Geography of Europe's Land and Cultural Features

Ocean and Freshwater Detail

The Europe Political Map shows ocean depths with blue color shading. Shallow areas are marked with pale blue colors and deeper areas are darker blue. This allows you to easily see the that the North Sea and Barents Sea are very shallow and understand why they can support oil and natural gas drilling. Europe's many important rivers, inland lakes, and the Fjords of Scandinavia are visible on this map. In some areas like the Aegean Sea or the Croatian coast on the Adriatic Sea, there are large numbers of islands.

About the Geography of Europe

Europe occupies the western portion of the landmass known as "Eurasia". It has a broad land connection to Asia, the other half of the Eurasian landmass. Europe and Asia are unusual as continents because of this broad connection. In addition, many islands in the Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, and other bodies of water are considered to be part of "Europe". Because of these broad boundaries, the area known as "Europe" is arbitrarily defined and subject to disagreement among scholars, geographers and nations.
