A Peninsula of Peninsulas
(1) Europe forms the western peninsula of Eurasia, the landmass that includes Europe and Asia. A peninsula is land that is surrounded by water on three sides. There are several peninsulas in Europe, including the Italian, Scandinavian, and Iberian. There are also several islands such as Great Britain, Greenland, Ireland, Sicily, Iceland, and Corsica.
Major Landforms, Natural Resources, and Rivers
(2) Europe has different types of landforms such as mountains, plains, and plateaus. Its major land regions include the Western Highlands, North European Plains, Central Uplands, and Alpine region. The Western Highlands are made up of uplands, hills, mountains, and plateaus. The North European Plains, or Northern Lowlands, are made up of lowlands or plains that reach across northern Europe. The Central Uplands are hills, mountains, and plateaus located in the center of Europe. The Alpine region includes the Alps and several other mountain ranges. Iron ore is mined in the mountains and used to make iron, then steel. Steel is used to make products such as tools and cars. The valleys between the mountains in the Alps region contain fertile land that is good for growing crops.
(3) Europe has many navigable rivers, which means that boats and ships can travel easily on them. The Danube River, for example is an important trade and transportation route.
4) Many of the navigable rivers go through the North European Plain. The flat region stretches from France to Russia. The fertile soil on the plain makes it perfect for growing crops and there are many natural resources available in the region such as fish, natural gas, coal, and copper. The plain also contains some of the biggest and most heavily populated cities in Europe.
Exploration and Settlement
(5) Europe has over 24,000 miles of coastline that provide great access to waterways. In the 1400s, European explorers traveled major waterways to find natural resources, spread Christianity, and gain fame and glory for their mother country. Over time, people settled near Europe’s coastline. Some of the towns, such as Hamburg, Germany, became large cities as trade and business (industry) grew. Hamburg’s main navigable waterway, the Elbe River, became an important source for trade, connecting Hamburg to other major cities such as Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic. The Elbe River also flows into the North Sea.
