00:00:12,339 --> 00:00:18,519
Welcome back to our vocabulary video series. This unit is called European Mountain Ranges.

2
00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:26,019
Today, we're going to learn words that will help us understand what mountain ranges are

3
00:00:26,019 --> 00:00:36,840
and where they're located in Europe. Before we get started, you should probably know what a

4
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,219
mountain range is. A mountain range is a series of mountains arranged in a line and connected

5
00:00:42,219 --> 00:00:55,789
by high ground. Imagine it's like a belt or a line that stretches across an area,

6
00:00:55,789 --> 00:01:00,329
but made up of really tall mountains, like this picture.

7
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:07,000
Let's get started.

8
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:10,879
The first mountain range is the Ural Mountain Range.

9
00:01:11,739 --> 00:01:16,159
The Ural Mountains are a mountain range that forms the border between Europe and Asia.

10
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:19,040
The mountains are in Russia.

11
00:01:21,750 --> 00:01:25,629
Fun fact, they are the longest mountain range in the EU.

12
00:01:33,579 --> 00:01:36,939
The second mountain range we will be talking about today is the Alps.

13
00:01:37,140 --> 00:01:39,579
They are Europe's highest mountain range.

14
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,000
The Alps are in France, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria.

15
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:57,640
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, and Mont Blanc is one of the most famous mountains in all of Europe.

16
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:07,420
The next mountain range is the Scandinavian mountain range.

17
00:02:08,219 --> 00:02:14,240
The Scandinavian mountains are located on the Scandinavian peninsula in the north of Europe.

18
00:02:19,810 --> 00:02:22,629
They are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world.

19
00:02:22,629 --> 00:02:27,629
They form a natural border between Norway and Sweden.

20
00:02:27,629 --> 00:02:36,680
The next mountain range is the Caucasus Mountain Range.

21
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:43,680
Like the Urals, the Caucasus Mountains also form part of the boundary between Europe and Asia.

22
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,680
The mountain range is between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.

23
00:02:48,680 --> 00:03:02,699
Europe's highest peak is Mount Elbrus, which has an elevation of 5,642 meters and is in the Caucasus Mountains.

24
00:03:02,699 --> 00:03:15,349
The final mountain range we will be talking about today is the Pyrenees Mountain Range.

25
00:03:15,349 --> 00:03:20,349
The Pyrenees Mountains are a mountain range located in the southwest of Europe.

26
00:03:20,349 --> 00:03:31,719
This mountain range forms a natural boundary between Spain and France.

27
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,719
Have you ever seen the Pyrenees Mountains?

28
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:39,919
Would you ever walk this trail?

29
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:50,569
Thank you so much for tuning in to learn about mountain ranges.

30
00:03:50,569 --> 00:03:52,569
I hope you learned a lot.

31
00:03:52,569 --> 00:03:54,569
