The Thames River is the longest river in England & the 2nd longest river in the U.K. it goes through many towns such as London, Oxford, Reading, and Windsor. It is used for water power, food & drink, and also used for transportation. Recently the river has become a major leisure area for tourists. Many sports like rowing, sailing, kayaking, and punting are held there as well. It is normally a pretty clean river, but sometimes dead bodies have been found there.

Iberian peninsula
The Iberian Peninsula, or Iberia, is located in the extreme southwest of Europe, and includes modern-day Spain, Portugal, Andorra and
Gibraltar and a very small area of France. It is the westernmost of the three southern European peninsulas—the Iberian,
Italian, and Balkan peninsulas. It is bordered on the southeast and east by the Mediterranean Sea, and on the north, west and southwest by the Atlantic Ocean. The
Pyrenees form the northeast edge of the peninsula, separating it from the rest of Europe. In the south, it approaches the northern coast of Africa. It is the second-largest peninsula in Europe, with an area of 582,860 square kilometres (225,040 sq mi).

Aegean Sea
Throughout the entire Aegean shoreline—that is, both the continental shores surrounding the Aegean Sea and those of the islands—bays, ports, and shelter creeks are also abundant. These also facilitated the task of seamen traveling in the Aegean Sea, making longer voyages possible at a time when shipbuilding was in its infancy. For its size, no other maritime area of the Mediterranean has comparable shoreline development.
![Page 42: Northern European Plain](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56816255550346895dd2a129/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Aegean Sea
The maximum depth of the Aegean is to be found east of Crete, where it reaches 11,627 feet (3,544 metres). The rocks making up the floor of the Aegean are mainly limestone, though often greatly altered by volcanic activity that has convulsed the region in relatively recent geologic times. The richly coloured sediments in the region of the islands of Thera (Santoríni, or Thíra) and Melos (Mílos), in the south Aegean, are particularly interesting. During the 1970s, Thera in particular became a topic of major international scientific importance, analysis of its surrounding sediments having been linked with a possible explanation of the ancient legend of the lost island of Atlantis.
