UNIT 7. ANDALUSIAN LANDSCAPES A landscape includes all of the different parts of an enviroment, for example, flat lands, rivers, mountains, valleys, forests, villages, cities, factories….

1. LANDSCAPES CAN BE : A. Natural landscapes: they are natural because they have not been influenced by humans. They have many natural elements and some are very important like “Sierra Nevada” or “Doñana” because they are natural reserves.

B. Artificial landscapes: these landscapes are created or modified by human beings.

They have lots of artificial elements. They can be rural or urban.

- Rural landscapes are: villages, fields, farms…

- Urban landscapes are: cities, airports …

2. THERE ARE SIX TYPES OF LANDSCAPES: 1. Mountain landscapes: in a mountain landscape there are rivers, forests, villages, valleys, etc… There are three parts of a mountain: - The summit: the highest part of the mountain.

- Slopes: they are the sides that go from the foot to the summit.

- The foot: the lowest part. (Sierra Nevada, Sierra Morena) 2. Coastal landscapes: in a coastal landscape there are beaches, the sea, tourist towns, cliffs, boats…. (Almería, Málaga, Cádiz…)

3. Desert landscapes: are places without plants or water. Only some animals, like camels, can live indeserts because they do not need a lot of water to survive.

Tabernas Desert.

4. Submarine landscapes: they are at the bottom of the seas and oceans. Fish, some mammals and aquatic plants live in submarine habitats. (Mediterranean Sea and Atlatic Ocean) 5. Rural landscapes: in rural landscapes there are many cultivated lands. People grow vegetables, fruits and keep animals. There are not many houses. (Vega in Granada, Greenhouses in Almería) 6. Urban landscapes: There are many houses and buildings (schools, parks, cinemas, restaurants, supermarkets....). They are called cities or towns, for example, Granada or Seville.

Summary: Andalucía is an autonomous community and it is divided into eight provinces: Almeria, Cadiz, Cordoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaen, Malaga and Seville.

Andalusia is in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. To the east is the Mediterranean Sea; to the west the Atlantic Ocean; to the north the Sierra Morena constitutes the border with the Meseta Central. © Ana Belén García Naveros www.ceipsanmiguel4.blogspot.com
