Why does Western Europe experience less extreme climate variation than other parts of the world at similar northern latitudes?
Western Europe's moderate climate is influenced by the warming effects of the North Atlantic Current (part of the Gulf Stream), which brings warm waters from the Gulf of Mexico. This helps to moderate temperatures and create milder winters compared to other regions at similar latitudes. Additionally, the presence of mountain ranges like the Alps and the Pyrenees help to block cold air masses from moving into the region, further stabilizing the climate.
Toward what bodies of water do the rivers of western Europe flow?
The rivers of western Europe flow toward the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea.
Why was Alfred Wegener interested in Greenland?
Alfred Wegener was interested in Greenland because he believed it provided valuable evidence to support his theory of continental drift. He saw geological similarities between Greenland and Europe, which led him to propose that the continents were once connected and had drifted apart over time. Greenland's position on the edge of the North American plate made it a key piece of evidence for Wegener's theory.
The ural mountais formed as a result of the collision of Europe with asiathe urals are therefore most likely to be?
The Ural mountains formed as a result of the collision of Europe with Asia and are folded mountains. Fold mountains are mountain ranges that are formed when two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust push together at their border. The extreme pressure forces the edges of the plates upwards into a series of folds.
What rock types support the therory of pangaea?
The distribution of similar rock types across continents that were once part of Pangaea, such as the Appalachian mountains in North America aligning with the Caledonian mountains in Europe and North Africa, supports the theory of Pangaea. Additionally, identical fossils, coal deposits, and rock formations found on different continents provide further evidence for the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea.
Are the Appalachian mountains in Greenland and western Europe?
The Appalachian Mountains are located in the eastern United States. The Appalachian Mountains, mountains in Greenland and those in western Europe (the Scottish Highlands) have similar rock layers. This similarity in rock layers was noted by Alfred Wegener and used as evidence to support his hypothesis of continental drift.
Similar rock structures exist in the Appalachian Mountains and in Greenland and western Europe?
True. This is all because of continental drift
Mountains similar to those in Greenland and water Europe?
The Scandinavian Mountains in Norway and Sweden have similar rugged and glacier-covered terrain to Greenland. In terms of water, Europe is surrounded by various bodies of water, including the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and North Sea, providing abundant opportunities for coastal activities.
Are there any mountains in West Europe?
There are many mountain ranges in western Europe and so there are hundreds of mountains.
What forms the alpine mountains in Europe?
The Alps are in Central/Western Europe.
Which continents do the Ural mountains separate?
The Ural Mountains separate Europe and Asia. The western side of the mountains is in Europe, specifically in Russia, while the eastern side is in Asia.
The Ural Mountains form the western boundary for which continent?
The Ural Mountains form the western boundary for the continent of Asia.
Which is bigger - Europe or Greenland?
Europe is vast compared to Greenland. So Europe is bigger.

What are the two highest mountains in western Europe?
Mont Blanc and Monte Rosa.
What are four European physiographic regions?
Four major landscape units of Europe are as follows:The North-western HighlandsThe central LowlandsThe Central UplandsThe Alpine mountains
Jura mountains are located in which country?
