The mountain range that separates Europe from Asia is the Ural Mountains. This range extends about 2,500 kilometers from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Caspian Sea in the south. It serves as a natural boundary and is significant in Russian geography. The Ural Mountains are also culturally important, as they define not only a geographical division but also aspects of Russian history and identity. The range features diverse landscapes, including mountains, forests, and mineral deposits, contributing to its ecological richness and economic importance for the regions surrounding it.
