Did you know ....?
The term 'Europe' has multiple uses. Its principle ones are
political and geographical.
* Politically, Europe comprises those countries in the European
Union, but may at times be used more casually to refer to
both the EU together with other non-EU countries generally,
in the same region.
* Physically and geographically, Europe is the westmost
peninsula of the continent of Eurasia; its limits are well
defined by sea to the North, South and West, and by a slightly
arbitrary boundary discussed below on the east and south-eastern
side. The Ural mountains are usually taken as the eastern
limit of Europe; certainly points beyond are not usually considered
to be part of the continent.
In addition, people in countries such as Ireland, Great Britain,
Scandinavia and the Mediterranean islands, may routinely refer
to "continental" or "mainland" Europe
(or simply "the Continent"), as a term for the main
land mass containing countries such as France |

Europe is one of the seven traditional continents of the Earth.
Physically and geologically, Europe is the westernmost peninsula
of Eurasia, west of Asia. Europe is bounded to the north by the
Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by
the Mediterranean Sea, to the southeast by the Caucasus Mountains
and the Black Sea and the waterways connecting the Black Sea to
the Mediterranean. To the east, Europe is generally divided from
Asia by the water divide of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River,
and by the Caspian Sea.[1]
Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area,
covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000 sq mi) or
2.0% of the Earth's surface. The only continent smaller than Europe
is Australia. Of Europe's 48 countries, Russia is the largest by
both area and population, while the Vatican is the smallest. Europe
is the third most populous continent after Asia and Africa with
a population of 710,000,000 or about 11% of the world's population.
However, the term continent can refer to a cultural and political
distinction or a physiographic one, leading to various perspectives
about Europe's precise borders, area and population.
