EUROPE TEST

Hi!!! Here you have the main contents for next test.

THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE

A continent is a large area of land usually surrounded by water.

Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea in the south and the Caspian Sea in the southeast.

Europe's eastern boundary is an imaginary line that runs along the Ural Mountains in the north, then follows the Ural river to the Caspian Sea.

Some countries such as Russia, Turkey and Georgia are split between Europe and Asia. These are called transcontinental countries. Istanbul is a transcontinental city.

Europe is made up of the mainland, as well as large islands, such as Ireland and Great Britain, and archipelagos, such as the Canary Islands or the Azores.



PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY

Mountains and plains

Northern Europe is mostly flat, but there are some older, lower mountains, such as the Massif Central in France, the Scandinavian Mountains and the Ural Mountains. The Great European Plain is a huge expanse of low, generally flat land across central and eastern Europe.

Southern Europe is the most mountainous region. The mountains form a line parallel to the Mediterranean Sea, and include the Alps, the Apennines, the Carpathians, the Balkan Mountains and the Caucasus Mountains.


Oceans and Seas

Europe's main oceans and seas are:

  • the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean
  • the Mediterranean, Caspian, Black, North and Baltic Sea.
Lakes

Central Europe has many small lakes, such as Lake Geneva and Lake Constance. Europe's larger lakes are in the north. Lake Ladoga in Russia is the largest lake on the continent.

Rivers

Europe's many rivers flow into five main watersheds:
  • Arctic watershed: Rivers here are long with high flow. They usually freeze in winter. Examples: Pechora and Northern Dvina.

  • Atlantic watershed: Rivers are short with a high flow of water. Some important rivers: Rhine, Seine and Elbe.

  • Mediterranean watershed: Short rivers with irregular flow due to low precipitation in the summer. Examples: Po and Rône.

  • Caspian Sea and Black Sea watersheds. These two watersheds have long rivers with a regular flow in Central Europe. Examples: Volga and Danube.

TERRITORIAL ORGANISATION


There are 17 autonomous communities and 2 autonomous cities (Ceuta and Melilla) in Spain.
Depending on its  size, each autonomous community has one or more provinces. Provinces are divided into municipalities.

REGIONAL GOVERNMENT


Elections for autonomous communities are held every four years. Citizens vote for representatives called deputies. The deputies form the Parliament and elect a President to head the Parliament. The president chooses the councillors.

A Statute of Autonomy defines de powers of an autonomous community or city. The elements of a Statute of Autonomy are:
  • Territory and capital city
  • Official language or languages
  • Legal power and government institutions
  • Symbols such as the flag, anthem and coat of arms.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Most provinces have a diputación made up of representatives from the different municipalities. The diputación helps to coordinate local services.

Municipal elections are held every four years to choose representatives called councillors. The councillors choose the mayor.
