England And the Wales, two historical territories borrowing a southern part about. The Great Britain. Together with Scotland and Northern Ireland they are a part of the United Kingdom the Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Though in the political attitude England and the Wales are incorporated with 1536, each of these parts has kept the specificity and the name. The name "England" has occured from a tribe anglov, moved on east coast of the Great Britain in 5 century Before occurrence of aiaei-saxophones this territory referred to as Britain by name keltskih tribes brittov, migrated on island, possibly, earlier 500 up to n.e. The word "Wales" too has a aiaei-Saxon origin and in translation " the country of strangers " means. uelstsy prefer keltsky the term "Kimru", translated as " the country of fellow tribesmen ", but outside the Wales it is not applied. Distribution of the term "England" to the Wales is perceived by its inhabitants as the insult. From cleanly oeceei-geographical positions England and the Wales can be considered as Southern Britain. Under the law 1972 system of local management of England and the Wales has been reorganized. England has been divided into 45 counties and 296 districts, and the Wales - on 8 counties and 37 districts.
THE NATURE
The Structure of a surface. On features of a relief Southern Britain shares on two parts - heights of the West and the north and lowland of the south and the east. The limitor line between them approximately passes from a mouth r. eks in Devon up to a mouth r. Secrets in a county Tyne and Wear. It traditionally separated pastoral landscapes (to the north and the West) from agricultural (to the south and the east). Industrial revolution has considerably transformed a life in pastoral districts whereas in agricultural changes has not occured almost. As a whole relative economic and political value of both areas has essentially changed.
The Wales - mainly highland, and a degree raschlenennosti a relief and its heights increase in a northwest direction. The mountain Snowdon (1085) located on northern edge of Cambrian mountains, is the highest point of the country. In the Wales is available a lot of rather narrow, but very fertile valleys. The surface less dismembered becomes closer to England, and valleys extend. Island Anglesea at northwest coast of the Wales basically low, ground there are suitable for agriculture. The Most part of territory of Cornwall, Devon, northern Somerset and Avon in southwest England is borrowed by the dismembered heights, heights here do not exceed 600 m. The Majority of the large rivers of England flows on the east and runs into Northern sea. Among them (from the north on the south) - Tweed, Secrets, the Yew, Humber (with inflows Ouse, Uorf, Ayr and Trent), Uitem, Welland, Ouse and Thames. The rivers current on the south, usually fine and non-navigable. However in ustjah some of them there are excellent natural harbours about what speak their names: Falmut, Plymouth, eksmut, Weymouth, Bournemouth, Tinmut and Portsmouth. Some larger rivers flow from the north on the south and then turn to the West, and in them ustjah or nearby from them there are greater seaports. Among such rivers - the Moon (port Lancaster), Ribl (port Preston), Mersi (ports Liverpool and Birkenhead), Dee (port Chester) and Severn (ports Bristol and Cardiff). The rivers of Southern Britain form the best system of internal waterways of the message in the east, but the most good ports are at southern and western coasts. The general extent of a coastal line of 3780 km. Economic value of the rivers of England has increased after carrying out dnouglubitelnyh works and construction of connecting channels. The network of internal waterways in extensive territory from Thames and Severna in the south up to Mersi and Trent in the north has been as a result created. Some channels lost in competitiveness to the railways, many of them even have been thrown. Others, on the contrary, have adapted to the changed conditions and are intensively used for transportations. The channels connecting the rivers Dees and Severn, Trent and Mersi, Thames and Avon, Thames and Ouse, Uitem and Trent are allocated. There are also short, but the important channels serving industrial regions of Merseyside, the Greater Manchester, Uest-and South Yorkshire. From not numerous islands bordering coast of Southern Britain, the largest both important - Uajt and Anglesea (last Gwynedd in the Welsh county).
The Climate of Southern Britain is caused mainly by its seaside position nearby from Gulf Stream and prevalence of winds of the western points. Softening influence on a climate is rendered with the surrounding seas and the winds, blowing in the winter mainly from a southwest and in the summer - from the West. The western coast and the western part of the southern coast, more subject to influence of these winds, have the least amplitudes of temperatures. La Manche, valley Severna and - to a lesser degree - mountain passes further to the north promote distribution of oceanic influence on more east areas. Nevertheless are kept essential kdimaticheskie distinctions between east and western coasts. Prevailing winds of the western points bring deposits on the most part of territory of Southern Britain. As a result at the western coast drops out much more deposits, than on east. The difference between them, undoubtedly, would be more sensitive, if not high vlagonasyshchennost the western air streams already irrigated territory of Ireland which name " a umbrella of England ".
