Central Siberian Plateau- rolling plateau, elevations ranging from 1,600 to 2,300 feet. Swiftly flowing rivers have carved
out canyons. Siberia- Eastern Russia, Arctic and
Subarctic Region of Russia. Kamchatka Peninsula has more
than 100 volcanoes, 29 are active. Cold, mostly Asian type population Trans-Siberian Railroad-
network of railways connecting Moscow with the Russian Far East and the East sea.
Connected Moscow with Vladivostok since 1916 and is still being expanded.
Landforms- Plateaus

Northern European Plain- “Russian Plain, sweeps across Western and Central Europe into Russia
Northern half- very flat and poorly drained, creating swamps and lakes.
Southern half- navigable waterways and a rich black soil known as chernozem.
Chernozem supports production of wheat, barley, rye, oats, and many other crops.
About 75% of the Russian population lives in the Northern Plain. Holds Moscow and St. Petersburg.
West Siberian Plain- Almost 1 million square miles. One of the worlds Largest areas of flatland.
At widest plain stretches from Arctic Ocean to grasslands of Central Asia.
Lowland areas poorly drained with swamps and marshes.
Landforms- Plains Areas

High Fishing industry- diet and economy
1/5 of world's forest lands lie in Russia, most in Siberia. Supply much of the world's timber- pine, fir-spruce,
and cedar.
