Danube River This river is the second longest river in Europe. Important shipping route across the continent. The Danube flows from west to east from Germany to the Black Sea. It either flows through or forms the border of ten countries.
Rhine River The Rhine originates in the Swiss Alps mountain range and flows northwest to the North Sea. Throughout history, Europeans have depended on the Rhine to ship goods throughout the continent. The river has had a major influence on the history and economy of Europe.
North European Plain (NEP) The plain is a vast, flat area stretching from France’s Atlantic coast to the Ural Mountains in Russia. This region has rich farmland and some of the largest cities in Europe, like Paris, Berlin, and Moscow.
Alps The Alps are a magnificent mountain range in south- central Europe stretching from eastern France and northern Italy through Switzerland and Austria. Snowmelt from the Alps pours into many of Europe’s rivers.
Scandinavian Peninsula This peninsula in northern Europe is occupied by Norway, Sweden, and Finland. This mountainous region is bordered on the north by the Barents Sea, a section of the Arctic Ocean.
