Northern European Plain

- low lands that cover most of Europe.- located between the Central European Highlands to the south and the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to the north.- mostly farmland, but the region also contains bogs, heath, and lakes.

The AlpsThe Alps are a great

mountain range system. It stretches from Austria and Slovania in the east; through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstin, and Germany; to France in the west. The highest mountain in the Alps is Mount Blanc reaching about 15,000 feet. They are stunningly beautiful and extend for almost 700 miles. They bring a lot of tourists for skiing in the winter and many more activities in all seasons.

The Thames River is the longest river in England & the 2nd longest river in the U.K. it goes through many towns such as London, Oxford, Reading, and Windsor. It is used for water power, food & drink, and also used for transportation. Recently the river has become a major leisure area for tourists.

Apennines (mountains)

By: Kenzie Filer, Hannah Montague, and Jessica Stanley

Apennines (mountains)

• Series of mountain ranges bordered by coastlands.

• Form a great arc which extends as far as Egadi islands.

• They are 870 miles long• The width ranges from 25-125 miles.• Mount Como is the highest point at 9554 ft.• They are also one of the younger ranges of the Alpine system.

Aegean Sea

Throughout the entire Aegean shoreline—that is, both the continental shores surrounding the Aegean Sea and those of the islands—bays, ports, and shelter creeks are also abundant. These also facilitated the task of seamen traveling in the Aegean Sea, making longer voyages possible at a time when shipbuilding was in its infancy. For its size, no other maritime area of the Mediterranean has comparable shoreline development.

Aegean Sea

The maximum depth of the Aegean is to be found east of Crete, where it reaches 11,627 feet (3,544 metres). The rocks making up the floor of the Aegean are mainly limestone, though often greatly altered by volcanic activity that has convulsed the region in relatively recent geologic times. The richly coloured sediments in the region of the islands of Thera (Santoríni, or Thíra) and Melos (Mílos), in the south Aegean, are particularly interesting. During the 1970s, Thera in particular became a topic of major international scientific importance, analysis of its surrounding sediments having been linked with a possible explanation of the ancient legend of the lost island of Atlantis.
