What is the most powerful country in Europe?
The offical answer, by looking at different areas, not by saying that 'my country is the most powerful' or is most powerful after Russia, the U.S and China', show that there is more than one answer.
In a list, it would come out as:
1) Germany and The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northen Ireland*
2) France
3) Spain
This is because of the fact of the size and rates of Economies and Military power in these countires.
The reasons for a tie for First place is:
Germany has a huge economy and a very decent Military, with the U.K having one of the best skilled, most experienced and well trained Military with a large economy; Although France does have a larger budget for it's military forces, the U.K does have a better Miltary and more assembled Navy.
The United Kingdom and Germany also do have very large influences Politically and with culture, for example the British Royal Family. They both are importaint members of the European Union too. In comparison to some other countries, the sort of their export is more influential and have much more global power.
France got Second place becuase of it's stable enough economy and it having a large Military. It's influence in the European Union is strong and it exports it's cultural traditions.
Spain got Third Place as it has a large economy, although it is depending on Tourisim. As well as this it has a decent Military and exports food and holiday items which are both in demand.
I hope this helped you.
* Russia was not counted as it is a more Asian nation, although probably would be joint in First or Second place as it has a strong economy and Military, with heavy influence in Asia.

How do Europe's landforms and climates vary by region?
Some parts of Europe are mountainous and some are flat. There are many mountainous regions in Southern Europe. Most of Northern Europe is part of the cast Northern European Plain. The Northern European Plain also consists of most of Europe's major rivers. The climate of Southern Europe is very warm and sunny and as a result, shrubs and trees that don't need a lot of water are common there. Northern Europe, near Scandinavia, is the total opposite. It is very cold and snowy throughout the year. Northwestern Europe, on the other hand, is in between these two parts of Europe. It is mild, cooler, and wetter. Cold winds from the north and northeast bring freezing weather in winter. This is how Europe's landforms and climates vary by region.
