The average annual precipitation is from 300 to 600 mm (in Eastern Siberia it drops even to 150-200 mm).

"Icy Desert" - Settlements of a few Greenlanders. It is believed that Arctida slowly sank to the bottom of the ocean. Antarctica is an icy continent. For millennia, the harsh Arctic and Antarctic have attracted people. Ice is not completely white. Greenland is the largest ice-bound island. Today the icy desert is calm. One of the largest penguin colonies in the world. Ice is the main attraction of the polar regions.

In science, there are several hypotheses of the settlement of the mainland. South America is the birthplace of ancient civilizations. The first to build majestic palaces and temples on American soil, to create a complex and amazing culture, were not the Aztecs, not the Incas, and not the Mayans. More than 3 thousand years ago, Olmec cities flourished in Mexico. They, according to scientists, are the ancestors of the first Maya. Nearly 2 thousand years ago, the Maya invented hieroglyphic writing, they are known as wonderful astronomers.

The first people came to the Andes through the Isthmus of Panama, they did not know agriculture, so they were mainly engaged in gathering, hunting and fishing. Many years later, they cultivated wild corn, began to make dishes, domesticated guanacos - close relatives of camels.

Long before the emergence of the famous Inca empire, powerful states existed on the slopes of the Peruvian Andes - Chavin, Paracas, Mochica. The center of the state of Chavin was located 462 km from Lima at an altitude of 3180 m above sea level.

The development of the Incas can only be traced back to 1438. Before the Spanish conquest, the Inca ruler Pachacutec turned his state into a huge powerful empire that stretched 5000 km from the south of modern Colombia to the north of Chile and Argentina. They called their country Tawantinsuya (Four directions of the world), believing that the still unconquered lands would eventually submit to them.

Aymara - skilled weavers and builders of reed boats - weaved floating islands from totora reed for their villages on Lake Titicaca.

The Indians offered desperate resistance to the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors, but were defeated and subjected to ruthless destruction. The indigenous population has survived to this day only in the most inaccessible areas of the mainland - in the Amazonian selva (the peoples of the Bororo, Guahibo, Botokudy), in the north of the Pacific equatorial forests (choco, embera) and in the mountain "bear corners" (Motilons, Arawaks, Yagans).

The conquistadors, led by Francisco Pizarro, completely mastered the Central Andes in 10 years, forcing the Indians to work for themselves. Almost all of South America was divided between Spain and Portugal. According to the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, only the northeastern tip of South America went to Portugal, and all other lands to Spain. The local people waged a liberation struggle against colonial dependence. Simon Bolivar led the rebel army and liberated Venezuela, Peru and other countries from the Spanish colonizers. Therefore, one of the liberated territories was named Bolivia.

At present, representatives of all three races of mankind live in South America. Among the population of the mainland there was a mixture of races, languages, traditions, customs. The composition of the population has become extremely complex. 3 Likes Complain

1. What is the origin of the population of modern South America?
A man came to the territory of South America from North America, where he got from Asia along the isthmus, which existed in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe current Bering Strait. These people became the ancestors of the Indian tribes that populated the entire mainland. Some of them, upon the arrival of Europeans, were at a primitive level of development, others had a developed culture, agriculture, and crafts. With the discovery of South America, the Spaniards and the Portuguese rushed to the mainland. In the 16th-19th centuries, slaves were brought from Africa to work on the plantations. At the beginning of the 20th century, representatives of other peoples massively moved to the mainland: Italians, Germans, Russians, Ukrainians, Chinese.

2. Why is there a high population density in the Andes in the west of the mainland: after all, in the mountains, as a rule, the population is rare?
There are two reasons for this. Firstly, in the mountainous regions of the Andes, conditions are more favorable for agriculture: moderate temperatures, sufficient rainfall. Secondly, during the colonization by Europeans, many tribes were forced out of their territories and went to more impregnable areas, which were mountains.

3. On what grounds can the countries of South America be grouped?
The countries of South America can be grouped according to the following criteria:
1. By area(the largest are Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia).
2. By population(the largest are Brazil, Colombia, Argentina).
3. By geographical location:
a) seaside - Brazil, Argentina;
b) inland - Bolivia, Paraguay.
4. According to the form of the administrative structure:
unitary and federal.
5. According to the level of economic development:
a) new industrial countries (Argentina, Brazil);
b) oil producing countries (Venezuela, Ecuador);

4. Explain the origin of the names of 3-4 mainland countries.
The word "Brazil" comes from the name of the caesalpinia tree, which is "pau brazil" in Portuguese. The second part of this word - "Brazil" - is translated as "scarlet, like burning coals", and it comes from the Latin word "Brasa" - "smoldering coals, red ash, heat". There is another version of the origin of the country's name, less common. Irish myths mention the mysterious island of Hy-Brazil, or O'Brazil, located somewhere in the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean.Supporters of this version claim that the ancient Celts sailed to Brazil long before the discovery of America by Columbus, but there is no information about such travels.
Argentina - from the Latin "argentum" (silver). Merchants used Argentina's Río de la Plata (Silver River) to transport silver and other treasures from Peru. Land downstream and became known as Argentina (Land of Silver).
Peru. The name of the country has many versions about the origin. It is assumed that this name was given by the first Spanish conquerors. Possibly from the Biru River in present-day Ecuador. Others believe that the name of the country comes from the Indian language, in which Peru means "land of fertility." Another version - the name comes from the Quechua word "Pirua", meaning a large corn ear.
Chile. According to one theory, the name comes from the language of the Aymaru tribe that inhabited the country and means "the place where the earth ends." According to another - in the Quechua language - the limit of the world or the end of the world.
