Because we say so? Definitions of Europe often start with "a
continent......" from a beginning like that its obvious you are not
going to find too solid a scientific basis.
Where would you have it part of? Tell me where to draw the line,
scotland, orkney, shetland, faroes, iceland? Mind you, I think Blair
thinks UK is on the north american techtonic plate.
