Europe's Realm Reviewer

Europe has four main landforms: the Alpine region, Central Uplands, Northern Lowlands, and Western Highlands. Two major rivers divide Europe - the Danube River flows east through cities like Vienna before emptying into the Black Sea, and the Rhine River flows north and empties into the North Sea. Europe has a moderate climate due to influences like the Gulf Stream and bodies of water surrounding it. Natural resources include iron ore, copper, fish, and the climate and geography have influenced how Europe is divided into regions.
