Physical geography
As a continent, Europe is relatively small. Its physical landscapes, however, are varied and complex. Looking at the thematic maps of Europe in your atlas, you will notice the differences in climate, vegetation, and elevations: from the warm and dry Mediterranean climates in Southern Europe, to the frigid climates of Northern Scandinavia; from the moist woodlands of Western Europe, to the dry steppes in the eastern extremeties of Europe; and from the flat coastlands of the North Sea, to the majestic Alps.
The climates across Europe are determined mainly by lattitude, elevation, and location from the sea. The western winds blowing over the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea bring a lot of precipitation, while the eastern winds travelling over the Eurasian landmass bring dry air
