| ARTICLES RELATED TO List of rivers of Europe | | | | | | |  List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Neman River - Importance of the Neman in Lithuanian cultureLithuanians like to refer to the Neman as "the father of rivers" (because Nemunas in Lithuanian is a masculine noun). In Lithuania, there are countless places, companies, organizations that have "Nemunas" in their name (e.g. folklore ensemble, weekly magazine about art and culture, sanatorium, guest houses and hotels). Also, Lithuanian novels, poems, and songs often refer to Nemunas. One of the most famous poems by Maironis starts:
Almost every Lithuanian can recite these words from heart. It is so ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Adriatic Sea - Extent The Adriatic extends northwest from 40° to 45° 45' N., with an extreme length of about 770 km (415 nm, 480 mi). It has a mean breadth of about 160 km (85 nm, 100 mi), although the Strait of Otranto, through which it connects at the south with the Ionian Sea, is only 45-55 nautical miles wide (85-100 km).
Moreover, the chain of islands which fringes the northern part of the eastern shore reduces the extreme breadth of open sea in this part to 145 km (78 nm, 90 mi). Its total surface area is ab ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Europe - Geography and extent Geographically Europe is a part of the larger landmass known as Eurasia. The continent begins at the Ural Mountains in Russia, which define Europe's eastern boundary with Asia. The southeast boundary with Asia isn't universally defined. Most commonly the Ural or, alternatively, the Emba river can serve as possible boundaries. The boundary continues with the Caspian Sea, and then the Araxes river in the Caucasus, and on to the Black Sea; the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles conclude the Asian boundary. The Mediterranean Sea t ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Bulgaria - Drainage The Balkan Mountains divide Bulgaria into two nearly equal drainage systems. The larger system drains northward to the Black Sea, mainly by way of the Danube River. This system includes the entire Danubian Plateau and a stretch of land running forty-eight to eighty kilometers inland from the coastline. The second system drains the Thracian Plain and most of the higher lands of the south and southwest to the Aegean Sea. Although only the Danube is navigable, many of the other rivers and streams in Bulgaria have a high potential for the production of hydroe ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Bulgaria - Boundaries Although external historical events often changed Bulgaria's national boundaries in its first century of existence, natural terrain features defined most boundaries after 1944, and no significant group of people suffered serious economic hardship because of border delineation. Postwar Bulgaria contained a large percentage of the ethnic Bulgarian people, although numerous migrations into and out of Bulgaria occurred at various times. None of the country's borders was officially disputed in 1991, although nationalist Bulgarians continue to cla ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Bulgaria - Environment Like other former European members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, Bulgaria saw unimpeded industrial growth as a vital sign of social welfare and progress toward the socialist ideal. Because this approach made environmental issues a taboo subject in socialist Bulgaria, the degree of damage by postwar industrial policy went unassessed until the government of Todor Zhivkov (1962-1989) was overthrown in late 1989. The Zhivkov government's commitment to heavy industry and lack of money to spend on protective measures forced it to ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Bulgaria - Political geography Bulgaria's political geography has changed greatly since the restoration of statehood in 1878. Russia, whose military victories had lead to its creation, pushed for a "big Bulgaria" that would include much of Macedonia. At the Congress of Berlin, however, the powers insisted upon a much reduced area, divided until 1885 between the principalities of Bulgaria proper and Eastern Rumelia.
An independent kingdom from 1908 to 1946 and thereafter a republic, Bulgaria sought to expand its territory in the two Balkan Wars of 1912-13 and in Wor ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Bulgaria - Climate Considering its small area, Bulgaria has an unusually variable and complex climate. The country lies between the strongly contrasting continental and Mediterranean climatic zones. Bulgarian mountains and valleys act as barriers or channels for air masses, causing sharp contrasts in weather over relatively short distances. The continental zone is slightly larger, because continental air masses flow easily into the unobstructed Danubian Plain. The continental influence, stronger during the winter, produces abundant snowfall; the Mediterranean ...

| | | | | List of rivers of Europe: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Bulgaria - Topography The main characteristic of Bulgaria's topography is alternating bands of high and low terrain that extend east to west across the country. From north to south, those bands are the Danubian Plateau, Stara Planina (the Balkan Mountains), the central Thracian Plain, and the Rhodope Mountains. The easternmost sections near the Black Sea are hilly, but they gradually gain height to the west until the west ...
