On a map of the world Europe appears
as a large peninsula on the Asian continent and is west
of a line of 1150 km drawn between the Black Sea and the
Baltic Sea, and in turn includes important peninsulas both
north (Scandinavia) and south (Iberian , Italian, Balkan)
and an island territory that accounts for 8% of the total.
This configuration explains the high extension of the coastline,
the extent of maritime influences, which temperano climate
and feed the precipitation the relative ease of life report.
The notion of Europe is a "geografismo" which qualifies
the historical and cultural particularities of a space that
for the physical geography, is an Asian subcontinent |
