Europe

What this page covers

This page collects Europe resources made by GoConqr users. Many are case studies of regions. You'll find a set of mind maps on the Mezzogiorno, the southern Italian region, split into physical features, primary activities and secondary activities. There is a matching set on the Paris Basin, covering tertiary and secondary activities and the growth of an urban center.

Other resources work at country or continent level. There are mind maps on Malta, Paris, Russia, Scotland, Belgium and Scandinavia, plus broader maps on the relief and coast of Europe and on economic activities across Europe.

Where to start

1. Open the mind map called Europe!!. It sorts countries into Scandinavian, Western and Southern groups, which gives you a frame for everything else.
2. Try the flashcards Europe Countries And Capitals or AP Euro Cities to fix capitals in your memory.
3. Take the quiz on Europe's mountain ranges. It asks you to label a map and name the longest and highest ranges. The quiz on Europe's rivers is a good follow-up.
4. Move on to a regional case study, such as the Mezzogiorno maps or the Paris Basin maps.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. Where you get an answer wrong, go back to that branch of the map. The Mezzogiorno primary activities map, for example, covers farming, fishing, climate, relief and soils, so it pairs well with a quiz on the same region.

Flashcards suit short facts such as capitals and countries. Notes and slides, like the slide set on the geography of Europe, help when you want a fuller explanation in one place.

For students and teachers

Most resources here are written at secondary level, so they suit school students working through a topic. Some mention Leaving Cert Geography or A-level Geography. Teachers can pick a map, quiz or flashcard deck and use it as ready-made material for a lesson or revision task. Check each resource against your own course, since the community wrote them.

Where this unit sits

Europe is a unit in the Regional Geography strand of Geography. It fits alongside other regional study, so you can compare places as you go.
