Study the rivers of Europe is one of the key issues in school. Therefore, from LocuraViajes do a little review on the European insurance hydrography you will be very useful.
As you know the European continent is of small size, so the rivers do not have as much length as many located in other parts of the world. The longest, and also the largest river is the Volga, with an area of 3,700 km. across Russia. Other major rivers of Europe are:
* In the Russian plains, the Rhine, the Danube and the Don.
* In Western Europe: Duero, Tajo, Ebro, Thames, Loire and Garonne.
* Center: Vistula, Seine, Rhine and Danube.
Another distinction made between the rivers of Europe is by “water regime.” They are divided into three subgroups or different water regimes: the Mediterranean, Atlantic and eastern Plains. Here are the characteristics of each:
Rivers of Water Regime in the Mediterranean:
* Their basins are narrow,
* Are short extension
* Its headwaters are located in highlands
* Are rivers with a steep slope,
* Are plentiful due to the rugged terrain and the influence of winter weather
* Are, in general, little waterways
* Examples: rivers Ebro, Po, Maritza, Tiber, Rhône.
Rivers of the Atlantic Water Regime:
* Their basins are of great extent,
* Often in areas of flat terrain
* Have great lengths
* Their mouths are characterized by the formation of estuaries
* More suitable for port construction,
* Examples: Rhine, Vistula, Loire, Moza, Elba, Tajo, Oder, Seine, Douro, Garonne, Thames Glomma.
Rivers of water regime of the Eastern Plains:
* Travel the great plains of Eastern Europe (particularly Russia)
* Runs are long
* Their flows are variable
* Freeze during the winter and in summer they become capable of navigation
* Examples: Volga, Danube, Ural, Pechora, Northern Dvina, Snow
