Europe
Europe's topography is characterized by a striking contrast between its rugged southern mountains and the expansive plains of the north. The continent is often described as a "peninsula of peninsulas," featuring major peninsulas like the Iberian, Italian, and Balkan, each with unique geological features. In the southern regions, mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Pyrenees rise dramatically, with elevations frequently exceeding 9,800 feet (3,000 meters). Moving northward, the terrain gradually descends into the Great European Plain, a vast lowland stretching from the Pyrenees in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east, where most elevations are below 1,640 feet (500 meters). This plain is interspersed with rolling hills and valleys, making it one of the most agriculturally productive areas in Europe, while also being historically significant due to its accessibility for trade and invasion. The northern regions, including Scandinavia and the British Isles, are marked by fjords and rugged uplands, contributing to a diverse and complex landscape across the continent.
