    Description of the slide:

    Coastal desert (Costa) Highlands of the Andes (Sierra) Selva Tropical desert type of climate Climate dry and cool Average temperatures from 15 to 25 ° C Statistically annual rainfall - 50 mm In winter, the sky is constantly covered with clouds, coastal fogs are frequent In the mountains, the climate depends on the height of the area Average temperatures are from 8 to 11 ° C. On the open eastern slopes, the annual rainfall exceeds 2500 mm, in closed basins it is much less, amounting, for example, in Cusco, 810 mm. The rainy season lasts from November to March. Subequatorial type of climate The climate is humid, with a large amount of precipitation Average temperatures from 24 to 27 ° C The average annual rainfall in tropical forests is 3800 mm The rainy season lasts from May to September Costa. In the west of Peru, a tropical desert type of climate prevails, the Peruvian Current (Humboldt Current) passes along the western coast of the country, because of this, it is very dry and cool on the ocean coast. During the year, only 10 to 50 mm of precipitation falls here, but in some years it does not rain at all. There is practically no rain throughout the year, in Lima there is high humidity, in other places the climate is quite dry. Sea breezes keep the average temperature 6°C below the latitudinal norm. In winter (from June to October) the sky is constantly covered with clouds, coastal fogs are frequent. At this time of the year, the foothills of the Andes are shrouded in a damp haze, locally called "garua". Garua stimulates the growth of low grasses and forb ephemerals, which together make up a community called "loma" and used as pasture. Sierra. Climatic conditions and the vegetation cover of the mountains vary depending on the absolute height. Average temperatures drop by about 1.7°C every 450 m rise. Perpetual snow and glaciers cover the peaks above 5000 m a.s.l., and agriculture is possible up to 4400 m a.s.l. There are often frosts at night. The amount of precipitation falls rapidly to the south, which greatly affects the nature of the vegetation. In the north and east of the country, the middle part of the Andean slopes is covered with a dense subtropical mountain forest, which gradually gives way to a more temperate forest type with height, called ceja de la montaña (“eyebrow of the mountain”), or simply “seja”. Among its species, the cinchona tree, the source of quinine, is of the greatest value. In the south, the alpine vegetation is formed mainly by drought-resistant feather grass, short grasses and the resinous shrub lepidophyllum (this community is called "tola"). The bottom and lower parts of the slopes of dry closed valleys are occupied by cacti, thorny legumes and deciduous broad-leaved trees, while the upper part of the slopes is covered by "sekha". Selva. In the east - subequatorial, i.e. humid, with a lot of precipitation It is hot and humid in the selva all year round. AT summer time daytime temperatures reach 34 degrees Celsius, nighttime temperatures drop to +24 degrees. In winter, during the day, the air warms up to +30 degrees, and at night it cools down to 20 degrees. In the zone of humid tropical forests, the temperature is high all year round, and heavy rains fall. The natural vegetation is represented by high-stemmed tropical rainforest, under the canopy of which a dense shadow practically does not allow the ground layer to develop. Of the thousands of tree species, the largest economic importance have acajou (mahogany) and zedrel. Grasses grow on poorly drained areas, while stiff grasses and low shrubs grow on loose sandy soils and rocky slopes.

Soils Semi-deserts (puna) Soils are infertile Mountain-steppe soils Soils are poor in minerals Coastal desert (Costa) Highlands of the Andes (Sierra) Selva Soils of the Costa and the western slopes of the Andes are infertile. In the mountainous region in the north and east, mountain-steppe soils predominate, in the southeast - characteristic of semi-deserts. of the Costa region are scarce, on the western slopes of the Andes - rare shrubs and cacti. On the inner plateaus, in the north and east, there is a high-mountain tropical steppe (khalka) with mountain-steppe soils; in the southeast, semi-deserts (puna). On the eastern slopes of the Andes and the plains of the Selva there are moist evergreen forests with valuable tree species (rubber plants, cinchona, coca, etc.). the soil of the selva is extremely poor in minerals washed out by tropical rains

    Description of the slide:

    The main agricultural sectors The main crops of the coastal areas are rice, cotton and sugarcane, tobacco and fruits: guava, mango, papaya The main crops in the mountains are potatoes, corn, barley, cassava (cassava) and yams The main crops in the lower valleys parts of the eastern slopes of the Andes - coffee, beans, cocoa, tea, coca the most important industry Peruvian agriculture, which employs 3/5 active population countries. By tradition, products are divided into export and consumer. In Kosta, cotton and sugar cane crops are mainly concentrated. Cotton grown in Peru is a long-staple cotton that is highly valued on the world market. There are coffee plantations on the eastern slopes of the Andes and in some valleys of the Sierra. Citrus fruits, mangoes, strawberries and cocoa beans are of export importance. In addition, about 10,000 tons of coca leaf are harvested annually. The coca bush, from whose leaves cocaine is produced, is a crop traditionally cultivated by the American Indians. In the late 1970s, when coca began to be exported to Bolivia and Colombia in the form of either semi-finished paste or fully refined cocaine, coca cultivation became profitable. Peru's plantations provide two-thirds of the world's cocaine production, and the annual income from the cocaine business ranges from 600 to 800 million dollars. The most important consumer crops include rice, maize, cassava, yuca, potatoes, and wheat. Vegetable oil is made from cotton seeds Wild yam extract creams are known for their help in the treatment of several skin conditions such as yellow skin, psoriasis, eczema and conjunctiva. These creams are also good moisturizers.

It connects the capital with the mining centers of the Sierra and ends in the high mountain valley of the Mantaro River in the east - one of the granaries of Peru.

    Environmental problems Deforestation Excessive grazing leading to soil erosion Desertification Air pollution in Lima Pollution of rivers and coastal waters with industrial waste. Peru is the largest gold producer in Latin America and the sixth largest in the world. At the same time, illegal mining accounts for about 20% of all gold production in Peru increased against the backdrop of global economic crisis. And the reason for this was the formation of numerous illegal mines in which gold is mined among the mountain jungle. As scientists were able to calculate, the sharply increased demand for gold has led to the fact that about 6,000 hectares of forests disappear annually.
