From Borders, Rivers and Mountains
A traveler crosses from Europe into Asia without leaving one country's territory. Which mountain range is conventionally taken as that continental divide?
- The Carpathians
- The Urals
- The Caucasus foothills near Elbrus
Show the answer
Answer: The Urals
The Ural Mountains, running north–south through Russia, are the conventional boundary between Europe and Asia, so the crossing happens entirely within Russia.
