Resources and the great diversity of climates

1- With the whole group

a) Explanation of the teacher, the great latitudinal development (north-south) of Latin America,
with predominance of quality zones and temperate zones...
b) Read carefully:
Natural resources are those elements provided by nature without human intervention
that can be used by man to satisfy his needs. In addition to natural resources, there are
also human resources , cultural resources , machinery, real estate, etc.

1) What are natural resources called?
2) What are the differences between renewable and non-renewable resources?

3) What is raw material?

4) Why are the natural characteristics of Latin America important?

a) Read the following information on "Climatic diversity": make a brief summary including the
characteristics of the climatic conditions of the region.
 Cold climates are located at higher latitudes and predominate in much of North America
and the southern tip of South America . Summers are very short and winters are very
harsh, with large thermal amplitudes (except in areas influenced by warm currents).

Latin American Climates

Reliefs in Latin America

a) We inquire about previous knowledge.

guide.

c) Explanation of the teacher, which reliefs are found in Latin America and which are the results of
different geological events, etc.
Massifs: the most ancient reliefs, undulating landscape with plateaus and hills...
Mountains: they are younger and higher reliefs than the massifs...
Plains: the youngest reliefs, their formation is due to the accumulation of
sediments transported by wind and water.
d) Look for information and read about "The diversity of reliefs" and "Latin American
environments".
South America, South America or South America (also called South America or South

a) Look at the physical map of Latin America and answer:
b) With what color is each of the relief shapes represented?
c) Do any occupy a larger area or are they evenly distributed?
d) Locate the Amazon River on a physical map and list the countries it flows through.
