Box 4-1Major Geographic Features of Europe
o The European geographic realm lies on the western flank of the Eurasian landmass. o Though territorially small, Europe is heavily populated and fragmented into 40 states. o European natural environments are highly varied, and Europe's resource base is rich and diverse. o Europe's geographic diversity, cultural as well as physical, created strong local identities,
specializations, and opportunities for trade and commerce. o The European Union (EU) is a historic and unique effort to achieve multinational economic
integration and, to a lesser degree, political coordination. o Europe's relatively prosperous population is highly urbanized and aging rapidly. o Local demands for greater autonomy as well as cultural challenges posed by immigration are
straining the European social fabric. o Despite Europe's momentous unification efforts, east-west contrasts still mark the realm's
regional geography. o The impacts of the refugee crisis that gathered momentum in the mid-2010s pose a threat to the
EU and to political stability across the realm.
