Answer 1

Answer:

Europe is the second smallest continent, the smallest being Australia. Its area, including the islands around the coast, is about 10 million square kilometers.

Europe is often described as a “peninsula of peninsulas.” A peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on three sides. It is roughly three times the size of India and smaller than China.

Location of Europe

A large part lies in the temperate zone as it stretches from 35°N to 80°N latitude.

Longitudinally, it stretches from 10°W to 60°E

The Prime Meridian passes through London. Prime Meridian passes through the UK, France, and Spain in Europe and Algeria, Mali, Burkina, Faso, Tongo, and Ghana in Africa.

In the north, though it stretches into the Arctic Circle, the Warm Gulf Stream keeps the ports ice-free.

The broad continent shelf on its west provides good fishing grounds and there are sheltered harbors along the indented coastline.

It has the longest coastline in proportion to size.
