Latin America is part of planet Earth, part of the planet of people. Schedule. Dynamics of population growth in Latin America. EXERCISE. Analyze the population growth chart for Latin America and answer the following questions: 1. What is the population of Latin America? 2. How many times has the population of the region increased since the beginning of the twentieth century? 3. Compare the population growth dynamics of Latin America with other regions.

Natural population growth in Latin America. Population reproduction and natural increase. Atlas maps pp. 10-11. After analyzing the maps and diagram, we can conclude that for Lat. America is characterized by type II reproduction. This affects the size and age structure of the region's population. 1. Consider the thematic map “Fertility”. As you can see, the predominant color on the map is yellow, therefore, the number of births per year per 1000 inhabitants of Lat. America averages 25 people. (After looking at the map, click the mouse 2 times). 2. Consider the thematic map “Mortality”. As you can see, the map is dominated by a light green color, therefore, the number of deaths per year per 1000 inhabitants of Lat. America averages 7 people. “Fertility” “Mortality” Now let’s analyze the information obtained from the maps and consider the “Natural increase” diagram. The green bar shows the number of births per year per 1000 inhabitants (25), the blue bar shows the number of deaths per year per 1000 inhabitants (7). And the lilac column shows the difference between the number of births and deaths (25 – 7 = 18). This means the population of Lat. America is growing at a rate of 18 people. per 1000 inhabitants per year. (“If you’re not too lazy?” Calculate, knowing the population of Latin America in 2000, how many inhabitants there were in this region in 2001, etc.). Click the mouse 2 times.

Slide description:

The ethnic and racial composition of the population of Latin America is characterized by great complexity, which is associated with the peculiarities of its historical development. Many representatives of large ethnic groups formed in this region in modern times. Three main elements participated in their formation: the indigenous Indian population, emigrants from European countries and slaves exported from Africa. Machu Picchu is the ancient city of the Incas. Ancient Aztec temple. The surviving monuments of the pre-Columbian period indicate a high level of development of the culture of the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas. This culture was completely destroyed by the Spanish-Portuguese conquerors. Hernandez Cortez in 1521 destroyed the Aztec state with incredible cruelty. Francisco Pissaro destroyed the Inca state with the same cruelty. In 1532, he fraudulently captured the Supreme Inca Atahulpa, who, in exchange for his freedom, offered an unheard-of ransom: to fill the room in which he was imprisoned with gold. The Supreme Inca kept his word, but the Spaniards, having received the gold, executed him. Before the arrival of Columbus, the indigenous population was 20 million people, and in 1521 - 7.3 million people.

The almost complete extermination of the Indians raised the issue of labor for the colonialists, which was resolved by importing black slaves from Africa. The total number of blacks brought to America was 10 million people. This is how three main racial-ethnic elements emerged.

CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF ACCOMMODATION: - the least populated region of the world with an average density of 25 people. per km. sq.; the unevenness of placement is strongly expressed; there is a high proportion of high mountain population.

Slide 11

URBANIZATION False urbanization is characteristic. The formation of slum areas, “poverty zones”, in which up to 50% of the population of many cities live. The largest cities with a population of more than 10 million people.

Slide 12

Latin America can be classified as an industrialized region, although all its countries are usually classified as developing. The region's share in global gross product is 8.5%. 4/5 of all industrial production comes from the three economic leaders - Brazil, Mexico, Argentina. The region plays a prominent role in global agricultural production.

Slide 14

INDUSTRY. For a long time, the industry of the region was characterized primarily by the development of mining industries. However, recently the leading role has begun to shift to the manufacturing industry (especially ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, oil refining, as well as electronics and mechanical engineering). In Brazil, electronics, automobile, ship, and aircraft construction have developed; in Mexico and Argentina - production of cars and machine tools. AGRICULTURE. Represented by two completely different sectors. The first sector is a high-commodity plantation economy. The world's largest banana producers are Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, and Panama. On refrigerated ships, the entire banana harvest is exported to Europe and the USA, and they ripen along the way. In Cuba, 1/2 of all cultivated land is occupied by sugar cane plantations. Sugar factories produce more than 5 million tons of sugar per year. The sugar industry is Cuba's specialty. The second sector is the consumer small-scale economy, not affected by the “green revolution”. The peasants employed there grow corn, cassava, beans, vegetables, and potatoes.

Slide 15

Transport facilities in Latin America are poor. Inland water and pipeline transport are underdeveloped; despite the large length of railways, their throughput capacity is very low; air and road transport are better developed. Maritime transport and seaports play a huge role; all roads in the region lead to the seaport. Freight train. Brazil. Road in the Andes. Panama Canal. Horse-drawn transport. River trams.

Slide 2

The name “Latin America,” which was established in the 30s of the 20th century, is due to the fact that the majority of the region’s inhabitants speak Spanish or Portuguese (derived from Latin), as well as the fact that Romanesque (“Latin”) countries Europe significantly influenced the formation of its culture. The countries located in Central America and the islands of the Caribbean Sea have the most favorable EGP. Access to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, through which important world sea routes pass
