The Ural Mountains lie mainly along the 60° East Longitude Line.

Explanation:

Russia is the largest country in the world in land area, and it is the biggest by far. The country stretches from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east, and from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Caucasus and Central Asian steppes. The size of the country has created a lot of good conditions for development (a lot of natural resources) but also some problems (huge distances and inhospitable climate).

The Ural Mountains are a mountain chain in Russia. They are stretching in a roughly north-south direction from the Arctic coastline to the Caspian Sea coastline. This mountain range lies roughly on the 60° East Longitude Line. The Ural Mountains, in their peak, were among the highest mountains in the world, and they are also among the oldest mountains still in existence, but over the course of hundreds of millions of years the erosion has been leveling them and they are now ranging from low to medium height.
