- Physical Geography Relative Location? Europe is physically
smaller than the United States, but has nearly twice the
population. The majority of Europe is highly urbanized and densely
settled. Climate Europe has an advantage Europes overall climate is
relatively mild considering its high latitude. Prevailing Westerly
winds and the North Atlantic Drift; winds blowing off warmer water
bring mild, humid conditions to a large portion of Europe.

- Scandinavia and much of southern Europe are hilly or
mountainous, especially in the Alps, Pyrenees, and Carpathian
mountains. Between these rugged areas lies the immense and
agriculturally fertile North Europe Plain. Most important rivers
are the Rhine and Danube. Pg. 62 and 115

- Historical Impact Until the 15 th century, Europe played a
minor role in world affairs, but the Age of Discovery began
establishing Europe as a center of colonization, trade, and
technological innovation. European nations wound up colonizing,
settling, and profoundly altering much of the rest of the world.
Industrial Revolution originated in Europe. Europes dominance began
unraveling in the 20 th century, after two devastating world wars
fought mainly on European soil and the loss of many European
colonies. Also, the rise of Nationalism. Europe continues to be an
important and wealthy region and moving into a postindustrial
economy.

- Venice Humans created this unique environment. Venice, Italy is
made of about 120 islands and part of the mainland. A broad
waterway called the Grand Canal flows between these islands There
are 150 canals that snake around the city. You can either walk or
take a boats to travel around Venice. How was Venice built?
Builders sunk wooden pilings into the ground to help support the
structures above. So much wood was needed many parts of Northern
Italy was flattened. Weight of buildings is so great that it has
compressed the underlying ground. This is one of the reasons why
Venice is gradually sinking. Other reasons include rising sea
levels and the removal of too much groundwater by pumping.
- Slide 15
- Venice Problems: There is severe water pollution that threatens
historic buildings. Pollution includes: Industrial waste and sewage
Algae is created and when algae decays buildings it uses up oxygen
which destroys fish
