A mountain range that runs north and south through western Russia and the Eurasian continent, and has historically been considered the border between Asia and Europe. It is about 2000 km long and 60-150 km wide. From north to south, it is divided into Polar, Parapolar, Northern, Central, and Southern. The highest point is Mount Narodnaya (1894m) in the Parapolar Urals. It is rich in resources such as iron, copper, nickel, chromium, manganese, coal, oil, and potash salts. The Southern Urals are also blessed with forest resources, and the foothills on the east and west are important industrial areas.
