Physical Map of Europe

The Siberian Traps were formed by one of the largest-known volcanic events of the last 251million years of Earth's geological history. Their activity continued for a million years and some scientists consider it a possible cause of the " Great Dying" about 250million years ago, [19] – estimated to have killed 90% of species existing at the time. [20] The first great modern change in Siberia was the Trans-Siberian Railway, constructed during 1891–1916. It linked Siberia more closely to the rapidly industrialising Russia of Nicholas II ( r.1894–1917). Around seven million Russians moved to Siberia from Europe between 1801 and 1914. [37] Between 1859 and 1917 more than half a million people migrated to the Russian Far East. [38] Siberia has extensive natural resources: during the 20th century, large-scale exploitation of these took place, and industrial towns cropped up throughout the region. [39] The main rivers are the Danube, Rhine, Volga, Seine, Ural and Loire. The longest being the Danube. The main mountain ranges are The Alps, Pyrenees, Ural, Caucus and the Carpathian mountains. The highest mountain in Europe is situated in Russia and is called Mt Elbrus, it is 5642 meters high although the highest in Western Europe is Mt Blanc which is situated in France. What the the Europe Map looked like in 2019 is below Europe Map for 2019 We hear a lot about the wealth of Russia, and some Russians. In reality, it's in the hands of a few. While people might think it is early to be publishing a 2019 map of Europe, here at Europe political map we try to be ahead of the curve. This is possibly the best and most easily read political map of Europe very old map of europe

The largest ethnic group in Siberia is Slavic-origin Russians, including their sub-ethnic group Siberians, and russified Ukrainians. [95] Slavic and other Indo-European ethnicities make up the vast majority (over 85%) of the Siberian population. There are also other groups of Indigenous Siberian and non-Indigenous ethnic origin. A minority of the current population are descendants of Mongol or Turkic people (mainly Buryats, Yakuts, Tuvans, Altai and Khakas) ornorthern Indigenous people. Slavic-origin Russians outnumber all of the Indigenous peoples combined, except in the Republics of Tuva and Sakha. Benton, M. J. (2005).

In the early decades of the Soviet Union (especially in the 1930s and 1940s), the government used the Gulag state agency to administer a system of penal labour camps, replacing the previous katorga system. [41] According to semi-official Soviet estimates, which did not become public until after the fall of the Soviet government in 1991, from 1929 to 1953 more than 14million people passed through these camps and prisons, many of them in Siberia. Another seven to eight million people were internally deported to remote areas of the Soviet Union (including entire nationalities or ethnicities in several cases). [42]Simon: It's ten past six and we are just pulling in to the station. Now we've just stopped in Moscow. While not technically a political map of Europe in the strictest sense. This map tries to set a delineation between the European Union Countries and the rest of Europe. It also is an attempt to see how the other non European Union countries fit within the greater European region. Technically speaking go here, if you want to see a political map of Europe in the historical definition of the phrase. This area is mostly about conjecture and how Europe ties together as a continent. It will be updated regularly and this map may change and others will be added. The map above reveals the physical landscape of Europe. There are several important mountain ranges. The Pyrenese Mountains are the boundary between Spain and France. The Alps separate Italy from countries to the north. The Massif Central is in the southwest of France. In Greece are the Pindus Mountains and the Rhodope Mountains. The Caucasus Mountains separate Georgia and Azerbaijan from Russia. Eastern Europe has the Carpathian Mountains and the Transylvanian Alps. The Ural Mountains trend north-south through Russia, and most physical geographers consider them to be the dividing range between Europe and Asia.

The North Caucasus, far eastern Russia, and the western edge of the Kuznetsk Basin in southern Siberia contain an abundance of lead and zinc ores. These are commonly found along with copper, gold, silver, and a large amount of other rare metals. The country has one of the largest gold reserves in the world; mostly in Siberia and the Urals. Mercury deposits can be found in the central and southern Urals and in south-central Siberia. The highest point in Siberia is the active volcano Klyuchevskaya Sopka, on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Its peak reaches 4,750 metres (15,580ft). Jomon Culture and the peopling of the Japanese archipelago: advancements in the fields of morphometrics and ancient DNA". ResearchGate . Retrieved 18 August 2019. Other sources may use either a somewhat wider definition that states the Pacific coast, not the watershed, is the eastern boundary (thus including the whole Russian Far East), as well as all Northern Kazakhstan is its subregion in the south-west [3] or a somewhat narrower one that limits Siberia to the Siberian Federal District (thus excluding all subjects of other districts). [77] In Russian, 'Siberia' is commonly used as a substitute for the name of the federal district by those who live in the district itself, but less commonly used to denote the federal district by people residing outside of it. Due to the different interpretations of Siberia, starting from Tyumen, to Chita, the territory generally defined as 'Siberia', some people will define themselves as 'Siberian', while others not.

[24] The landscapes of region have extremely varied environments because of the following: The workforce involved in agriculture workforce was reported to be about 9.4% of the population in 2016. [25] Europe, the second smallest continent, is compact and culturally diverse, comprising approximately 50 sovereign states. For instance, France, the largest country in Western Europe, is known for its cultural richness and Paris, its romantic capital city. Its iconic landmarks include the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum. The region has paleontological significance, as it contains bodies of prehistoric animals from the Pleistocene Epoch, preserved in ice or in permafrost. Specimens of Goldfuss cave lion cubs, Yuka the mammoth and another woolly mammoth from Oymyakon, a woolly rhinoceros from the Kolyma, and bison and horses from Yukagir have been found. [21] Remote Wrangel Island and the Taymyr Peninsula are believed to have been the last places on Earth to support woolly mammoths as isolated populations until their extinction around 2000 BC. [22]
