Description Flora and Fauna of the Europe

In classical Greek mythology, Europa (Ancient Greek: Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē) was a Phoenicianprincess. The word Europe is derived from her name. The name contains the elements εὐρύς (eurús), "wide, broad“ and ὤψ (ōps, gen. ὠπός, ōpós) "eye, face, countenance" Since around 1850, Europe is most commonly considered to be separated from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas and the waterways of the Turkish Straits. 1.Tundra 2.Deciduous forest 3.Arctic 4.
