उत्तर
Europe lies almost in the middle of the northern hemisphere, with North America to its west beyond the Atlantic Ocean, Asia to its east and Africa to its south. It stretches from 35°N to 73°N, and most of it lies within the temperate zone. Longitudinally, it stretches from 25° W to 65° E.
Europe’s location has provided advantages like access to oceans for trade, a temperate climate fostering diverse agriculture, numerous navigable rivers and canals facilitating internal commerce, and a central position relative to Asia and Africa. Its intricate coastline with many ports and inlets also promoted maritime activity and communication.
