[www.study.ru/support/topics/geography/uk/uk70.html]

The British Isles are situated to the west of the continent of Europe. The British Isles consist of two large islands – Great Britain and Ireland – and a number of small ones. The island of Great Britain together with the small islands around it and the north-eastern part of Ireland constitute the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland that is more often called Great Britain or just England. The territory of the United Kingdom is 244,000 sq. km. with a population of 50 million. Great Britain is separated from the European continent by the North Sea, the English Channel and the Straits of Dover, which is only 33 km. wide in its narrowest part. In the west the British Isles are washed by the Atlantic Ocean.

South-eastern Britain is a lowland country, which stretches up north to the foot of the Apennines. Further north are the Highlands of Scotland. In the west are the mountains of Wales. There are many rivers in Britain but they are rather short. The Thames, on which London, the capital of the United Kingdom is situated, is Britain's most important river. It runs through the country’s agricultural districts into the North Sea.

Great Britain is a highly developed industrial country. The main industrial regions are in the north and west of the country where the main deposits of coal are to be found. The oldest centre of heavy industry is the region of Birmingham and Sheffield known as the Black Country. Two main textile regions are situated to the west and east of the Apennines.
