1. Russia's winters are severe, and they last from mid-October to mid-April. Temperatures have been known to drop down to -90 degrees F.
ReplyDelete2. To deal with this extreme cold, the peasents added potatoes and corn to their diet. They were made in stews, and soups. The warming provided many calories to help the people fight off cold. They traveled in sleighs. They wore heavy clothing to conserve body heqat.
3. No, i do not think it has become less singificant. Whether or not they have more technology, they still have to deal with the cold one way or another. There is no way around that. Altough, they do have more methods to help cope with the weather.
1. in moscow, snow begins to fall in mid-october, and lasts until mid-april. siberia has been known to to have temperatures as low as -90F.
ReplyDelete2. heavy hats, fur trim, leggings, silver samovars. they also made there homes out of logs and stuffed moss between the logs.
3. yes, they have come up with new technologies to help with the cold. the temperatures probably haven't changed, but how they cope with it has. they have down parkas. insulation in their homes, heaters, and many other things.

ReplyDeleteSome methods the russians used to cope with their environments was that they wore heavy fur cloths. They had wooden houses and to insulate them they put moss in it.
Yes, besause they ahve insulation, heaters, and vehilces so they don't have to worry about being cold.
1. The climate in russia is very cold temperatures as low as -90 degress Farnhite.
ReplyDelete2. They added potatoes and corn to their diet. During the winter, these foods were used in soups and stews. Which were really worm and lots of calories to fight off colds.
3. I think yes, because we have heaters to keep us worm, our houses are insulated, and we have wormer cloths and blanket to keep us worm too.
The climate in Russia is usually really cold in the winter. They have very severe winters that begin in mid-October and lasts until mid-April. The temperatures can get as low as -90 degress. The Russians cope with the environment by adding potatoes and corn to their diet by putting them in soups and stews. The soups and stews helped warm the body and provide plenty of calories to fight off the cold. I think yes because we have insulation and heaters to put in houses.
ReplyDeleteRussia's climate is very cold and harsh. Some of the things that make the winters so bad are freezing cold temperature, high winds, and a landscape that added to the power of both of them.
ReplyDeleteEven though the climate was bad this didn't stop them from doing the things that needed to be done. First they would wear thick fur and and robes to keep insulated. Otter was the most common used because of its ability to keep warm and dry. They aslo used sleighs to get around and still played games in the cold.
Yes i do because the way the biuldings are much more advanced in the insulation and the technology in which they are made. Also the advances in clothing and vehicles allows the people of Russia to get where they need to go.
Russia has severe winters. In Moscow snow falls in mid-October and lasts until mid-April. The temperatures have been as low as 90degrees below zero in Siberia. Russia had methods to cope with this harsh environment. Some of which include: Adding potatoes and corn to their diet to use in nutritious foods such as soups or stews. Heavy hats, fur trim on robes, and leggings were worn to help conserve body heat. To travel in the winter, the wealthy traveled in Troika. Troika was a sleigh pulled by three horses. Also the people insulated their houses with moss between the logs to trap in heat. NO, i do not think that we still have the these climatic factors due to all of our modern technology.
ReplyDeleteMost of Russia lies in the northern part of the world, and further away from the equator and warm weather. This is one climatic feature, another is that it is cold most of the year.
ReplyDeleteSome methods for keepinig warm in the cold were heavy, wool clothes. Another was using double-panes of glass for windows and suffing moss betwteen the logs of the house.
Yes, for example humans used to have to keep watch over the fire at night to keep warm.Now we have heaters, so that has gotten easier.
Also in very hot weather humans had to deal with the weather or stay in the shade, but now we have air conditioning.

in russia the climate wasvery cold the average tempature for one city in russia is 12 degrese ferinhight compaired to a city in the united states that is 21 degrese ferinhgt.
ReplyDeletethey coped with there environment by making there roofs steeper so the snow would slide off and also bydressing with larg hats that had fur trim and they wore leggings which helped to hold in body heat.
yes because you can go inside and get warmer eaiser now that we use propain and have better insulating .
Mutch of Russia has severe winters. And Siberia is known to have temperatures as low as -90 degrees F. Also the average temperature in Mosow during January is 21 degrees F.
ReplyDeleteThey cope with their enviroment by wearing heavy fur coats, and big hats. Also they added potatoes and corn to their diet. During the cold these calorie filled foods helped fight off the cold.
Yes becuase technology can still be produced inside, without the worry of the cold. Now industrys have heaters, and can operate year around.
1 In Moscow the snow usually was on the ground between mid October all the way to mid April.
ReplyDeletesometimes the tempature would drop to -90 degrees F.
2 They wore heavy hats, fur trim on some of the robes and the legging were worn by those with shorter robes. They would add potatoes and corn to their diet for extra calories and nutrients. they used otter fur to make some of there coats. People would insulate there houses with moss by stuffing it between the logs. to travel in winter the wealthy used what they called Troika a three horse drawn sleigh.
3 I beleive that the winters are the same but with more techonolegy the russians make the winters seem easier and they are cause of the coats and heater an better insulation.
1. Snow usually falls in mid-October and lasts until mid-April. Siberia has been known to have temperatures as low as -90degreesF.
ReplyDelete2. Russian peasants added corn and potatoes to their diet. Used Silver Samovar to boil water for tea. Wore heavy hats, fur trim, and leggings worn by those with shorter robes. Wore heavy fur coats and the fur was Otter fur.
3. Yes because there is better insolation techniques now. There is heating in houses know instead of using just a fire.
1) Russia has really cold winters and never gets warm. Mostly because Russia is above 45 degrees latitude. in Moscow snow starts falling around mid-October, and Siberia can get as cold as -90 degrees farenheit.
ReplyDelete2) Russians wear thick coats with furs like otter that has 1 million hairs per square inch. they ate hot soup and stews, and drank warm liquids like teas.
3) Yes, with innovations like insulation it is easier to cope with the cold of Russian winters.
Russia has severe winters. in moscow it usually begiuns to snow in October and lasts till mid- April. The Russians adjusted to their enviorments by addind corn and potatoes to their diet. In the winter they would have soups and stews, these dishes were warming and provided plenty of calories to help fight off the cold. Yes, because the technology is way advanced compared to way back then.
ReplyDelete1. In Russia they have extremely harsh winters. For example in Moscow snow usually begins to fall in mid-October and lasts until mid-April. In Siberia they had temperatures as low as -90 degrees Fahrenheit.
ReplyDelete2. The Russians didn't have technology but they did have food. Russian peasants added potatoes to their soups and stews. This kept them warm and also gave them lots of calories. On the outside the Russians used heavy hats, heavy robes with fur trim, and leggings that would help them to conserve their body heat. To insulate their houses the Russians used moss to put in the cracks of their wooden houses for insulation. They used double paned windows, shutters to cover the windows, and had steep roofs all to help conserve their heat.
3. Yes. I believe that technology such as thick insulation in a house has greatly increased how they deal with the cold. A different way to think about it is that they can now get log splitters for firewood, decreasing the amount of time spent outside. They can also have a heated home through electricity or propane. They can now get hot water any time they need it such as a hot shower to warm up.
1.) Servere winters, snow usally begins to fall in mid-october and lasts until mid-April. known to have temperatures as low as -90 degrees F.
ReplyDelete2.) Russians did not have down parkas or high-teck insulation for their homes. In the 18th century russians peasants added potatoesand corn to their diet. nutritious foods were used in soups and stews. such dishes were warming and provided plenty of calories to help fight off the cold.
3.) Yes, Because tecnology is
better now.
1.)Russia had severe winters. In Moscow, snow usually begins to fall in mid-October and lasts until mid-April. Siberia has been known to have temperatures as low as -90 degrees F.
ReplyDelete2.)Russians added potatoes and corn to their diet, with them they added them to soup and stew. Such dishes were warming and provided plenty of calories. They wore traditional dress of tribes form the Crimean Peninsula. The heavy hats, the fur trim on some of the robes, and the leggings worn by those with shorter robes. These help conserve body heat.
3.) Yes I do think climatic factors have become less significant with technological progress because they have found many different ways of producing heat.
In Russia there are mountains in the south obstructing the flow of warm air masses from the Indian Ocean and the plain of the west and north makes the country open to Arctic and Atlantic influences. The climate affects where and how long people live and work, what kinds of crops are grown, and where they are grown. In regions of permafrost, buildings must be constructed on pilings, machinery must be made of specially tempered steel, and transportation systems must be engineered to perform reliably in extremely low and extremely high temperatures.during extended periods of darkness and cold, there are increased demands for energy, health care, and textiles. I think the climate had a lot to do with the development because they might not be able to get some of the resources that they need because of the weather.
ReplyDelete1. The climatic features of Russia were cold in the winter time and families didnt have alot to shoose from when things got rough most were limited but some were stocked up.
ReplyDelete2. Russian's methods for coping with their enviroments were good because they were so used to building shelter for themselves when it got bad because every winter is a bad winter. They all work together to build shelter come up with food keep littler ones the warmest...ect.
3. Yes, I do think climatic factors have become less significant with technological progress. because obviously were not living back then in the old days where there wasnt much when things were going good but today there is alot better materials for shelter and the economy is better so everything is up graded.
Snow usually begins in mid-October and last until mid-April. To cope with thier environment Russian peasants added patatoes and corn in their diet. Yes, technology has changed how people stay warm, becuase instead of thinking of new things to put in their diet and clever things to do to stay warm, now they just buy a heater or get a blanket.
ReplyDelete1. Russia had severe winters. In Moscow the snow usually begins to fall in mid october and lasts until mid april. They had temperatures as low as -90F.
ReplyDelete2. They used silver samovars which are used to boil water for tea. They also used a troika. A troika is a sled. Its meaning is group of 3, the 3 horses pull it. They had wooden houses made of logs. They would keep warm by putting moss inbetween the logs for insulation.
3. Yes, they use heaters to keep warm and eat certain food.
