lies in southwestern Ukraine within the south-western part of the Ukrainian Carpathians. About 80% of the territory occupied by mountain ranges, valleys and hollows mizhhirnymy. In the southwest - Transcarpathian Lowland (lowland part Serednodunayskoyi). Within lowland relief plains (102-120 m) in the Carpathians by middle and lowland. Mountain ranges stretch from northwest to southeast: the north - Dividing Range, extending south Polonynskyi range (g Polonyna-Fleece, 1479 m), partitioned into separate arrays (meadows Borzhava Red), and Svidovetsky spine (g. Blyznytsia, 1883 m) east of which - the backbone of Montenegro with the highest in Ukraine Goverla (2061 m) and Rakhovsky mountains. In the region found 30 different minerals among which uncharacteristically for Ukraine: Polymetal ore, alunite, perlite, zeolites, liparites. In Solotvynsky field - about 3,5 billion tons of rock salt. Open 13 deposits of carbonaceous raw materials (limestone, dolomite, marble), more than 360 mineral water springs (on the basis of these sources are few health centers). Barite ore deposits are explored. There are deposits of brown coal. The climate is temperate. In lowland winter is short, mild (-2 °, -3 ° in January), summers are warm (19 °, 21 ° in July), in the middle winter cold, prolonged (-5 °, -9 ° in January ), short summers and cool (9 °, 13 °). In the mountains, temperatures decrease with height. Annual rainfall varies from 642 mm (Coastal) to 1 411 mm (Ust-Black). The Trans 152 river length of 10 km. They belong to the Tisza River basin and almost all originate in the mountains. Major rivers: Tisa Teresva, Tereblya, Japan, Borzhava, Latoritsa Uh. For typical river flooding after torrential rains (8-10 floods per year). In the region 137 lakes of glacial origin and zahatnoho (most - Synevyr, 989 m above sea level), 50 ponds and reservoirs.
soils mainly - brown acid and sod-brownsoil, brownsoil-podzol (on the hills, the foothills and on the high terraces of the rivers), meadow brownsoil - on the lower terraces, and the plain - greensward ashed and surface-gleyed. About 50% of the territory occupied by forests. Explain clearly expressed altitude vegetation. In the Transcarpathian Lowland oak-hornbeam and oak forests in the foothills and mountains to a height of 700 m - oak, to 1 300 m - beech, up to 1 500-1 550 m-spruce with admixtures of beech, fir, cedar pine, above - subalpine and alpine meadows and more. Meadow vegetation is common in river valleys and on hillsides and ridges. Abundant wildlife, presented 450 species: mammals - 70 species of birds - 280 fish - 60. Adverse natural processes: in the mountains - earthquakes (up to 8-9 points), frequent avalanches, intense weathering, particularly frosty, landslides and scree, collapses. During the disastrous floods - intensive erosion and acumulyatyvna activity of rivers. On the Tisza and its tributaries often created mudslides, and between Borzhava Teresva common Karst. Strong winds cause Storms. Reclamation activities: watersheds or ravine-beam stand and afforestation along rivers and reservoirs, terasuvannya slopes, creating vodorehulyuyuchyh dams, anchoring riverbanks. In Transcarpathia - 457 territories and protected the fund from which the state value: biosphere reserve, two national parks, 18 nature reserves, nine natural monuments, botanical garden, park, monument of landscape architecture, 12 natural landmarks.
first people in Ukraine were in Transcarpathia (archaeological finds of ancient human footprints near the town of Queen). In the chronicles settled here during the Slavic tribe of White Croatians. In the tenth century. Transcarpathia to spread the power of the princes of Kiev, but soon these lands were ruled by Hungary.
