3. Identify the four main physical landforms of Europe. What are the main features of each? The four major landforms of Europe include the Western Uplands, North European Plain, Central Uplands and Alpine Mountains. These landforms are primarily arranged in bands that run from east to west. Each landform provides a biodiversity and resources for humans. The Western Uplands are formed of ancient rock that has been shaped by glaciation and shapes the north and west coastline of Europe. It includes Spain, French Brittany, Scandinavia, and the British Isles. The North European Plain is low and fertile and has rivers. It goes from southern Britain through the middle of Europe to Russia. The Central Uplands are mostly wooded hills and highlands in France, Belgium, southern Germany, and the Czech Republic. The Alpine Mountains have high mountain peaks and active volcanoes that run from northern Spain across southern Europe to the Caucasus in Russia. The High Alps range from eastern France to Slovenia and are central to the Alpine region. Mountains act as a natural dividing range and can also isolate people and separate cultural groups. The Central Uplands is the area bordering the main Alps to the north, which includes a significant portion of southern Germany extending eastward. These foothills provide excellent farmland, and there are major agricultural operations here. Western Highlands offer an area for grazing livestock and farming in the meadows and valleys. The Scottish
Landforms: New Orleans, Louisiana has a river named Mississippi Rivers, wet marsh land, Sabine uplifts are Shallow, muddy seas advanced and retreated over the coastal and river plains many times, and gray clay deposited under these seas now forms the aquifers of northern Louisiana. Which are and has no mountains; they also have Coastal wetlands is a river on steep terrain moves rapidly and picks up sediments, but on flat terrain, rivers move slowly and drop sediments. It also has Salt Domes which also London doesn’t have either. In London England has hills named the Cheviot Hills which are located in England and are a range of low mountains forming a border between England and Scotland. They extend 35 miles (56 km) is a north-eastern to south-western direction. The hills are part of the Northumberland National Park. They have Pennines which are located in the north; they are a large chain of limestone hills with moorland tops rising to between 600 and 900 metres. The chain runs from Scotland to halfway down the length of England, splitting northern England into northwest and northeast sectors. The Pennines are sometimes called the backbone of England. Other names for the Pennines are Pennine Chain or Pennine Hills. They have mountains named Cumbrian Mountains. They also have lakes
b. European Peninsula. c. Alpine Mountain System. d. Northern European Plain. 3. What plentiful natural resource fueled the industrialization of Europe in the 1800s?
This area is what anchored North America in the northeast. Covered in a layer of topsoil.
In the chapter on Europe it stated that was the second smallest continent of the seven and it covering roughly 2% of the earth’s surface. Europe is divided into four physical landscapes. The four physical landscapes are Central Uplands, Alpine Mountains, Western Uplands, and the Northern European Lowlands. The first landscape was the Central Uplands which has a range of hills and plateaus. The farm lands that were there grew into cities and towns after the Industrial Revolution turned this land into what it is today.
Mountains region of the major Land Resource Areas as defined by the Natural Resource Conservation Service. This area is defined by its rounded mountains and foothills as well as its mixed forest of northern hardwoods, fir and spruce. High gradient streams flow into swamps and lakes in the steep valleys. These characteristics create a unique ecosystem that provides many services for people and wildlife. Land features in this area are generally fairly steep to very steep with a range in elevation from
The formation of Earth and other planetary bodies through the processes of condensation and accretion was essentially complete _____ years ago.
The British Isles are a large set of islands located in the northern hemisphere, and are comprised of a mild climate and varied soils, as well as also being home to a diverse pattern of vegetation and a climatic-climax community of deciduous woodland. These isles are home to many ecosystems, in which they are a dynamic interlinked system characterised by the interaction of plants and animals that are shared with each other, being that organic and non-organic components of the environment. The British Isles are an example of a Lithosere succession, with the Lithosere as its primary succession (although not its only type of natural succession), meaning that the area began as a rock based environment, and succeeded into a plant and deciduous based
The Plains take second place! This region was created when soils by rivers and lakes from the Canadian Shield were deposited at this regions edge. In addition, sedimentary rock was formed from these deposits, which became huge areas of flat, fertile lands, river valleys, and rolling hills. To add, there are three flat levels and each consists of hills, cliffs, low mountains, forests, wide river valleys, and sand

This biome is located in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere and is in North America, Asia, and Europe. It stretches across Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia spreading through the Northern
This biome is large community of plants and animals..Also, biomes, such as the forest, freshwater, and marine,may have more consequences . The most imports biomes are the freshwater and marine because those biomes help us get water to drink and for the crops and the marine biome is also important the study of the between people and the physical environment of the sea.
and Russia (“The Steppes”). They extend from the Danube River to the Pacific Ocean. The Eurasian
The Southern Uplands is somewhat similar to that of the Northern Uplands in the likeness that it also contains savannas and grassy woodlands. Beginning on the southern end of the central basin, this region has an average elevation of about 2,730 feet above sea level, having fertile soils and retaining may of the countries mineral deposits it allows for the locals to grow grains and raise cattle.
The five themes of geography consist of the location, place, human environment interactions, movement, and regions of a place. These categories are also split up into for location and are relative, or the to refer to something next to it as a direction to find this location. Absolute location is the exact coordinates or direction for an location. There 's also two parts the physical characteristics, which is the land, ecosystem, and the
Mountain ranges on the eastern border of Russia include Dzhugdzhur Khrebet, Khrebet Gydan, and Khrebet Gydan. All of the mountain ranges that define the eastern and southern borders, as well as the Ural Mountains create an area in west Russia in which there is little vegetation and harsh weather.
