Europe

Geography• Europe's eastern frontier is now commonly delineated by the Ural Mountains in Russia..• The southeast boundary with Asia is not universally defined, with the Ural River, or alternatively,

the Emba River most commonly serving as possible boundaries. The boundary continues to the Caspian Sea, the crest of the Caucasus Mountains or, alternatively, the Kura River in the Caucasus, and on to the Black Sea; the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, Dardanelles, and the Aegean Sea conclude the Asian boundary.

• The Mediterranean Sea to the south separates Europe from Africa. • The western boundary is the Atlantic Ocean; Iceland, though nearer to Greenland (North America)

than mainland Europe, is generally included in Europe.• Because of sociopolitical and cultural differences, there are various descriptions of Europe's

boundary; For instance, geographers from Russia and other post-Soviet states generally include the Urals in Europe while including Caucasia in Asia. Similarly, Cyprus is approximate to Anatolia (or Asia Minor), but is often considered part of Europe and currently is a member state of the EU. In addition, Malta was considered an island of Africa for centurie.

• Western sources, such as the National Geographic Society, usually state that the Europe-Asia boundary follows the watershed of the Ural Mountains to the source of the Ural River, then follows that river to the Caspian Sea. The border then follows the watershed of the Caucasus Mountains from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea. According to this definition, there are 4 transcontinental countries:

– Azerbaijan - situated in Eastern Europe and Western Asia. – Georgia - situated in Eastern Europe and Western Asia.[1] – Kazakhstan - situated in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. – Russia - situated in Northern Asia and Eastern Europe. – Turkey - situated in Western Asia and Eastern Europe.
