The mountain range that separates Europe and Asia is the Ural Mountains. Stretching from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Caspian Sea in the south, this mountain range serves as a natural boundary between the two continents. The Urals have a significant impact on the geography, climate, and biodiversity of the regions they traverse. Historically, they have been important for trade and travel and are rich in minerals and natural resources. The Urals’ rich cultural heritage, influenced by various ancient and modern populations, adds to their significance, making them an iconic feature in the landscape of Russia.
