landscape
The Moravian-Silesian region has a very diverse landscape. In the north are the Hrubý Jeseník massifs with the highest mountain in Moravia Praděd ( 1.491 m nm ), which slowly merge into the Nízký Jeseník ( Nízký Jeseník ), the high valley and finally into the Oderské vrchy . The center of the region is formed by the densely populated areas of the plain around Troppau ( Opava ), the Ostrauer Pan (Ostravská pánev) and the Moravian Gate (Moravská brána). In the southeast the landscape becomes mountainous again through the Beskids . The area occupies 5,535 km², 7% of the total area of the Czech Republic. More than half can be used for agriculture, 35% take up forest areas. In addition to natural wealth, the district also has many raw materials such as coal, natural gas, limestone, granite, marble, slate, gypsum stone, gravel sand, sand and brick clay. The main river is the springing in the Oder Mountains Or .

economy
The area was already heavily industrialized during the time of Austria-Hungary in the 19th century and was one of the most important industrial areas in Central Europe. However, the focus on heavy industry today brings with it many social problems since this branch of the economy stopped developing. At 10.4%, however, it is still the second largest district after Prague, which contributes to the gross domestic product . Today all pig iron, 92% of steel and 98% of coke in the Czech Republic are produced here. The extraction of hard coal also only takes place here. Another important branch of the economy is the energy industry, gas production, the commercial vehicle industry and the tobacco and food industries.
