North Sea
The North Sea is
marginal,
epeiric sea of the
Atlantic Ocean on the European
continental shelf between
Norway and
Denmark in the east,
Scotland and
England in the west, and
Germany, the
Netherlands,
Belgium and
France in the south. The North Sea is over 600 miles long and 350 miles wide, and has an area of around 222,000 square miles. Many of the important rivers of Europe drain into the North Sea and it serves as the only drainage for the
Baltic Sea as well, through the
Skagerrak and the
Kattegat, between Denmark, Norway, and
Sweden. In the south, the North Sea connects with the rest of the Atlantic through the
Strait of Dover into the
English Channel and in the north through the
Norwegian Sea. The North Sea has long been one of the important commercial highways of the world, as well as a source for valuable resources for border countries, but also a source of concern about the environmental effects of this economic bounty.
