Geography Activity

  • Locate the world’s countries, using maps and focus on North and South America.
  • Identify the position and significance of latitude, longitude, Equator, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, Arctic and Antarctic Circle.
  • Use Google Earth to explore The Amazon Basin. https://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/earth/

Research and answer the following questions:

  • What do you know already about the Amazon Basin region and what would you like to find out?
  • Where in the world is the Amazon Basin and in which countries is it located?
  • What is the physical geography like? (climate, soils, vegetation, rivers, biome).
  • What is the human geography like? (settlement size and character, farming types, extractive industries, transport links, natural resources, environmental impact).
  • How is the rainforest in the Amazon Basin changing? Why is the rainforest changing?
  • What happened, or is still happening, to cause these changes? Do the changes have positive or negative effects?
  • How does this region of South America compare and contrast with regions in the UK, Europe and/or North America?

Explore other rainforests in the world. There is a tropical rainforest map on the National Geographic website https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/habitats/rainforest-map/

Research more about rainforests:  https://www.3dgeography.co.uk/rainforests

Rainforests are one of the main biomes of the world. Others include tundra, desert, grassland, deciduous forest and coniferous forest. More information on a range of biomes or habitats can be found on the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z849q6f/articles/zvsp92p

 Investigate the various crops grown in the rainforests on the Living Rainforest website  https://livingrainforest.org/learning-resources

Investigate which animals live in the Amazon rainforest compared with other rainforests of the world. The Living Rainforest website https://livingrainforest.org/resources-categories/plant-animal-profiles

Follow the course of the Amazon River from source to mouth. Investigate the pattern of the tributaries, using for example, Google Earth https://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/earth/ or Google Maps and switching between maps and satellite view. Explore the associated images and drop the Google yellow stick man onto the map to view significant places and features along the river, such as those in towns and ports. 

The short clip ‘Amazon’s ‘Invisible Flying Rivers’’ on the BBC Futures website https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20130326-amazons-invisible-flying-rivers shows how the Amazon River accounts for one fifth of the world’s river flow as it travels from the heart of South America to the Atlantic Ocean.

  • What are the houses like?
  • How do children travel to school? 
  • Research different farming types from subsistence to commercial concerns – what/where is the market for the produce?
  • Compare trade and other links from this region with other cities/countries – world trade.
  • Investigate the impact of the extractive industries (mining/logging) and transport links on the natural environment.
  • Research the reduction in forested areas (deforestation) and its impact on global climate change.

Create a fact-file or a presentation, using Powerpoint, to present your research.
