Europe is one of the continents that make up the Eurasian supercontinent, located between parallels 35º 30’ and 70º 30’ north latitude. In a conventional way and for cultural-historical reasons, it is considered a continent, following the delimitation made by the Russian geographer Vasily Tatishchev, who wanted to point out Russia's membership of Europe and Asia. The borders of Europe and its population are subject to controversy, that the term continent can refer to a cultural and political good or to physiographic distinctions.

The most widespread definition of Europe is the one that places it in the eastern half of the northern hemisphere, bounded by the Arctic Ocean in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the south. To the west, reaching the Atlantic Ocean. To the east separated by the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea and the straits of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles from Asia.
