The Ural Mountains, or the Urals, are found in Russia and mark Europe’s eastern continental border with Asia. They were formed between 250 and 300 million years ago due to continental collisions.
These mountains form a natural divide between Europe and Asia and separate Russia into western Russia and eastern Russia. Western Russia lies in Europe and Eastern Russia, also called Siberia, lies in Asia.
The Urals are rich in mineral and metal deposits and are part of a highly developed industrial complex. They are divided into five sections. The Polar Urals, Subpolar Urals, Northern Urals, Middle Urals and the Southern Urals.
