Minerals of the Chelyabinsk Region presentation for a lesson on the world around (Grade 4) on the topic. The wealth of the stone belt minerals of the Urals Presentation on the topic minerals of the Urals




Among the natural resources of the Urals, a prominent role belongs, of course, to the wealth of its bowels. Among the minerals, deposits of ore raw materials are of the greatest importance, however, many of them have been discovered for a long time and have been exploited for a long time, therefore they are largely depleted.










The most "mineral" place in this area is Ilmeny, where more than 260 minerals and 70 rocks have been found. About 20 minerals were discovered here for the first time in the world. There are such precious stones as: sapphire, ruby, diamond, etc., semi-precious stones: amethyst, opal, topaz, granite, malachite, sun, moon and Arabic stone, rock crystal, etc.


Emerald (or green stone) is one of the most famous gemstones, it has been known since ancient times and was used as an ornament. Emeralds were found on the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains near the Tokovaya River. The deposit was accidentally found by a peasant in 1830, noticing several green stones among the roots of a fallen tree.



Description of the presentation WEALTH OF THE STONE BELT MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE URALS slides

MINERALS OF THE URALS Minerals of the Urals are really the treasures of our entire country, because out of one hundred and five elements of the famous periodic table, about fifty are mined in the Urals. In Soviet times, most of all scientific and intelligence associations were located in this part of our country. This is due to the fact that the maximum number of useful elements that are necessary for the life of modern society and the country as a whole are concentrated here. Of all the minerals mined here, the most important place is occupied by:

METALLIC MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE URALS (ORES OF NON-FERROUS METALS) The Middle Urals is rich in ores of non-ferrous, precious and rare metals. Deposits of copper pyrite ore are located in Krasnouralsk, Kirovograd, Degtyarsk. Copper ores formed during the introduction of granites are mined in Nizhny Tagil (Mednorudnyanskoye deposit), near Polevskoy (Gumeshevskoye deposit). Complex copper ores are mined in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. There are many deposits of rare metals in the Middle Urals: gold (Berezovskoye deposit, the valleys of the Tura, Salda, Tagil rivers), platinum (the valleys of the Lobva, Kosya, Tagil rivers). In the Urals, platinum nuggets weighing more than 10 kg were found. In Soviet times, aluminum ores, bauxite, were discovered in the Urals.

In our country, large platinum nuggets are found in the Urals. It was here that the largest platinum nuggets in the world were found. Unfortunately, the largest one (weighing about 9.5 kg) has not been preserved (it was melted down), and the second largest - "Unique" (weighing 8.395 kg) is currently stored in the Kremlin Diamond Fund. 1 gram of platinum \u003d 1881, 14 rubles. Platinum

GOLD In Russia, the most famous gold nuggets were found in the Urals. The largest gold nugget found in Russia - the "Big Triangle" - was found near the city of Miass in 1842. This famous nugget weighed about 36 kilograms. Gold (Au) = 2,301.46 rubles / g Dollar ($) - 60, 16 rubles. 47.6% of the total gold reserves in the Ural Federal District are concentrated in the Sverdlovsk Region, including 63.5% in primary deposits, 23.4% in complex deposits, 75.8% in placers. The total gold production in the Sverdlovsk region is about 11 tons of gold annually (including 8.3 tons from own deposits and placers).

SILVER Silver ore as such is almost non-existent in the Urals. So, how is silver mined in those deposits? The bulk of this noble metal is produced from pyrite ore. It also contains: indium, zinc, gallium, cadmium, scandium, germanium, as well as noble metals: gold and silver. It is possible to determine the content of elements in pyrite ore only after processing. And deposits of silver ore are as easy to determine as cleaning silver with ammonia: a swab dipped in this substance will make the noble element shine. Uzelginskoye (Chelyabinsk region) Copper pyrite - 46.1 tons per year 1 gram = 32.7 rubles

URAL EMERALD Each emerald deposit is unique, which is primarily due to different geological processes of formation. The Mariinsky deposit is the only one in Russia; Ural emeralds are considered among the best in the world.

ALEXANDER Perhaps the rarest gemstone. Alexandrite is a kind of mineral chrysoberyl, the stone has unique property change its color depending on the wavelength (lighting) the color can be bluish-green or crimson-red. Ural alexandrite is still considered the best in the world due to the unsurpassed property of pleochroism (color change), none of the precious stones can boast of such a wonderful property. The first alexandrite in the Urals was found in 1834, this mineral was named in honor of Emperor Alexander 2. Chrysoberyl, which does not have pleochroism (color change effect), cannot be classified as alexandrite. Ural alexandrites are rare. The price of alexandrites on the world market can reach fabulous figures up to 100 thousand dollars and more per 1 carat.

AMETHYST Amethyst. The Ural gem, according to experts, has no rivals on the international market. Amethysts from other deposits, when lighting is changed to artificial, lose their play, beauty and richness of tone, while the precious stones of the Urals retain their brilliance, and the stones found near Sanarka or Murzinka light up with red reflections.

DEMANTOID Demantoid. Large deposits are developed only in the Middle Urals. The Karkodinskoye deposit is the largest supplier of the mineral to the world market. Demantoid is a precious stone, which is one of the varieties of garnet. In nature, there are instances of honey, golden yellow, swamp and emerald green shades. Thanks to its beautiful play of light, it is compared to diamonds. Even the name "demantoid" itself comes from the German "diamant" - "diamond" and the ancient Greek "eidos" - look, appearance, similar. That is, literally "diamond" is translated as "like a diamond". 1 carat = $3,100 Weight: 2.92 carats

At the lesson, students consider the geographical location of the Urals. They study the main factors of the geographical position of the Urals. Then, using the maps of the atlas, students determine the geographical position of the Ural Mountains.

After that, students get acquainted with the geological profile of the Ural Mountains and the rocks that make up the mountains.

Then, a diagram of the Ural Mountains is considered with a demonstration of photographs of each orographic unit of mountains.

In the presentation, students will learn information about one of the major rivers of the Urals - the Chusovaya River.

the issue of the minerals of the Urals is separately disclosed, since the Ural Mountains are a pantry of mineral reserves in Russia.

At the end of the lesson, it is proposed to consider the environmental problems of mountains.

The severe beauty of this river is given by rocks up to 100 m high. The banks of the Chusovaya with numerous cliffs and caves are a kind of chronicle of the Urals. Traces of sacrifices of ancient hunters have been preserved in the caves. According to legend, the squad of the legendary conqueror of the Kuchumov kingdom wintered in the cave of Yermak's Stone.

Minerals and rocks are protected here: precious and ornamental stones. There are more than 200 minerals in the reserve. There are rare ones that have not yet been found in any mountains in the world.

Slide 28Kungur Ice Cave One of the largest caves in Russia. Located near Kungur on the right bank of the Sylva river. The ice mountain is composed of soluble water rocks: limestone, gypsum, dolomite, anhydride. The Kungur cave is the result of the dissolution of rocks (karst) by water. The cave consists of grottoes located on four tiers. The length of 58 grottoes and passages is about 5 km
Slide 29 Environmental problems of the Urals
Slide 30Ural has long been mastered. This is a large industrial region of Russia. There are especially many cities in the Middle and South Urals. Often the distance between cities is 5-10 km. In the cities of the Urals there are "dirty" industries: metallurgical and chemical enterprises. In cities, there is high smoky air (smog, acid rain), heavy metals accumulate in the soil, and rivers and lakes are polluted with industrial effluents. Deforestation, mining (quarries, dumps) have worsened the quality of the landscapes of the Urals. Valuable conifers trees. In the Chelyabinsk and Orenburg regions, radioactive contamination is the result of nuclear weapons tests.
