Explanatory note to olympiad tasks school stage all-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren in geography
2016-2017 academic year
The school stage of the Geography Olympiad for grade 5 is held in two rounds.
The first round is a test one, in which test tasks are presented.
The second round is theoretical, consisting of geographic problems.
The participants of the Olympiad are prohibited from:
address questions to someone other than the duty officers and members of the Organizing Committee;
bring notebooks, reference books, textbooks, geographic atlases and any electronic devices used to transmit, receive or accumulate information (except for non-programmable calculators and switched off mobile phones) into classrooms.
The participants of the Olympiad are obliged to hand over the tasks after the time allotted for the completion of the school stage of the Olympiad. Participants can submit work ahead of schedule, after which they must leave the class.
General principles assessment of students' Olympiad works in geography
The proposed tasks are drawn up taking into account the curriculum of 4.5 classes of a comprehensive school.
For a more objective assessment of the work, it is recommended to check the work of all participants byunified grading system:
each task of the test round is evaluated by 1 point
each problem of the theoretical round is evaluated from 0.5 points to 5 points
When checking work
the main attention is paid to the clean copy, and refer to the draft only to clarify the record in the clean copy; no entry in the draft can reduce the grade;
points cannot be removed for the discrepancy between the decision of the participant of the Olympiad and the author's;
To complete the tasks of the school stage of the Olympiad in geography for grade 5,
2 hours 15 minutes: test tour - 1 academic hour (45 minutes)
theoretical tour - 2 academic hours (90 minutes)
The maximum assessment of the entire work is 36 points.
Awarding prizes
The winners of the school stage of the Olympiad are the participants in the Olympiad with the highest number of points.
The winners of the school stage of the Olympiad within the established quota (25% of the total number of participants) are all participants in the school stage of the Olympiad who follow the winners in the final table.
In the case when a participant has the same number of points as those who follow him, the decision on this participant and all participants who have an equal number of points with him is determined as follows:
all participants are recognized as prize-winners if their scores are more than half of the maximum possible;
all participants are not recognized as prize-winners if their scores do not exceed half of the maximum possible.
Dear Guys!
Olympiad essential tool not only testing your geographic training, but also the development of geographic thinking, ideas about our planet.
Read the assignments carefully. We recommend that before entering answers into the form, write them on a draft. When answering questions and completing assignments, do not rush, since the answers are not always obvious and require knowledge of not only program material, but also general geographic erudition.
Good luck with your work!

12. Being at the mill, it is possible to observe the fire, since the spring is located in the gully and is clearly visible from the hill.
13.
14. The salinity of ocean surface waters depends on the ratio of precipitation and evaporation. In tropical latitudes, with a predominance of downdrafts, the amount of precipitation is less than in equatorial ones, and evaporation is greater.
15. Deforestation leads to a decrease in the soil's ability to retain moisture, to an increase in surface runoff, therefore, in mountainous areas, the destruction of forests on the slopes leads, on the one hand, to an increase in river flooding, causing flooding, and on the other hand, to increased water erosion, the development of landslides, which causes damage agricultural land and settlements.
16. Arctic air masses forming in the north North America, can penetrate to the latitude of the Gulf of Mexico; the relief of the mainland in the central part is flat and they do not encounter obstacles (in the form of mountain ranges) on their way. The Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Greenland, the cold Hudson Bay jutting deep into the land on one side, and the Gulf of Mexico, which is also deep into the land, on the other, create large differences in temperature and pressure between the north and south of the mainland, which, in turn, can cause air movement. masses from north to south.
17. In humid equatorial forests there is a large amount of plant litter; there are favorable conditions for the vital activity of soil microorganisms. However, with a large average annual rainfall and daily rainfall, the soil is washed to a great depth, and nutrients are washed out from it. In addition, hot and humid climates contribute to the fact that organic matter entering the soil is very quickly decomposed and absorbed by plants. Thus, the accumulation of humus does not occur.
18. The north of the West Siberian Plain lies in the arctic and subarctic climatic zones. These climate types are characterized by long and severe winters. Little precipitation falls, the height of the snow cover is low. Therefore, it does not protect the ground from deep freezing. Freezing is also facilitated by strong winds typical for these types of climate.
19. All of these cities are located at approximately the same latitude. The height of the Sun depends on the time of day and the maximum is at noon. At 10 o'clock GMT, noon will be on meridian 30˚ v.d. of all the listed cities, Krasnoyarsk is the farthest from this meridian. Therefore, in this city, the minimum height of the Sun will be observed.
20. Karst landforms are formed if the territory is composed of soluble rocks (gypsum, salt, limestone). For the Cis-Ural foredeep, sedimentary rocks are more typical (many of which dissolve when water interacts). In the Trans-Urals, soluble rocks are less common; hard crystalline rocks prevail. In addition, more precipitation falls in the Cis-Urals than in the Trans-Urals.
