Sometimes called the "peninsula of peninsulas"
Very diverse depending on location.
Mountains on the north (Scandinavia) and southern Europe.
Rivers have always been a dominant influence in Europe, rivers such as the Rhone in France.
Venice Italy: canals
Warmer temp nit in the mountains
Along the coast- Mediterranean climate
Northern temp decrease- moving away from the equator
Much of Europe has changed to human interactions on the environment
Once covered in forests and naturel vegetation today much of Europe has been urbanized
Half the size of the US yet it has 375million people
Some places have some of the highest pop. Densities in the world
Two areas which are extremely dense: England and France
2/3 of Europe people live in 4 countries England Germany France Italy
Multilingual region
Romance languages
Shared beliefs in Christianity
Minority believe in Jewish Islamic religions
Chunnel tunnel England France
NOETIC NATIONS
Location and cultural similarities define northern Europe as a region.
Strong and varied economics.
Area of Iceland Norway Sweden Denmark and Finland.
Northern Europeans call the land Norden meaning northland
Unified by location and cultural bonds
Latitudes comparable to Alaska
Parts of Nordic countries reach the artic circle
Varied landscape not a single land form, (peninsulas, islands) terrains varies dramatically
Ice land is a product of volcanic action along the north American and Eurasian tectonic plate
Plates moved apart and molten rock moved upward creating new land
Called the land of fire and ice
Winter is a way of life in the Nordic nation
Long winters and short summers due to their northern location
In mid winter sun may shine 2-3 hours in mid summer it may shine 20 hours
Northern Lights: atomic particles attracted to the earths magnetic field
Milder climates than one might expect
Do the ocean warm currents
