Europe is one of the most intensively used continents on the globe. It has the highest proportion of land (up to 80 %) used for settlement, production systems (in particular agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure.

The land is vary from place to place because quality of soil vary from one place to another. Explanation: Organic matter plays a significant role in preserving the quality of soil. Organic matter can: increase the soil’s nutrient ability and release plant nutrients.

Throughout Western Europe the lands are used for many different types of agriculture, which is caused by the differences in climates and the different terrain that can be found in each region. The distinct types of agriculture are Mediterranean polyculture, dairy farming, and mixed livestock and crop farming.

Religion in Europe has been a major influence on today’s society, art, culture, philosophy and law. The largest religion in Europe is Christianity, but irreligion and practical secularisation are strong.

The Pampas, for example, is an extremely fertile plains region in South America. The Pampas includes parts of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.
