Physical geographic elements like Europe’s long coastline helped to promote trade, industry, exploration, increase of population, water, food and settlement on the continent. Europe is the third most popular continent in the world and the most traveled place on Earth. It is known for its rich agricultural, industrial diversity and its old powerful civilizations like the Romans and Macedonians. In the textbook “National Geographic World Cultures and Geography” it states ”Over time people settled around the ports where the ships docked. Towns often grow around bays”. This piece of evidence shows how the physical geography of Europe, like the bays, would build civilizations because they had multiple resources like water, food and other materials.
