1 Let’s keep working …

2 Do Now How do the physical features of Europe compare to those in the United States? Explain your answer.

3 Information Chapter 12 – Physical Geography - assignment due yesterday Missing Assignments - hurting grades MIRPL Tutoring forms - before, lunch, after school tutoring options - incentive for attending

4 Current Events PSY breaks the internet - breaks the youtube counter - exceeds 2 billion hits Iran bombs ISIS in Iraq - airstrikes took place in Iraq - history of conflict between the two countries

5 Do Now How do the physical features of Europe compare to those in the United States? Explain your answer.

6 Europe: Peninsula of Peninsulas Peninsula - areas of land surrounded on three sides by water - continent has multiple peninsulas All areas near a waterway or within 300miles of the ocean - How would this affect development of the continent?

7 Major Peninsulas In the North… Scandinavian Peninsula - Norway, Sweden Jutland Peninsula - Denmark, part of Germany

8 Major Peninsulas In the South… Iberian Peninsula - Portugal, Spain - Pyrenees block off peninsula Italian Peninsula - Italy - 4700 miles of coastline Balkan Peninsula - Greece, Macedonia, Albania

9 TPS: In what way or ways would the physical features of Europe lead to development or how would this prevent development and exploration?

10 Islands Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland - all located in the North Atlantic Sicily, Corsica, Crete, Sardinia - all located in the Mediterranean Region

11 The Problems with Mountains… What are the problems associated with mountains? - Think: MIRPL

12 European Mountain Chains The Pyrenees - cut off Spain and Portugal on the Iberian Peninsula - allow for regional development The Apennines - the “spine” of Italy - divide Italy east-west

13 Mountains and Uplands - a difference in elevation Uplands - area with hills or low mountains, mesas and high plateaus - many areas are eroded mountains Kjolen Mountains (Scandinavia), Scottish Highlands, low area of Brittany in France Germany’s Central Uplands, at the base of the Alps

14 The Brittany Region - France Part of the Masiff Central - upland region of France Brittany is defined as a region – Explain what makes it a region…. MIRPL

15 Europe: A Network of Rivers Rivers move ideas, culture, people, goods, and connect regions The Danube and Rhine Rivers - major rivers of Europe Many navigable rivers - flow from interior to the sea - large enough for ships

16 Major Rivers Danube Rhine Flows through center of Europe From east to west flows through 9 countries links Europeans to the Black Sea 1,771 miles of river Flows from interior of Europe to the North Sea 820 miles flows through 6 countries important for defensive history

18 T-P-S Review the map on pp. 275 and analyze the rivers of Europe. Discuss the following question at your table: How does the direction in which European rivers flow aid in linking Europeans to the world?

19

20 Northern European Plain Fertile agricultural area of Europe - produced food for centuries - France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, and Poland Subject to invasion throughout history - flat land allows for easy travel for armies One third of Europe (33%) is suitable for farming.

21 Resources of Europe Read pp 276-277 (identify main ideas)

22 TOTD How is Europe unique in terms of physical land features? Explain.
