extend for almost 700 miles from the coastline of southern France
(near Monaco) into Switzerland, northern Italy and Austria, then
southeast through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina as the
(Dinaric Alps). They end in Albania on the rugged coastline of the
Adriatic Sea. Alps are source of many rivers and tributaries
including the Danube, Po, Rhine and Rhone. The highest point is
Mont Blanc at 15,771 ft. (4,807 m)into SwitzerlandDanube, Po, Rhine
and RhoneMont Blanc Apennines: The source of almost all rivers in
Italy including the Arno, Tiber, and Volturno, the Apennines
Mountains (Ital. Appennino) 830 miles (1,350 km) in length, form
the backbone of the country, and run the entire length of the
Italian Peninsula, ending on the island of Sicily. The highest
point is Mt. Corno at 9,560 ft. (2,914 m). Arno, Tiber, and
VolturnoMt. Corno Atlantic Highlands: Formed million of years ago
during the Caledonian mountain-building periods as western lands
were (forced) or pushed against the Scandinavian Shield.
Significant mountain ranges here include the Kjolen in Norway and
Sweden, and the Pennines that stretch through the central United
Kingdom.KjolenPennines Balkan Mountains These mountains extend from
Yugoslavia across Bulgaria. Additional ranges run through Albania,
Greece and Macedonia. Its most famous mountain is Mt. Olympus, the
highest and most awe-inspiring peak in all of Greece. In ancient
times it was the mythical home of Zeus, and was declared the first
national park in Greece in 1939. It stands at 9,568 ft. (2,918
m).rangesMt. Olympus, Carpathian Mountains This mountain system
located in eastern Europe is the source of the Dniester, Tisza and
Vistula Rivers. They form the natural border between Slovakia and
southern Poland, and then extend southward through Ukraine and into
Romania. There are major subdivisions, and the highest point is Mt.
Gerlachovkain in northern Slovakia, standing at 8,711 ft. (2,655
m).Dniester, Tisza and Vistula RiversMt. Gerlachovkain Caucasus
Mountains Stretching from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea, these
volcanic mountains have many peaks above 15,000 ft. (4,572 m). The
highest point (and the highest point in Europe) is located here;
Mt. Elbrus at 18,506 ft. (5,642 m).Mt. Elbrus Major Mountain Ranges
in Europe Slide 14 Great Hungarian Plain Located in southeastern
Europe, and surrounded by mountains, the land features several
small forests and large patches of grassland. It averages only 100
meters above sea level and often suffers from dry conditions, thus
relying on winter snow run-off from the Alps and Carpathian
Mountains. Kjolen Mountains This jagged mountain system runs along
the border of eastern Norway and western Sweden. The highest point
is Mt. Kebnekaise, standing at 6,965 ft. (2,123 m). Massif Central
This mountainous plateau of southeastern France is the source of
the Allier, Creuse and Loire. It's about 32,189 sq. miles (85, 001
sq. km) in size, and the highest point is Puy de Sancy at 6,186 ft.
(1,885 m). Mesata The central plateau, or Mesata, covers nearly
half of the entire country of Spain. This high plateau averages
about 2,300 ft. (700 m) in the north, and 2,000 ft. (600 m) in the
south. It's surrounded by a series of mountain ranges including the
Cantabrian, Sierra De Gata and Sierra Guadarrama in the north and
central, and the Sierra Morena and Sierra Nevada in the south.
These mountains separate the Meseta from the Costa Verde, the Ebro
valley, the Mediterranean and the valleys of Andalucia. Allier,
Creuse and Loiremountain ranges North European Plain The fertile
North European Plain slopes to the north-northeast from the Alps,
extending to the Baltic Sea, and on into Denmark and southern
Finland, Norway and Sweden. It continues east for almost 2,500
miles (4000 km), on into the Russian Federation. The land is
largely flat with smaller areas of hills, including the Central
Russian Uplands. Farming is prevalent and agricultural communities
dot the landscape. Pyrenees These mountains form the natural border
between France and Spain and extend for about 270 miles from the
Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea. The highest point is Pico
de Aneto at 11,168 ft. (3,404 m) Scandinavian Shield An ancient
area of rocky earth peppered with granite rock that was literally
ground down by receding glacial ice sheets. It's a rolling area of
land covered with thousands of lakes (mostly small), linked by
rivers. Ural Mountains The Urals are 1,640 miles (2,640 km) in
length and extend from the northern-edge of the Russian Federation
down through Kazakhstan. They form a natural border between Asia
and Europe. The highest point is Mt. Narodnaya at 6,214 ft. (1,894
m). Mediterranean SeaAsia and Europe. Mountain Ranges continued..
