The '''European Plain''' or '''Great lolz |
|||
The '''European Plain''' or '''Great European Plain''' is a [[plain]] in [[Europe]]. It is the largest [[mountain]]-free [[landform]] in Europe, although a number of [[Highland (geography)|highlands]] are identified within. It stretches from the [[Pyrenees Mountains]] and the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in the west to the [[Ural Mountains]] in the east. |
|||
It consists of the [[North European Plain]] and the [[East European Plain]]. The subdivision is a historical one, rather than [[geomorphological]]: the [[East European Plain]] was part of the European Plain within the [[Russian Empire]] and therefore was formerly known as the Russian Plain. |
|||
In Western Europe, the plain is relatively narrow (mostly within 200 miles) in the northern part of the Europe, but it broadens significantly toward its eastern part in Western Russia. |
|||
The plains are cut by many important rivers like the [[Loire]], [[Rhine]] and [[Vistula]] in the west; the [[Northern Dvina]] and [[Daugava]] flowing northwards in Eastern Europe and Russia and the [[Volga]], the [[Don River (Russia)|Don]] and the [[Dnieper]] flowing southwards of the [[European Russia]]. |
