Explanation

The review lesson goes through the topics of the whole year in order. The first sections cover the system of geographical sciences, the structure of the Earth, the geographic envelope and its regularities (latitudinal zonation, altitudinal zonation) and geosystems (facies, urochishche, locality). The next topics are society–nature interaction, geographic assessment, forecasting, monitoring and expert review. In the political-economic part we studied population, urbanisation, migration, geopolitics, integration organisations, global problems and the regions (Europe, Latin America, Africa, Oceania, Asia). Finally comes Uzbekistan: its geopolitical position, economy and geoecological problems. An effective way to review is to write your own questions and tests on each topic and solve them, to fill in a blank map, and to redo time-difference and map-scale problems.

Worked examples
Time difference: Tashkent is UTC+5, Paris in winter UTC+1. The difference is 5 − 1 = 4 hours. If it is 20:00 in Tashkent, it is 20 − 4 = 16:00 in Paris.
Scale: on a 1 : 2 000 000 map, 7 cm = 7 × 2 000 000 = 14 000 000 cm = 140 km. Conversely, 100 km in reality is 100 × 100 000 : 2 000 000 = 5 cm on the map.
Class activity

“Question chain”: the class splits into two teams; each team in turn asks a question from past topics and the other team answers. Questions and answers go into a notebook, and some questions require showing places on a map.

Practice
1
What causes latitudinal zonation?
2
If it is 9:00 in Tashkent, what time is it in Tokyo (UTC+9)? (Number only.)
3
On a 1 : 10 000 000 map, how many km is 5 cm? (Number only.)
4
Why is Uzbekistan's macro-level economic-geographic position judged unfavourable?
