What mountains form part of the europe-asia boundary?

The Urals and the Caucasus are two mountain ranges that act as boundaries between Europe and Asia. Both are located in Eastern Europe; however, the Urals act as a west-east boundary while the Caucasus act as a north-south boundary.** If you asked, "What mountains are apart of the boundary between Europe and Asia," watch your spelling. "Apart" and "A part" are completely different. If you DID mean that, then every single mountain in all of existence except those stated above. **

No. If you mean climate regions, these depend mostly on altitude, not if they belong to a certain area within those mountain ranges.

What contint are these countries on china India japan Vietnam and Thailand?

All NATIONS, from Spain to China...and everything in between...Europe included, are on the continent of Eurasia. Geographically (physically) you can ride a bicycle from Portugal or Spain, through France, etc. all the way to China. Or from France to India or Thailand. There is NO ocean to stop you. Man has created artificial boundaries: he calls them "Borders." And he names them: The continent of Europe and the continent of Asia. When physically, there is no such border (with the exception of man made signs, fences or walls). And "if" anyone tells you that the Caucasus or Ural Mountain ranges separate Europe from Asia; they will be correct. Those two ranges are the traditional boundaries separating Asia from Europe. However, if someone tells you that those two ranges separate Europe and Asia into two different continents; then you can simply reply, "if that's true, then the Rocky Mountains in North America separate the North America's into two separate continents." Which means, they would be wrong; since the Rocky's do NOT divide the North American continent into two different continents. North America's Rocky Mountains are simply a mountain range, just the like the Caucasus or Urals.
