European LandmarksEurope is one of the seven continents. The other six are North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Australasia and Antarctica. Some of the countries in Europe are the United Kingdom, France, Holland and Greece. Throughout Europe, you can find a variety of famous landmarks that bring millions of tourists to the continent every year. Here are three famous human landmarks.

Terrific TowerThe Eiffel Tower can be found in Paris, France. It was completed on 31st March 1889 and took two years, two months and five days to build. Since then, it has had many renovations and has even had a temporary garden and an ice rink. Until 1930, it was the tallest building in the world, being 324 metres tall.

Seven million tourists visit every year, making it the most-visited paid monument in the world. There are even smaller copies of the tower in Las Vegas, USA and Prague, Czech Republic.

Mysterious StonesThe mysterious Stonehenge can be found in the English countryside in Wiltshire. People believe that the stones were erected around 5,000 years ago, but nobody is sure why. Many historians believe it was once a burial ground.

How the stones got there is still a mystery to this day. Many believe that the smaller bluestones were brought to Wiltshire from the Preseli Hills, in Wales - over 200 miles away. Without modern technology, and with the blue stones weighing up to 4 tons, how were the builders able to move them so far?

The mystery of the stones brings almost a million visitors every year, with its busiest day on 21st June for the Summer Solstice.

European Landmarks

Colourful Cathedral St. Basil’s Cathedral can be found in Moscow, Russia. It was ordered to be built by Ivan the Terrible to celebrate his victory over the Kazan Khanate. It was built from 1555-61. Known for its bright colours and distinct shaped domes, St. Basil’s is the only cathedral of its kind; which is why so many people flock to the famous landmark every year. Inside is just as colourful – it has nine rooms inside, all decorated differently and dedicated to different saints. The cathedral’s design and colours are often mistaken for the Kremlin, the home of the Russian president.

GlossaryContinent - A group of countries.Landmark - An object that is well known and easily remembered.

Monument - A statue or building to remember an important person or time. Erect - To put something together or build.

7. Why has the author described Stonehenge as ‘mysterious’? Pupil’s own response, such as: I believe the author has described Stonehenge as mysterious because not much is known about it. No one knows for sure why it was built, and no one knows how the stones were moved over 200 miles without modern technology.

8. Which of the three landmarks would you most like to visit and why? Pupil’s own response, that gives reasons, such as: I would most like to visit St Basil’s Cathedral because there are no other cathedral’s in the world like it, and I would like to see how all of the different rooms are decorated inside.

Other hunters ‘sit and wait’

Sunlight Zone Sleek bodied fish swim fast to catch their prey. Sunlight allows plants to grow so

plant feeders are also found.

Twilight Zone Due to lack of sunlight no plants grow. Creatures tend to be slower moving. They

will filter the water to feed, graze or hunt.

The Layers of the Ocean Ocean LayersOceans cover two thirds of our Earth. The ocean is deeper in some places than others. We call these different depths, layers. Each layer is special, with different animals and plants living there.

The Sunlight ZoneThe Sunlight Zone is up to 200m below the surface of the ocean. Sunlight can reach this layer. Most of all, ocean animals and plants live here. The water is warm and both humans and fish swim here.

The Twilight ZoneThe Twilight Zone is up to 1000m below the surface of the ocean. The sunlight cannot reach this layer so it is very dark. Animals that live here often have big eyes to help them see.

The TrenchThe Trench is up to 11,000m below the surface of the ocean. The Trench is also known as the ocean floor. The temperature here is near freezing.

The AbyssThe Abyss is up to 6000m below the surface of the ocean. Sunlight cannot reach this level at all and the water is near freezing. Only a few animals can live here, such as sea stars and crabs.

Did You Know?The deepest part of the ocean is in the Mariana Trench. It is almost 11,000m deep!

The Midnight ZoneThe Midnight Zone is up to 4000m below the surface of the ocean. Sunlight cannot reach this layer, which means it is pitch black. Many animals that live here make their own light, such as lanternfish.

The Layers of the Ocean Ocean LayersOceans cover two thirds of our Earth. There are five main oceans: the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Southern Ocean.

The Sunlight ZoneThe Sunlight Zone is up to 200m below the surface of the ocean. Sunlight can reach this layer. Most of all ocean life is found here

and many plants, such as seaweed, live here. The water is warm because of the

sun. Both humans and fish play and explore here.

Ocean LayersThe ocean is deeper in some places than others. We call these different depths layers. Each layer has its own characteristics and unique set of animals which live there. Read on to find out about the different layers...


The TrenchThe Trench is up to 11,000m below the surface of the ocean. The Trench is also known as the ocean floor. This zone can only be explored using special scientific equipment. The temperature is near freezing.

The AbyssThe Abyss is up to 6000m below the surface of the ocean. The sunlight cannot reach this level at all and water in this layer is near freezing. Very few creatures live here, mainly invertebrates, such as sea stars.

Did You Know?The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of all the oceans. It is so deep in places that the world’s tallest mountain, Everest, would sink without a trace!

The Midnight ZoneThe Midnight Zone is up to 4000m below the surface of the ocean. Sunlight cannot reach this layer, which means it is pitch black. Many creatures make their own light to help them to hunt their prey. Some creatures dive to these depths to hunt, for example, the sperm whale.
