Republic of Uzbekistan
Geographical location: The Republic of Uzbekistan is located between the Amudarya and Syrdarya rivers, with an area of 449.8 thousand square kilometers. The border of the republic is 1425 km from west to east, 930 km from north to south. The republic borders Kazakhstan in the northeast, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the east and southeast, Turkmenistan in the west, and Afghanistan in the south.
Coordinates: 41 0 north latitude, 64 0 east longitude.
Borders: The total length of the state border is 6,221 kilometers. Including Afghanistan - 137 km, Kazakhstan - 2,203 km, Kyrgyzstan - 1,099 km, Tajikistan - 1,161 km and Turkmenistan - 1,621 km.
Terrain: Uzbekistan has very favorable natural and geographical conditions among the countries of Central Asia. The territory of the country includes a unique lowland and mountain topography. A large part of the territory of Uzbekistan is made up of lowlands. The most important of them is the Turanian plain. In the east and north-east of the country are the mountain ranges of Tien-Shan and Pamir (the highest point of the country (4643 m). In the center of the territory of Uzbekistan lies one of the vast deserts of the world - Kyzylkum.
Geological structure and minerals: The country's underground resources include reserves of natural gas, lignite and hard coal, gold, copper, tungsten, bismuth, and open-pit oil fields.
Climate: The climate of Uzbekistan is a sharply changing continental climate. Day and night, summer and winter air temperatures in the region are sharply different. The annual temperature difference is significantly higher. The average temperature in January drops to -6 0, and in July the average temperature rises to +32 0. The amount of annual precipitation in lowland areas is -120-200 mm, in desert areas -1000 mm. up to Due to low rainfall, agriculture is dependent on artificial irrigation.
Internal water bodies: The largest rivers of the country are Amudarya and Syrdarya. Amudarya is 1437 km long, Syrdarya is 2137 km long. Most of the internal rivers of Uzbekistan drain into vast steppes during their course, only Amudarya and Syrdarya flow into the Aral Sea. There are several artificial lakes in the republic, such as Chordarya, which provide water throughout the year.
Soil and plants. The lowlands consist of desert vegetation, and the mountains consist of steppe, forest, and foothill vegetation.
Fauna: The fauna of the country is very diverse. In the deserts, the saiga, which is considered very rare, and the 1.5-meter-long goat, and in the high mountains, rare species of snow bar and mountain goat can be found.
Mountain system: one fifth of the republic's territory is made up of mountains and sub-mountains. The eastern region consists of medium and high mountain terrain: the territory of the republic is the West Tien-Shan (Ugom, Pskem, Chotkal and Kurama mountain ranges) and Pamir-Aloy (Zarafshan, Turkestan, Hisar, Kohitangtog and Boysuntog). 'mountain range) includes the slope of mountain ranges. From the south to the west, they slope and merge with the lowland. Between these mountains lie the huge oases of Kashkadarya, Surkhandarya, Zarafshan and Samarkand. Fergana Valley, which is the largest of these, is 370 kilometers long and 190 kilometers wide. It is surrounded by high mountains on three sides, and only the western side is plain. The Amudarya delta stretches along the border with Afghanistan.
Natural resources: The Republic of Uzbekistan has huge industrial and mineral raw materials, agricultural products, a large amount of semi-finished products obtained in the process of processing, natural wealth reserves and developed infrastructure capabilities.
Modern exploration of underground reserves includes reserves of precious, non-ferrous and rare metals, various organic fuel products, oil, natural gas and gas condensate, lignite and semi-coking coal, shale fuel, uranium. and is related to the exploitation of deposits rich in the types of raw materials necessary for many constructions.
In the territory of Uzbekistan, a complex of minerals containing more than one hundred mineral raw materials, sixty types of which are already used in the national economy, has been identified.
It is confirmed that Uzbekistan occupies a leading position not only among the CIS countries, but also in the whole world in terms of reserves of minerals such as gold, uranium, copper, natural gas, tungsten, potassium salt, phosphorites, kaolin. In particular, it ranks fourth in the world in terms of gold reserves, seventh in mining, tenth-eleventh in copper reserves, seventh-eighth in uranium reserves, and tenth in mining. occupying the first to twelfth places.
The reserves of mineral raw materials mentioned below will not only extend the period of future mining activities in the existing mining complexes, but also their gold, uranium, copper, lead, silver, lithium, phosphorus, potassium salts, tin spar, wollastonite, rural farm chemical ores and a number of others serves to organize re-extraction of minerals and increase their capacity.
