Great Britain
Great Britain's topography is characterized by a diverse landscape shaped by its geological history. The island predominantly features lowland terrain in the east and south, with rolling countryside and plains, while the western and northern regions are marked by hills and mountains. Notable upland areas include the Lake District and the Pennines in England, the Grampian Mountains in Scotland, and the Cambrian Mountains in Wales. The highest peak, Ben Nevis in Scotland, rises to 1,345 meters (4,413 feet). The terrain also showcases features such as the White Cliffs of Dover, composed of chalk and flint, and the rugged landscapes formed by glacial activity during the last ice age.
