Europe covers about one-fifth of the Eurasia landmass - just 7% of the worlds total landmass - and it is the second smallest continent in the World, after Oceania. The Eastern boundary of Europe has often been debated throughout history, but it is commonly considered to be the Ural Mountains in Russia. Some European countries are also considered to be part of Asia, including Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Cyprus. |
