Continents are big land masses surrounded by water on all sides (although a small connection to another land is also allowed, see the separation of North and South America).
Europe is considered a continent only for cultural reasons - it is not actually separated from Asia by any land of water.

These factors make the Danube River important to Eastern Europe.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

(A) It connects Western and Central Europe.

(C) It is an important trade route.

(D) It is used for transportation.

Explanation:

The Danube is a river in central Europe and the second longest in this continent (the first is the Volga), which flows mainly through ten countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) to finally flow into the Black Sea.

This river is of great importance for Eastern Europe because its channel serves as an international bridge for agricultural, fishing, tourism, commercial and industrial activities. In addition, the majority of the population that lives in its vicinity, depends on the water of the Danube to carry out its activities, which is why there is a large number of reservoirs and dams on its way.

Another important aspect is that the Danube has a high economic potential, due to its capacities for transport, commerce and tourism, so the use and use of its waters has been promoted.

continental drift was first proposed by a scientist named alfred . he theorized that the were once one large landmass that drift
asambeis [7]

Answer: large-scale horizontal movements of continents relative to one another and to the ocean basins during one or more episodes of geologic time. This concept was an important precursor to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which incorporates it.The idea of a large-scale displacement of continents has a long history. Noting the apparent fit of the bulge of eastern South America into the bight of Africa, the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt theorized about 1800 that the lands bordering the Atlantic Ocean had once been joined. Some 50 years later, Antonio Snider-Pellegrini, a French scientist, argued that the presence of identical fossil plants in both North American and European coal deposits could be explained if the two continents had formerly been connected, a relationship otherwise difficult to account for. In 1908 Frank B. Taylor of the United States invoked the notion of continental collision to explain the formation of some of the world’s mountain ranges.
