Prevailing Winds

Europe

The winds in Europe are mostly Prevailing Westerlies These Westerlies bring mild maritime air from the Atlantic but prevent cold arctic air from reaching Europe.

Iceland

The winds in Iceland are mostly Prevailing Easterlies. Westerlies are very infrequent. Wind speed tend to be higher in the highlands, but topographic features may change the strength and speed of winds in lowland areas.

^[10]

Europe is at a high lattitude, so you would expect it to be very cold, but warm ocean currents blow around Europe, so the temperature stays mild. Also, there are a bunch of Mountain Ranges (The Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians,Balkan, Rhodopes)in southern Europe. These mountain ranges cause southern Europe to be hot and arid, while northern central Europe is humid and warm. Northern Europe (Norway, Sweden, Finland) is very cold because it is so close to the arctic circle and so far away from the equator. It is also very moist because lows usually sit at the north west end of europe, allowing moisture to collect, and a hight usually sits towards the south of europe, making less room for water in the air. Prevailing winds blow up from the south past England and northern Europe, bringing warm air with them, causing these areas to be warm, or warmer than they would be, despite their high altitude. In the North West part of Europe, there is a mountain range causing that area to have a high elevation. Since temperature decreases as altitude (elevation) increases, that area has a Polar climate, which is different than the area surrounding it. Also, there is a mountain range (high elevation) in southern Europe. This area is a region of Polar and a region of Snow. the area surrounding this mountain range does not have a high elevation, and contrastly has a warm temperature. Most of Europe, exept for a sliver in the south, has a very humid climate. This is because there is an ocean right next to Europe.
Iceland is very near the arctic circle, so due to it's elevation, it is cold. However, on the east of iceland there is a warm ocean current blowing up towards iceland. That is why there is a sliver of warm regions on the south side of Iceland. On the other hand, there is a cold ocean current coming from the northwest side of Iceland. There is a low pressure system that hangs out around iceland, so there is moisture. Iceland is a polar tundra, and because the frozen water can not sink into the ground, it supportst mosses, lichens, and shrubs. Prevailing winds blowing from the North East side of Iceland to Iceland bring down cold air, causing Iceland to be colder. However, there is a prevailing wind that blows from the South West to Iceland, bringing warm air with it. This causes a sliver of the South West side of Iceland to be warmer. The most of and central part of Iceland is a mountain. This causes a high elevation. This is a factor of why Iceland is so cold. The very South West side of Iceland does not have a high elevation. It is a little bit warmer than the rest of Iceland because of this. Iceland is very humid because it is surrounded by water.

Rock Types

Scandinavia

^[13]

The Scandinavian region is very mountainous. Because mountains are formed by pressure, the majority of the Scandinavian region is composed of Metamorphic rock. There is a strip of igneous rock in the lower western part of it. This is possibly due to plutons (batholiths). It could also possibly be from a volcano that is now extinct.

England

^[14]

Most of England is composed of sedimentary rock. This is probably because everything that was there was eroded away, and the remaining sediments compacted together to form new sedimentary rock. Northern England is still metamorphic because it is like the base of the mountain. It is similar to a volcanic neck. (The rest of the metamorphic rock eroded away, but that part is still there). There are little pockets of Igneous rock. On the map above, some are marked as red. These are intrusive, and were formed by batholiths. There is also dark purple spots. These rocks are extrusive, formed by volcanic eruptions.

Western Europe

^[15]

Western Europe is a mish-mash of a lot of different rock types. Along tectonic plates Western Europe is mostly composed of igneous or metamorphic rock this is because of old volcanoes or mountain building along the boulders. Western Europe also contains lots of sedimentary rock this is because Western Europe is surrounded by the British isle and Mediterranean sea and the igneous and metamorphic erodes away turning most of the coast line into beaches and plains of sedimentary rock.

Eastern Europe

Eastern Europe is mostly composed of igneous and metamorphic rock types. Small parts are sedimentary. It may be igneous and metamorphic because of a fault line running slightly south of all of Europe. Some volcanoes reside south of Europe, mostly along the fault line, but also some a bit higher. A range of mountains (Ural Mountains) separates Europe from Asia, also causing metamorphism as the land pushed together to create the mountain range. (Refer to picture under Western Europe for full map)

Iceland

Iceland sits on a fault line. There are many volcanoes in Iceland. The eruption of a volcano probably led to the formation of Iceland. This means that Iceland would be made up of igneous extrusive rock. However, These eruptions happened a very long time ago. Over time, however, these rocks were eroded away. The sediments were cemented together, and that is why Iceland is mainly composed of Sedimentary rock.

Mining resources

Iceland

In 2002, diatomite was the leading export in Iceland. In 2001, 28,000 tons of diatomite came from Lake Myvatn. Other minerals mined in Iceland include: hydraulic cement, nitrogen, pumice, salt, scoria, spar, sulfur, peat, lignite, and aluminum. ^[16]

Scandinavia

Iron and steel comprise Sweden's top mining industry. Iron-ore production in 2000 in Sweden was 12.75 million tons (metal content). Lead, copper, zinc, gold, and silver are also mined in Sweden. Bismuth, cobalt, and huge quantities of arsenic are also found in Sweden. Sweden also produces hydraulic cement, kaolin clay, feldspar, fertilizer, graphite, lime, quartz, quartzite, dimension and crushed stone (including dolomite, granite (for domestic use and for export), limestone, sandstone, and slate), sulfur, and soapstone talc. Marble and ilmenite are also found in Sweden. ^[17] Finland mines chromite, foundry sand, copper, nickel, zinc, feldspar, lime, nitrogen, phosphate rock, pyrite, sodium sulfate, limestone, dolomite, granite, quartz silica sand, soapstone, sulfur, talc, and wollastonite. ^[18] Silver, iron, and copper are important exports in Norway. Iron pyrites and iron ore are mined in considerable quantities in Norway. Norway also produces nickel, hydraulic cement, dolomite, feldspar, graphite, lime (hydrated, quicklime), limestone, flake mica, nepheline syenite, nitrogen, olivine sand, quartz, quartzite, soapstone, steatite, sulfur (as a byproduct), and talc. ^[19]

Plate tectonics

All of Europe is on the Eurasian Plate besides Iceland, which is half in the Eurasian Plate and half on the North American plate. Many earthquake are caused by the plates' movements. The western side of the plate is divergent, which accounts for many volcanoes and earthquakes caused by the movements at the Mid-Ocean ridge.

Boundary Types

Europe is on the Eurasian plate, and its boundary with the North American plate to the west is a divergent boundary.

Margin Types

Volcanoes

Volcanoes in Iceland(Active, Dormant, and Extinct) -

Earthquakes

Seismic Hazard Map [[1]]

Earthquake Data (1986-2005)

There have been earthquakes in Europe caused by the movement of the Eurasian plate. Their depths tend to be 0-200 kilometers below the surface, but mostly 0-50 kilometers. Earthquakes tend to be in the south of Europe, near the plate boundary, but there have been three reported in Romania, one in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and one in Italy. Three have been recorded in Iceland.
