Europe Part Of The Seven Continent World Map And History

Europe the second greatest continent in the earth. It comprises the peninsula west of Eurasia (a large piece of land shared with Asia). Accounting for one-fifth of the world’s total land space. It limits the north and the Arctic Ocean.

The West and the Atlantic Ocean. South (from the West to the East) Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Kuma-Manych Depression, and the Caspian Sea. The eastern boundary of the continent (from north to south) extends along the Ural Mountains. Extends southwest along the Emba River (Zhem), which ends on the northern coast of the Caspian Sea.

The largest islands in the isles and archipelago include Europe, Franz Josef, Faroe Islands, Svalbard, Iceland. British Islands, Corsica, Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Malta, Sicily, Crete, and Cyprus. Its main peninsula includes Jutland and Scandinavia, Iberia, Italy, and the Balkans. With many bays, fjords, and oceans, the irregular coastline of the European continent is 24,000 miles (38,000 km) long.

Europe is an anomaly between continents. It is larger than Australia and is a small appendage to Eurasia. But, the western end of the continent, the mainland, and the island promoted the North Atlantic. Thanks to its latitude and physical geography. The large living environment and the long history of human relation to commemorate the region as a unique civilization. Despite its internal diversity, Europe the first to become a world in its consciousness. Enriched by the working hours of the Christopher Marlowe phrase, “infinite wealth in a small room”.

As a conceptual building, Europe, the most knowledgeable ancient Greek. Compare to Asia and Libya, the name applies to the known northern parts of Africa.

Somewhat prosperous with the Greeks and their predecessors. It relates the culture.

From the Greek point of view, Europe is backward and human nature is scarce. A barbaric world, not the Greeks, whose inhabitants make the sound of “bars” in an incomprehensible language. Traders and travelers have reported that Europe outside Greece has different physical units. Mountain systems and lowland river basins are much larger than those known to residents of the Mediterranean. Strong as Europe permeates from the south, there will be a series of climates differ from the Mediterranean border. The vast eastern grasslands, and the virgin forests so far occupied by humans in the west and north. Further, highlight the contrast of the environment.

The Roman Empire, in the second century AD, exhibited and branded its culture in most parts of the continent. Trade relations transcend their borders attract the most remote areas.

The Mediterranean coast of North Africa and southwestern Asia show European material and cultural affinities. In particular, Turkey and Cyprus, although geographically Asian, have elements of European culture that consider part of Europe. Turkey applied to become a member of the European Union, and the Republic of Cyprus joined the organization in 2004.

Borders of Europe uncertain, so there has been much of debate in the eastern region. Where the African continent merges with parts of West Asia without separating the actual boundaries. The eastern region that most geographers now use does not include the Caucasus. Cover a small part of Kazakhstan, and it connects the European border. Formed on the northern coast of the Caspian Sea to the Emba River in Kazakhstan. And Mughalzhar Mountain (Mugodzhar). Ural South extends. The alternative limitations proposed by geographers have accepted.

One plan is to consider the Greater Caucasus Ridge as the dividing line. Between Europe and Asia and to place Ciscaucasia in the northern part of the Caucasus in Europe. Transcaucasia, in the south, and in Asia. Another supported plan is to place the western part of the Caucasus in Europe and the east. Most of Asia and the Russian coasts of Armenia, Georgia, and the Caspian Sea. Another plan with many believers is in the continental restricted areas along the Aras River. On the Turkish border, placing Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia in Europe.

For example, the absolute importance of the Himalayas, which marks the northern border of South Asian civilization. The inhabited plain has only a short break in the Ural Mountains. That extended from Central Europe to the Yenisei River in central Siberia. The Slavic civilization originated in most of the territory occupied by the former Soviet Union. From the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea to the Pacific Ocean.

Medieval Mongolia – The legacy of Tatar’s rule prevented many innovations and developments in European “Western civilizations”. Different from the rest of Europe. It became more unique in the relative isolation of the Soviet era. So, by dividing the world into important large geographic units. Most modern geographers view the former Soviet Union as a unique regional entity that rivals a continent. With the continent separating from Europe to the West and from Asia to the South. In the East; it has maintained this distinction in Russia, with Russia accounting for three-quarters of the Soviet Union.

Europe covers a part of ​​4 million square miles (10 million square kilometers) within the traditional borders assigned to it. This vast territory does not show a simple geological formation, comfort, relief or climate unit. Rocks from geological periods have exposed. Run geological forces in a huge epoch sequence has helped shape the landscapes of mountains. The Highlands, and lowlands, leaving behind a variety of mineral deposits.

Glaciers left traces on a large section, and the procedure of erosion and sedimentation has created a diverse and separate field. In terms of climate, only a small part of the surface benefits in Europe. Whether too cool or too hot and dry, cannot settle and use. But, regional climate comparisons: oceans, Mediterranean and continental types are widespread, as is graduate one to the other. Related vegetation and soil morphology showed continuous changes. But when humans first appeared, only main forests covered most of the continent.

Geological history

The geological record of continental Europe is a classic example of how a continent grows. The age of Precambrian rocks in Europe is 3.8 billion to 541 million years. It inherited them from the rocks of the Paleozoic era and lasted 252 million years ago; during the Mesozoic period, until 66 million years ago; and the new generation (the past 66 million years). Current European form did not appear until 5 million years ago. Rocks formed throughout the geological history of Europe. Structural reliefs and sedimentary basins have had a strong impact on today’s human activities.
