Relief
There are many different landscapes in Britain, from high mountains to rolling hill sand valleys. Places like Wales, the Lake District and northwest Scotland have high mountains and steep slopes made out of solid rocks.
This landscape was made millions of years ago during the ice ages, when moving glaciers of ice made deep valleys, steep mountain slopes and long lakes. The southern and eastern parts of Britain are made up of smaller rocks that have weathered and become fertile farmland.
The highest point is Ben Nevis ­ 1343 metres above sea level and the lowest point is Holme Fen ­ 3 metres below sea level. The population is 57,970,200 people, the population density at 239 people per square km.
92% of British people live in urban areas while only 8% live in rural areas.
Great Britain is completely surrounded by sea, isolating it from the rest of Europe. No part of Britain is far from the sea, which is an important resource for fishing, tourism and ports.
