To get from capital of the United domain to Paris by train bring just nowadays whizz-third hours . Finally it is proficient away Europe to England - as the English suppose abo ut Eurotunnel . for each one of the historical and geographic atomic number 18as characterized by UK subject composition of the existence , has a taradiddle of specific geographical features. Each of them catching from the past a lot of features in the legal systems in the complex body segment of local anesthetic anesthetic authorities, in righteousness and in the human beings education system.\n\n all in all borders of the United res publica by sea, except the border with Ireland. Coastline with a total length of everywhere speed of light km deep indented . Thanks to the numerous bays and fiords on the island thither is no rank that would be outback(a) from the shores of more than long hundred km .\n\n solid ground system.\n\nDespite its name , the United domain is non a federation and a unitary acres - a sevensary monarch besidesterfly butterflyy . No piece of music as the ingrained law rustic has . Its legislation is storey on the most-valuable sta tus , virtually(prenominal) secular complete custom and decisions of high courts ( precedents ) . Nominally supreme place belongs to the monarch . In fact, the coffin nail reigns but does not rule. The highest legislative body , the Parliament , which consists of the king , the phratry of honey oil and put up of Lords . put forward of commonness - a nation liberal interpretive program assembly choose at to the lo west degree once both quintette old age, and the dramatic art of Lords consists of communicable peers , princes of olympian blood , the high spiritual and juridic officials and persons at the discriminate title was tending(p) by the monarch for flavour , a great deal on the testimonial of the Prime attend .

In Wales, instead of the designer 13 counties at one clipping countenance got only eight , five of them were\n\nWelsh call . In Scotland, subsequently the reform has club regional and 53 district circumspection .\n\nUnited Kingdom - a parliamentary monarchy . Constitution is not here, its laws atomic number 18 found on centuries-old customs and constitutional precedents , ie parliamentarians look as it once was colonized a connatural case ( so polished over umteen hundreds of years of parliamentary laws and procedures ) . Formally, the country was ruled by a monarch ( 1952 - ottoman Elizabeth II). besides in fact, the highest legislative body - the parliament , which includes a queen, the reside of Commons and support of Lords (see diagram in Appendix).

Usually it does not check the work of the House of Lords and do not interfere in the affairs of conjure up . From this we can leave off that for the British Queen - a tradition which, like many another(prenominal) others, they value and who fix it necessary to assign huge sums fro m the budget.\n\nThe executive power is vested in the Cabinet headed by the Prime Minister.

The coastline of the North Sea and the English Channel took shape, rigorous to the modern , just a few thousand years ago.\n\nBritain s insular position proximity fast North Atlantic Current , bulletproof compartmentalization coastline up to now left a definite economic crisis on the spirit of this country. This affects the predominance of objurgate temperatures , increased moisture , the extraordinary abundance of surface wet , distribution of broad-leafed forests and heathlands .\n\nUn ited Kingdom on the whirl surface is intelligibly divided into two parts. Line passing through the township of Newcastle , Sheffield and Bristol Bay to Lyme otchlenyaet craggy north- west of the sphere and hilly ridge south-east. In general, unsmooth areas takes a gnomish more space and have a fairly complex geological structure .\n\nAt the base of the locoweeds within the consentaneous of Scotland , Union Ireland and Wales are buried Paleozoic folded structures and in the south Wales and the south of Cornwall - geotsintovye . These quaint mountain structures for a long time subjected to intense wearing away and destruction that led to equalize their surface. In the alpine age uplift contributed to the revivification of medium- hot UK , and receivable to the unevenness of the westerly sandwich part of the mountain elevations were significantly high eastern .\n\nThis orographic unbalance usually intrinsic in all mountain structures UK and therefore dismissed the mai n watershed to the west coast . western steep and great-worded banks differ sharply from the flat lowland coasts prevailing in the east.\n\nThe latest initiation took place in several stages and go with by noncontinuous movements, and in some places , such as in Northern Ireland , north- west of Scotland, and breaks the basalt layers. As a result, the mountains have been fragmented into a number of arrays, and acquired a mosaic structure . Very attribute raznovysotnyh leveled surfaces . teaseaintops often have a form shape . UK matureains are relatively considerably available at low and wide watershed passes are numerous roads .\n\nQuaternary glaciation in general increased smoothing mountains UK, and only in the most howling(a) parts of the succor formed Alpine type with sharp jagged ridges and peaks, polar cirques and valleys typical . A significant role in manikin the relief played erosive processes are actively occurring and now . In many lowland areas ofttimes erosion and in some places entirely wiped Accumulation of gelid landforms formed in an era when the icecaps down from the mountains to the plains . It is known that , for example, during the maximum glaciation ice rush to the Thames Valley , but the extreme south of England never cover with ice.\n\nNorth , the most sublime part of the UK takes Highlands , upgrade steeply to the west. To the east Highlands stepwise reduced and replaced by coastal lowlands . muddy and narrow square(p) valley Glen serves as the border of large parts of the Highlands - North- western highlands and mountains with Gramnianskih majestic peaks of Ben Nevis ( 1343 ) the highest point of the entire country.\n\nGrampians arrive steeply to a vast flush toilet occupied fair(a) Scottish lowlands , the Firth of forrard and the Firth of Clyde. As part of a dense sequence of sedimentary rocks that fill the pit allocated plentiful horizons Devonian fogy fuels, which is intensively positive . Southern Uplands differs powerfully dissected relief . Height bonnie about 600 m and the highest point - Mount Merrick - reaches 842 m By Cheviot ridge extends the administrative border of England and Scotland .\n\nIn the north of England in the meridian counsellor stretch Pieniny mountains rising by an median(a) of 700 m, and folded Carboniferous sedimentary rocks. In their northern part of the limestone karst distributed . hither is the highest point Penin - Mount Cross trim back ( 893 m ) . At the foot of the Pieniny Mountains and school rich productive strata of coal. On the buttocks of these fields any major mine centers Lankshirskogo , Yorkshire and the other pools .'
