GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The Urals rise like a long and narrow spine across western Russia, forming a natural divide between Europe and Asia. The mountain range spans 2, 500 kilometers (1, 550 miles) passing through Arctic tundra to the north and through forested and semi-desert landscapes to the south.

Detailed explanation-2: -The continent of Europe is separated from Asia by the Ural mountains, the Caspian sea, the Black Sea and the Caucasus mountains.

Detailed explanation-3: -The entire length of the Ural River is considered the Europe-Asia boundary by most authoritative sources. Rarely, the smaller, shorter Emba River is claimed as the continental boundary, but that pushes “Europe” much further into “Central Asian” Kazakhstan.
