Answer:

Physical Features

Europe is essentially the western peninsula of the Eurasian continent, and as a continental peninsula, it has many other smaller peninsulas: the Iberian peninsula, the Italian peninsula, the scandinavian peninsula, and so on. This means that European geography has several seas, inlets and ports, which have determined European culture and history.

The European continent is mostly flat, but it has some important mountain ranges: the Alps, the Pyrennees, the Carpathian Mountains, and the Caucasus Mountains.

As for rivers, they are abundant in Europe, and the most important are the Danube, the Rhin, the Volga, the Dnieper, the Don, the Vistula, and the Loire.

Energy Sources:

Most of the European Continent is devoid of oil and gas reserves, with the only remarkable reserves in the North Sea, shared by the UK and Norway, and in the Caspian Sea, specially around the Caspian Sea.

More abundant Energy sources in Europe are coal, very abundant in countries like Germany and Poland, and hydropower, in countries like Norway and Switzerland.

Finally, nuclear energy is also an important source, specially in France.
