After <a href=\"\/australia\/\">Australia<\/a>, it is the smallest (by area). The irregular shape of Europe has given it several nicknames such as the peninsula of peninsulas and islands. This has also made it very difficult to define the continental boundaries of the continent. Generally speaking, Europe is bound by the Arctic Ocean in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the south. To its west is the Atlantic Ocean. To the east of Europe is the continent of <a href=\"\/asia\/\">Asia<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Europe and Asia are separate continents despite sharing a single tectonic plate. The landmass that they form together, often called Eurasia, is considered a supercontinent, and countries such as Russia and <a href=\"\/turkey\/\">Turkey<\/a> straddle these two continents. The Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, the Greater Caucasus watershed, the Dardanelles Sea, the Bosporus Strait, and the Aegean Sea form the continental boundaries that separate Europe and Asia. These natural boundaries, however, make it difficult for us to ascertain the continental identity of countries such as <a href=\"\/georgia\/\">Georgia<\/a>, Turkey, <a href=\"\/azerbaijan\/\">Azerbaijan<\/a>, Russia, and <a href=\"\/kazakhstan\/\">Kazakhstan<\/a>. We have now come to accept that these countries are culturally aligned to a large extent with the European nations despite covering a considerable area in Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"mapsofworldv2\"><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Apart from mainland Europe, several islands make up the continent of Europe. The likes of The British Isles, <a href=\"\/denmark\/\">Denmark<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/iceland\/\">Iceland<\/a> are all part of Europe. Heading south towards the Mediterranean Islands such as Crete, Corsica, Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus, Balearic Islands, Cyclades, Dodecanese, Sporades, and the Ionian Islands are all part of European nations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Europe is separated from Africa by a narrow strait called the Strait of Gibraltar which separates Spain from Morocco. The strait is about 8.9 miles at its narrowest and connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/answers\/geography\/europe-separate-from-asia\/\">Why is Europe considered a separate continent from Asia?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/answers\/geography\/what-is-eurasia\/\">What is Eurasia?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/answers\/regions\/countries-in-eastern-europe\/\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;What are the Countries of Eastern Europe&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:513,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0}\">What are the Countries of Eastern Europe?<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related Maps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/europe\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/maps\/maps\/thumbnails\/europe-thumb.gif\" alt=\"Europe Map\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Europe Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/continents\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/maps\/maps\/thumbnails\/world-continent-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Continents of the World\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Continents of the World<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/asia\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/maps\/maps\/thumbnails\/asia-thumb.gif\" alt=\"Asia Map\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asia Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/africa\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/maps\/maps\/thumbnails\/africa-thumb.gif\" alt=\"Africa Map\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Africa Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine Russia Standoff &#8211; Latest Update Russian Attack on Yavoriv Military Base Renowned US journalist Brent Renaud was killed when Russian troops opened fire on a car Ukraine Accuses Russia of using Banned Phosphorus Munitions Jake Sullivan Warns China to Avoid Helping Russia Here are some important maps related to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/geography\/europes-continental-boundaries\/\" class=\"read_more_posts\">Continue Reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_1810\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"1810\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1844,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"What Are Europe's Continental Boundaries?
