Peninsula from the rest of Europe.
• Historically, have isolated the peninsula’s ethnic groups from each other.
![Page 29: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Uplands• Uplands are hills or
low mountains that may contain mesas or high plateaus.
![Page 30: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Fertile Plains• The most important plain in
Europe is the Northern European Plain.
• It produces a lot of food but is also an avenue for invasion.
• Europe has an abundance of coal and iron ore and those resources are essential for making steel.
• The Irish burn peat because they lack other kinds of energy resources.
• Peat – is partially decayed plant matter found in bogs (is a wetland).
![Page 38: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Environmental Issues
![Page 39: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Dikes• *The Dutch needed
land reclaimed from the Sea. To do this they built Dikes, earthen banks to hold back the sea.
![Page 40: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Polder• *The Dutch then
drained the water off the land. The land that is reclaimed by dikes and drainage is a polder.
![Page 41: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Zuider Zee• An arm of the North
Sea that the Dutch transformed into a freshwater lake.
![Page 42: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Ijsselmeer• Name of the
freshwater lake created by the Zuider Zee.
![Page 43: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Waterways for Commerce• Water transportation is
important in Venice because the city is made up of islands and canals.
• Venice grew because it is a good location for trade.
• Problems Venice faces are pollution, flooding, algae, and it is sinking.
![Page 44: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Water Pollution• Mines and factories
create much of Europe’s water pollution.
• Sewage contaminates rivers and many cities do not have treatment plants.
• Oil spills spread and kill wildlife.
• *Spain built Europe’s first desalination plant.
![Page 45: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Cleaning Up the Water• Because water pollution
spreads so easily, nations must cooperate to solve the problem.
• The EU also set up the European Environmental Agency, which provides the EU with reliable information about the environment.
![Page 46: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Deforestation
• One fourth of Europe is affected by acid rain.
• Acid rain is produced when sulfur emissions from factories combine with water vapor.
• Clearing of forest for fuel and building and industrial pollution have all led to deforestation.
![Page 47: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Agricultural Pollution• Chemical fertilizers
cause algae and plants to grow faster than fish can eat them. Plants and algae die, a process that uses up oxygen.
• Agricultural pesticides can harm wildlife, contaminate water, and kill beneficial insects.
![Page 48: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Air Quality• Air pollution is made
up of harmful gases and particulates, very small particles of liquid or solid matter.
• Using fossil fuels causes much air pollution.
• Other causes are fires, chemical use, and industry.
![Page 49: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

• Catholicism dominates the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea.
• *Catholic religion in Europe can be related to cultural diffusion through the power and reach of the Roman Empire that brought Christian/Catholicism
• *Based on current immigration trends, Islam is most likely to increase in Western Europe over the next 20 years.
![Page 52: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Enclave – an enclosed territory that is culturally distinct from the foreign territory that surrounds it (Ex. Vatican City within the city of Rome)

Economic Issues and Influences
![Page 66: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Developing the Economy• *Eastern European countries
moved from farming to industry because the soviet Union promoted industry.
• Communist governments restricted economic development because factories were state owned and told what they could produce.
• Moving toward a market economy has been of benefit in Eastern Europe because factories can make products that are in demand.
![Page 67: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
• There are oil reserves in the North Sea. Great Britain has claimed many of them.
• Most countries of Europe, especially Western Europe, have a well educated workforce.
• *The economic level that most European countries are at is the quaternary level.
![Page 68: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Economic Problems in Mediterranean Europe
• The region faces economic challenges, for example Italy’s northern region is much more developed than its southern half. The reason for this is…
1.The north is closer to other industrial countries of Europe, such as Germany and France.
2.The south has poorer transportation systems.3.The Government made bad decisions trying to
promote economic growth (starting industries that did not benefit the local people.
![Page 69: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
*High Speed Rail in Europe
• Is emerging in Europe as a popular and efficient mean of transportation
Reason’s for:
1.Tourism to Europe from other parts of the world.
2.Need for day travel so that business can be taken care of thus eliminating overnight stays.
3.European Union creating connections across political lines for work and trade.
4.Economics

Characteristic – a distinguishing feature or quality
*Supranationalism – the principle or practice of international cooperation above and beyond national
limitations. Examples: NATO, UN, EU

Satellite Nations• After World War II, the
Soviet Union set up communist governments in Eastern Europe. It became a region of satellite nations. These are nations that are controlled by another nation.
![Page 72: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
• Globalization – can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together.
![Page 73: Unit 6 Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168f6550346895de003b3/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
In the Starbucks photo we see the global effect of Starbucks with the use of Coffee beans, Sugar, and Paper. A single cup of Coffee can depend upon as many as 19 different countries bringing you that perfect blend and cup of coffee. Looking at the McDonald's photo there are 4-5 locations that have 2,000-10,000 plus restaurants. Also, look and compare the $41 billion McDonald’s makes in sales to the other big name restaurant companies such as Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, and Burger King. McDonald’s alone has over 31,000 restaurants in 118
countries employing more than 1.5 million people worldwide.
