Answer:

explained

Step-by-step explanation:

Europe has four main landforms, many islands and peninsulas, and various climate types. The four main landforms include the Alpine region, Central Uplands, Northern Lowlands, and Western Highlands. Each represents a different physical part of Europe. Navigable rivers and harbors provide many European cities with trading ports. Western Europe and Eastern Europe were divided by an imaginary boundary called the Iron Curtain. Europe has mainly benefited from its location and major physical features by having a temperate climate that sustains heavy use of agriculture, as well as possessing considerable natural resources. Also, Europe's location provides access to Asia by land, Africa and the Americas by sea (fairly central location) Europe can be divided into four major physical regions, running from north to south: Western Uplands, North European Plain, Central Uplands, and Alpine Mountains. In the east, the Ural Mountains separate Europe from Asia. The nations of Russia and Kazakhstan straddle both continents. Another range, the Kjølen Mountains, extends along the northern part of the border between Sweden and Norway.
