Europe, whose full name is "Europe", is named after the character "Europa" in Greek mythology (Greek: ε υ ρ? πη? ), Europe is located in the northwest of the old hemisphere, bordering the Arctic Ocean in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea in the south. The mainland is east to the polar Urals (6610' e 'e, 67° 46' N), south to Cape Maroqi (5° 36' W, 36' N) and west to Cape Rocca (9 31'w, 38 47').
Europe is the sixth largest in the world with a population density of 70 people/km? Europe is the third most populous continent in the world, second only to Asia and Africa. More than 99% of the population belongs to white people, which is relatively single. Europe is one of the most livable continents with high living standards, high environmental and human development indexes.
The climate in Europe
Most parts of Europe have temperate maritime climate, including Mediterranean climate, temperate continental climate, polar climate and plateau mountain climate, among which temperate maritime climate is the most typical. Europe is the sixth continent in the world, with an area of 1.0 1.7 million square kilometers.
The climate in most parts of Europe is mild and humid, and some parts are located in temperate zone, which is the continent with the widest distribution area of marine climate in the world. Because of the vast plain, the humid westerly wind blowing from the Atlantic Ocean can go deep into the inland, and the influence of the warm current of the North Atlantic Ocean makes the whole coastal area of Western Europe very humid, and the European continent has changed from a maritime climate to a continental climate from west to east.
Europe is located in the middle and high latitudes, with the sea to the west. The coastline is jagged due to the influence of seawater, and the ocean is the main reason for controlling climate. Affected by the ocean, Europe has a mild climate, abundant rainfall, high relative humidity and cloudy weather, including the inland areas in the northern Alps.
