Europeans have played an important part in shaping world
culture. Europes first civilizations grew up near the Mediterranean
Sea. Many kingdoms and empires followed. Later, explorers and
settlers carried European languages and culture around the globe.
Today, people speak European languages in many parts of the world.
Europeans no longer rule world empires. However, many modern ideas
about rights and government grew from European experiences.

Europe and Russia Physical Geography: Location Europe is a
small continent, but many people live there. Europe is north of
Africa. It is separated from Africa by the Mediterranean Sea.
Europe stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Asia in the
east. The northern shores of Europe touch the Arctic Ocean.

Unit 4: Europe and Russia Section 1: Physical Features Europe
has four major land regions 1.The Northwestern Highlands cover the
northern parts of France, Great Britain, and Scandinavia. The
climate is severe and the soil is too thin for farming; few people
live here.
Slide 9
2. The North European Plain extends from southern England and
France to the Ural Mountains in Russia. Here there is rich soil and
good farmland; the population is dense. Unit 14: Europe and
Russia

3. The Central Uplands stretch across the center of southern
Europe. This region has The Alpine Mountain System is a series of
mountain ranges that cross Europe from Spain to the Balkans and
extend to Georgia. This area has many small farms and is a popular
tourist destination.

located beyond the Ural Mountains in Russia. This is a cold, harsh
area with a scattered population.

Important rivers of Europe and Russia 1.The Rhine River begins
in the Alps and stretches to the North Sea. The Rhines tributaries,
smaller rivers and streams that connect to the main river, form a
network of transportation corridors throughout Europe. 2. The
Volga: the longest river in Europe, flows through western Russia to
the Caspian Sea. The Volga and other rivers of Russia freeze during
the Winter and are not navigable, that is, ships cannot travel on
them. 3. The Danube begins in the mountains of Germany and flows
through eight countries It is the second longest river in Europe
and is navigable year-round.

Mountains rise in northern and southern Europe. A large plain
covers the middle. The plain is called the Great European Plain. It
runs from France in the southwest to Russias Ural Mountains in the
northeast. The plain includes southeastern England. Mountains in

Climate Regions The climate varies from one part of Europe to
another. Far northern Europe is always cold. Most other parts of
northern and central Europe have warm summers. Winters in these
parts are cool or cold. Warm ocean winds keep the climate milder in
western Europe than in eastern Europe. Southern Europe has a
different climate. Most countries along the Mediterranean Sea have
hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. This type of weather is
known as a Mediterranean climate. The conditions are good for
growing grapes, olives, and citrus fruit. Section 2: Humans and the
Physical Environment
Long ago, Europe had more wild areas where animals could live.
But over time, people cut down forests, and many areas have become
polluted. Overhunting and overfishing have also threatened Europes
animals. Europeans have set up wildlife preserves and conservation
programs to protect the continents animals. Europes Animals
Slide 34
Europe and Russia have a wide variety of natural resources.
Fossil fuels were formed over millions of years from the remains of
ancient plants and animals. They include coal, oil, and natural
gas. Fossil fuels are called non-renewable resources because when
they are used up, they are gone forever. Section 3: Geographic
Features and Natural Resources

Major Industrial Resources
Slide 36
Other resources 1.oil and gas (North Sea east of England and in
Siberia) 2.Coal is mined in Great Britain, Germany, Eastern Europe,
the Ukraine, and Russia. 3.Other European resources include copper
and lead. 4. water In Western Europe. It is used for washing and
drinking, irrigating crops, and transporting goods, and as an
energy source. 5.The force of water from a waterfall or dam can
spin machines called turbines.
