Europe, second smallest of the world's continents, composed of the
westward-projecting peninsulas of Eurasia (the great landmass that it shares with
Asia) and occupying nearly one-fifteenth of the world's total land area. It is
bordered on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, and
on the south (west to east) by the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Kuma-Manych
Depression, and the Caspian Sea. Find more facts at https://www.britannica.com/place/Europe.
