What It’s Like In Europe.

Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

Today we are going to talk about places, animals, food and even the weather in Europe. If you didn't know Europe is the third most populous continent in the world. In Europe, there are 741.4 million people that live in Europe, since 2016.
Know we are going to talk about places, animals, food and the weather in Europe.

Places :

Russia :
Russia, the world’s largest nation, borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches.

France :
France, in Western Europe, encompasses medieval cities, alpine villages and Mediterranean beaches. Paris, its capital, is famed for its fashion houses, classical art museums including the Louvre and monuments like the Eiffel Tower.

Ireland :
Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles, the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest on Earth.

Foods :

Wheat flour bread - pasta - dumplings - pastries - potato :
Wheat-flour bread has long been the most common sources of starch in this cuisine, along with pasta, dumplings, and pastries, although the potato has become a major starch plant in the diet of Europeans and their diaspora since the European colonization of the Americas.

Gazpacho :
Gazpacho or Andalusian gazpacho is a cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables. A classic of Spanish cuisine originated in the southern region of Andalusia. Gazpacho is widely eaten in Spain and Portugal, particularly during the hot summers, as it is refreshing and cool.

Goulash :
Goulash is a stew of meat and vegetables usually seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating from medieval Hungary, goulash is a popular meal predominantly eaten in Central Europe but also in other parts of Europe. It is one of the national dishes of Hungary and a symbol of the country.

Animals :

Pine Marten :
The European pine marten, known most commonly as the pine marten in Anglophone Europe, and less commonly also known as Baum marten, or sweet marten, is an animal native to Northern Europe belonging to the mudslide family, which also includes mink, otter, badger, wolverine, and weasel.

Polecat :
The European polecat – also known as the common ferret, black or forest polecat, or Fitch – is a species of mudslide native to western Eurasia and northern Morocco. It is of a generally dark brown colour, with a pale underbelly and a dark mask across the face.

Latrodectus tredecimguttatus :
Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, also known as the Mediterranean black widow, or the European black widow, is a species in the genus Latrodectus of the widow spiders.

Weather :

The climate of Europe varies from subtropical to polar. The Mediterranean climate of the south is dry and warm. The western and northwestern parts have a mild, generally humid climate, influenced by the North Atlantic Drift.

Conclusion : This is the end of what I have done for Europe. I have done the places, animals, foods and also the weather.
