Central Highlands of Europe :
The Central Highlands are a physical division of Europe. Some of its characteristics are:
To the south of the Central Plains are located series of plateaus and mountains. The mountains are made up of old rocks and are not of great height.
The Central Highlands include number of plateaus like the Plateau of Spain, the Vogues in France, the Black Forests in Germany etc.
The Central Highlands are largely forested. Wide valleys have been formed in the region by the rivers Rhine and Rhone. The region has rich coal deposits.
The Ural Mountains that separates Europe form Asia are also a part of the Central Highlands.
Southern Highlands of Europe :
A world of peninsulas and islands, southern Europe is subject to its own climatic regime, with fragmented but predominantly mountain and plateau landscapes. The Iberian Peninsula features interior tablelands of Paleozoic rocks that are flanked by mountains of Alpine type. The restricted lowlands lie within interior basins or fringe the coasts; those of Portugal, North Macedonia, Thrace (in the southeastern Balkans), and northern Italy are relatively large. Runoff from the Alps furnishes much water for electricity-generating stations as well as for the flow regimes of major rivers.
