1. THE WORLD.
1.1. Continents
The world is formed by continents and oceans.
There are six continents: Europe, Asia, Africa,
America, Oceania and Antarctica. Now, lets learn
some characteristics about them:
Europe: Europe is the world's second smallest
continent in surface area, covering about
10,180,000 square kilometres. Out of Europe's
approximately 50 states, Russia is the largest by both
area and population, while Vatican City is the
smallest. Europe is the third most populated continent
after Asia and Africa, with a population of 731 million
or about 11% of the world's population; it is next to
Asia and it is a rich continent.
Asia: Asia is the world's biggest and most
populated continent, located in the eastern and
northern hemispheres. It covers 8.6% of the earth's
total surface area (or 29.9% of its land area) and with
approximately 4 billion people, it is bordered on the
east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian
Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. The
wealth of Asia differs greatly between each region.
This is due to its vast size and huge range of different
cultures, environments, historical ties and government
systems. In terms of nominal GDP, Japan has the
largest economy on the continent and the second
largest in the world.

Africa is the world's second-largest and second

most populated continent, after Asia at about 30.2
million km. It covers 6% of the Earth's total surface
area and 20.4% of the total land area. With a billion
people in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.8% of
the world's human population. The continent is
bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on
the northeast by both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea
along the Sinai Peninsula, on the southeast by the
Indian Ocean, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean.
Africa is the hottest and poorest continent.
The Americas, or America, are the lands
In the Western hemisphere or New World, comprising
of the continents of North America and South America
with their associated islands and regions. America can
be ambiguous in English, as it is more commonly used
to refer to the United States of America. The Americas
cover 8.3% of the Earth's total surface area (28.4% of
its land area) and contain about 13.5% of the human
population (about 900 million people). America is the
longest continent.
Oceania (sometimes Oceanica) is a
geographical region consisting of numerous land
masses, mostly islands in the Pacific Ocean. The
boundaries of Oceania are defined in a number of
ways. Most definitions recognize parts of Australasia
such as Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea, and
part of Maritime Southeast Asia as being parts of
Oceania. Oceania is the smallest continent.
Antarctica is situated in the Antarctic region of
the southern hemisphere, almost entirely south of the
Antarctic Circle. With 14.0 million km it is the fifthlargest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North
America, and South America. About 98% of Antarctica
is covered by ice.
Antarctica
1.2. Oceans
Oceans are huge extensions of salt water. Seas are smaller than oceans and
are near the continents. The planet is approximately 71% water and contains
five oceans, including the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern.
Pacific (155,557,000 sq km)
Atlantic (76,762,000 sq km)
Indian (68,556,000 sq km)
Southern (20,327,000 sq km)
Arctic (14,056,000 sq km)

The world consists of and oceans. There are six continents; Europe, Africa,
America, , Asia and Antarctica. There are five oceans; The Arctic, Atlantic,
Indian Pacific and Southern oceans. Europe is surrounded largely by water. Some of
the different geographical features in Europe are, capes, bays, straits and
. The main rivers of Europe are grouped into five slopes; Arctic, Atlantic,
Mediterranean, Black sea and Sea slopes

OUR CONTINENT: EUROPE
2.1. Types of relief.

In Europe, there are two types of relief: the
central plain and the system of mountains.
The Central Plain The central plain extends
from the central to the west of the continent and

opens in a triangular shape from the Atlantic Ocean as
far as the border of Asia. In some zones of the plains,
there are massifs, which are eroded mountains in
low altitude regions, much like the French Central
Massif.
Mountain systems In the south, the
The Pyrenees are a range of

mountains in southwest Europe
that form a natural border
between France and Spain
mountain systems border the Mediterranean Sea and

are formed by high mountains, like the Pyrenees,
Alps, Apennines, Carpathian, Balkan and the
Caucasus. In the north, the mountain systems are
lower, like the Scandinavian mountains.

2.2. Coastal relief.

Europe is a continent largely surrounded by
sea. Its coast is jagged. These are some of the most
important examples of coastal relief:
The Scandinavian Peninsula of Jutland, Iberica,
Italy and Balkan Region.
The Bay of Biscay, Geneva, Finland and
Bontnia.
The Peninsula of Iberica is one
of the biggest peninsulas in
Europe. We live on it.
The capes Fisterra, North and Matapan.
The straits of Gibraltar and Bosporus, Ireland,
Malta and Cyprus.
The islands of Iceland, Great Britain, Ireland,
Malta and Cyprus.

2.3. The European rivers
In Europe, there are many rivers most of which are waterways. These rivers
are grouped into five slopes.
Arctic Slope rivers with abundant volumes of water in spring and
autumn, but which remain frozen in the winter. Highlights include the northern
Dvina River and the Pechora.
Atlantic Slope These are flowing rivers. The Western Dvina, Vistula,
Oder, Elba, Rhine, Sena, Loire and Tagus contain large volumes of water all year
around.
Mediterranean Slope irregular rivers with low volumes of water
because it does not rain too much. The most important are the Ebro, Rhone and the
Po.
Black Sea Slope Some of the most important rivers in Europe flow into
this sea like the Don, Dnieper, Dniester and the Danube.
Caspian Sea Slope This is a sea which connects to the Volga River, the
largest in the continent. Also, there is the Ural River, which borders both Europe
and Asia.
There are also many large lakes in Europe. The largest are the Ladoga and
the Onega.

The world is formed by continents and oceans. There are six continents:
Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Oceania and Antarctica.
The planet is approximately 71% water and contains five oceans,
including the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern.
We can distinguish two types of relief: the central plain (Eastern Europe
plain) and the system of mountains (like the Pyrenees, Alps, Apennines,
Carpathian, Balkan and the Caucasus).
Europe is a continent surrounded in large parts by the sea. These are
some of the most important geographical aspects: peninsula, bay, capes, straits
and islands.
In Europe, there are many rivers most of which are waterways. These
rivers are grouped into five slopes: Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black sea and Caspian
slope.

2.4. Climate in Europe

Most of Europe is in the warm zone of the northern hemisphere
and has a temperate climate with three variants: Mediterranean climate,
Continental climate and Atlantic climate.
Only a small portion of Europes territory is in a cold zone and has a polar
climate, which is of course, in the north.
In the majority of our mountain systems there is a mountain climate.
In the Canary Islands, there is a Subtropical climate which is characterized
by mild temperatures and low rainfall.

2.4.1.Meditarranean Europe
The Mediterranean climate is situated in the
southern part of the continent, in regions close to the
Mediterranean Sea. It is distinct because of its mild
winters and hot summers. Rainfall is low and irregular
and concentrated mostly in autumn and spring.
In regions with a Mediterranean climate, bushes,
shrubs, evergreen trees, oak trees and the
Mediterranean pine trees are common.
Mediterranean Forest
2.4.2. Continental Europe
Taigas are huge extensions of

pines and firs forests
Continental climate refers to central and eastern

Europe. The temperatures are extreme: the winters are
cold and the summers are hot.
Rainfall generally occurs in summer and is low in
quantity. During the winter, water falls from the sky in
the form of snow.
In the regions with a Continental climate there are
prairies, which are extensions of land formed from tall
grass and by steppes, which are poor in vegetation.
In colder regions, situated more in the north, there
are taigas. A taiga is a forest with many pines and firs.
2.4.3. Atlantic Europe

The Atlantic climate is situated in the western part
of Europe. It is characterized by a mild winter and
summer season, with abundant rainfall over the entire
year.
Deciduous trees, such as oak and beech are
common in the Atlantic climate regions. The areas
closest to the coast are characterized by a heath, an
area of shrubs, herbs and grasses.

2.5. Countries in Europe.

Europe is the sixth biggest of the seven continents.
It covers 10,180,000 square kilometres which is 2 per
cent of the surface of the Earth. To the north of Europe
lies the Arctic Ocean and to the west, the Atlantic
Ocean. To the south, Europe is separated from Africa by
the Mediterranean Sea and to the east, is the Caspian
Sea. Nowadays in Europe, there are 47 independent
states. Some of them, like France, were formed
centuries ago. Other countries have had big changes in
the last few decades, such as Germany and the Czech

Europe has 735 million inhabitants. The average
population
density is 73.5 habitants/km2, although
there are large differences from one region to another.
The most highly populated areas are in the
large cities and industrial zones in the central and
western regions. For example, the basin of the Ruhr
River is the most industrial region of Germany, with a
population density exceeding 500 habitants/km2.
The least populated areas are the regions with
cold climates and high mountains. For example, Finland
has a population density of only 17 habitants/km2.
In large cities such as: Paris,

Moscow, London, Berlin there
is a dense population.

What is the landscape of Europe like?

Europe is more mountainous towards the south,
which also has some of the best beaches, on the
Mediterranean coast. The Alps cover parts of Austria,
Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, France and
Germany. Although the Alps have high peaks like Mont
Blanc and Piz Bernina, the highest peak in Europe is
Mount Elbrus in Russia, 5,642 metres (18,510 feet), in
the Caucasus range. Moving beyond the Alps, the
Pyrenees and the Carpathians, the land rolls into the
Great European Plain. The British Isles are separated
from the rest of the continent by the English Channel and
the North Sea.
What languages are spoken in Europe?
As many as 41 languages are spoken in different
parts of Europe. Some of the languages, such as English,
French, Spanish, German and Russian, are spoken by
millions of people in many countries all over the world.
Does Europe have forests?
Centuries ago, about 90 per cent of Europe was
covered in forest. Now, more than half of this has been
cut down. However, in countries like Finland, 72 per cent
of the land is still covered by forests. Evergreen and
deciduous forests cover most ground. Coniferous forests
are found in Scandinavia and parts of Russia and
Ukraine. Further north is the taiga region with forests of
spruce and pine. The Mediterranean region has cork oak
forests, cypress trees and olives.
