
  • 1991 - collapse of the USSR

At the third stage, after the split Soviet Union, many countries joined the CIS. Since the end of 1990, the Federal Democratic Republic and the German Democratic Republic have reunited into a single Germany, Czechoslovakia has broken up into the Czech and Slovak Republics, and Hong Kong has returned to the People's Republic of China, which previously belonged to Great Britain.

Satellite maps from Google are popular. This is a convenient and practical tool that allows you to view the planet at any scale. The satellite image reveals details: small streets and alleys near the house, cities, countries and continents. This became possible thanks to satellite imagery.
Earlier to receive pictures from space filming was used with a television camera with a signal transmitted to the station or filming with a special photographic camera, the images of which were displayed on film. Today, modern space technologies make it possible to look at the planet thanks to the scanning mechanism built into satellites.

Satellite Map: Applications and Purposes

Currently, real-time satellite world map is used in many fields: analyzing the state of agricultural fields, forests, oceans and identifying the location of friends using a smartphone. Google satellite map is used for these resources.
Main purpose of use satellite images the world navigation remains from Google. The website features a world diagram showing continents, states, cities, streets and highways. This helps you navigate the area, appreciate its landscape, and simply travel around the Earth without leaving your home.

Quality of online world map images from satellite

Highest resolution images available for everyone big cities Ukraine, America, Russia, Belarus, Asia, Europe and Oceania with a population of more than a million people. For settlements with fewer inhabitants, images are available in limited quantities and of poorer quality.
Despite this, everyone can take a detailed look at the territory of their home, nearby streets, and look at photos of the planet from almost any point. The pictures reveal the placement:

  • cities, towns, villages,
  • streets, alleys
  • rivers, seas, lakes, forest zones, deserts, etc.

Good quality cartographic images allow you to examine the landscape of the selected area in detail.

Google map capabilities from satellite:

Google satellite maps help you see things in detail that are difficult to assess on regular charts. Satellite images are saved natural shape object, its size and colors. Ordinary, classic maps undergo editorial elaboration before printing and circulation to match the scale, as a result of which the natural colors of the area and shapes of objects are lost. The cartographic images retain their naturalness.
In addition, you can quickly find the city of interest in any country on the map. The diagram has a column in which you can indicate the country, city, and even house number in Russian. In a second, the diagram will zoom in and display the location of the given object and those located next to it.

It helps to view the territory on the surface of the planet, get as close as possible to the selected object, and consider the layout of the location. This mode allows you to quickly and conveniently plan your trip route, move around the city, find attractions, etc.
By specifying the house number, the diagram will display its location relative to the city center in a second. It is also possible to plot a route from the initially specified object. To do this, click on the appropriate button and enter the address.

Physical map of the world allows you to see the relief of the earth's surface and the location of the main continents. The physical card gives general idea about the location of seas, oceans, complex terrain and elevation changes in different parts of the planet. On a physical map of the world, you can clearly see mountains, plains, and systems of ridges and highlands. Physical maps of the world are widely used in schools when studying geography, as they are basic for understanding the main natural features of different parts of the world.

Physical map of the world in Russian - relief

PHYSICAL MAP OF THE WORLD displays the surface of the Earth. The space of the earth's surface contains everything Natural resources and the wealth of humanity. The configuration of the earth's surface determines the entire course human history. Change the boundaries of the continents, stretch the direction of the main mountain ranges differently, change the direction of the rivers, remove this or that strait or bay, and the whole history of mankind will become different.

“What is the surface of the Earth? The concept of surface has the same meaning as the concept of geographical envelope and the concept of biosphere proposed by geochemists... The earth's surface is three-dimensional - three-dimensional, and by accepting the geographical envelope as a unique biosphere, we emphasize the paramount importance of living matter for geography. Geographical envelope ends where living matter ends.”

The great importance of the structure of continents for the fate of mankind is indisputable. The gap between the eastern and western hemispheres disappeared only 500 years ago with the voyages of the Spaniards and Portuguese to America. Before this, connections between the peoples of both hemispheres existed mainly only in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean.

The deep penetration of the northern continents into the Arctic has long made routes around their northern shores inaccessible. The close convergence of the three main oceans in the area of ​​the three Mediterranean seas created the possibility of connecting them with each other naturally (Strait of Malacca) or artificially (Suez Canal, Panama Canal). The chains of mountains and their location predetermined the movement of peoples. Vast plains led to the unification of people under one state will, strongly dissected spaces contributed to maintaining state fragmentation.

The dismemberment of America by rivers, lakes and mountains led to the formation of Indian peoples who, due to their isolation, could not resist the Europeans. Seas, continents, mountain ranges and rivers form natural boundaries between countries and peoples (F. Fatzel, 1909).

A world map is, in fact, a spread of a globe - a model of our planet Earth. Accordingly, the image reflects the objective reality given to us, in sensations. Politically charged territories, the contours of which can be observed through a camera attached to an orbital station.

For ease of finding coordinates, the world map is usually divided into parallels and meridians.
Since the planet has the shape of a geoid - slightly flattened at the poles, the meridian is 40008.6 km long, and the equator is 40075.7 km long.
The surface of the planet has 510100000 square meters. km. Sushi - 149,000,000, and water - 361,000,000 sq. km. Round numbers give rise to thoughts of miracle, eternity and divine providence... however, everything is much more prosaic - a meter is one forty millionth of the Parisian meridian. Here is the result of all the roundness.

The planet's landmass is divided into several well-known continents; it is worth clarifying that Eurasia is a separate continent, otherwise, to the point of gray hair, many people hold Europe as separate, whereas it is just “part of the world.”
Four oceans, an even simpler thing. You can ask any child which tourist forgot. The deepest ocean is the Pacific. Record depth is created for him by the legendary Mariana Trench... no, not a depression - worse, a trench descending to a depth of 11,022 meters. All the powers of the world, as well as chemical and bacteriological weapons, dumped radioactive waste there for many decades. So the real hell is wet and it's there.
Now more cheerful - the highest part of the Earth is a high stone peak in the Himalayas. Everest or Chomolungma, whichever you prefer, is 8848 meters high. But after the legless invalid Mark Inglis conquered it, the mountain shredded. For healthy people it became an ordinary event.
The most big lake– Caspian. It’s so big that it’s long since been forgotten that the lake is called a sea. Well, that’s what they wanted – 371,000 kilometers. You need a patch the size of one and a half England to close such a hole in the surface.
The largest island is Greenland. 2,176,000, could take an example from the Caspian and call itself a continent. But it’s too stupid - almost all under a layer of ice. It belongs to Denmark, so if it thaws, the size of the Viking state will increase dramatically.
