Arctic LandscapesCentral European Landscapes Tundra LandscapesMountain LandscapesMediterranean Landscapes are characteristic of the northern regions of Europe and are characterised by extreme climatic conditions. The vegetation is limited and the plants are adapted to the cold conditions. Mosses, lichens and dwarf shrubs such as heather and willows dominate.

Put the ages in the right order:
Little Ice Age
The Little Ice Age was a period of cooler climate in Europe. There were numerous cold spells during this period, which led to crop failures, famine and social unrest
The Migration Period
The Migration Period was characterised by considerable climatic cooling and its effects on the environment and human societies.
Neolithic Revolution
The Neolithic Revolution marked the introduction of agriculture and animal husbandry in Europe. This change was favoured by climatic conditions and changes in the landscape.
Ice Ages
A period of cold climate characterised by recurring ice ages began around 2.6 million years ago. Europe experienced several cold periods during which large parts of the continent were covered by glaciers. During this time, temperatures dropped considerably and the land became dry and inhospitable.
Roman Warm Period
During the Roman Warm Period, also known as the Roman Climatic Optimum, Europe experienced a period of increased temperatures and changing climatic conditions.
Industrial Revolution
With the start of the Industrial Revolution, the use of fossil fuels increased, leading to a rise in greenhouse gas emissions and increased climate change.
Medieval Warm Period
Europe experienced a period of increased temperatures known as the Medieval Warm Period. During this period, Europe experienced milder winters and more favourable conditions for agriculture and trade.
