Geography of Europe
![Page 2: Geography of Europe. Europe is a peninsula made of many other peninsulas. Peninsula: a piece of land that is surrounded by water on all sides but one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca24a6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• Europe is a peninsula made of many other peninsulas.
• Peninsula: a piece of land that is surrounded by water on all sides but one.
• What countries are located on peninsulas?
![Page 3: Geography of Europe. Europe is a peninsula made of many other peninsulas. Peninsula: a piece of land that is surrounded by water on all sides but one](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca24a6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Coastline: • Jagged and irregular (What does that create?)
• Surrounded by ocean and Seas
Europe is 1/3rd the size of Africa but has 3 times the coastline.
No part of Western Europe is more than 400 miles from the sea.

Effects of Coastline:• Great for trade and transportation
• Creates interdependence: when nations or areas of the world depend upon each other.

Effects of the Alps
• This large mountain range limits cultural diffusion and creates cultural diversity.
• For example: France and Italy boarder each other but speak different languages because they were separated by the mountains.

Effects of Rivers
• Rivers are fantastic for transportation
• Allowed people to have access to oceans, seas and other rivers to travel throughout Europe.
• Travel through Europe via rivers encourages interdependence. (again!)
