Europe, the planet's 6th largest continent, includes (46) countries, and a few dependencies, territories and regions.
In exacting geographic definitions, Europe is really not a continent, but part of the peninsula of Euroasia,
which includes all of Europe and Asia. However, (most geographers today) refer to
it as an individual continent.
Europe (in green) is separated from Asia by Russia's Ural Mountains in the east,
and the Caspian and Black Seas in the southeast.
Europe's highest point is Mt. Elbrus in European Russia at 18,481 ft (5,633m),
just north of the Georgia/Russian border.
Europe's lowest point is on the surface of the Caspian Sea, at 92 ft (28m) below sea level.
Note: Turkey and the Russian Federation are considered a part of both Asia and Europe;
