GREAT BRITAIN

1. Great Britain is situated on the British Isles that lie to the North-West of continental Europe. They consist of two large islands – Great Britain and Ireland, and many small islands. They are surrounded by the seas and the ocean and the climate there is moister than that of central Europe. The coast line is broken and it has a number of fine bays and natural harbours.

2. It is hard to say that Great Britain has typical weather because of the sudden changes that may occur. The three things to determine the climate of Great Britain are:
1) the position of the island in the temperature belt, 2) the fact that prevailing winds blow from the west and south-west, 3) the warm current Gulf Stream that flows from the Gulf of Mexico along the western shores of Great Britain. That is why the British ports are ice-free and rivers do not freeze throughout the year. The world famous ports are: London, Liverpool, Bristol, Plymouth, Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover and others.....
