Annotation
This scientific work is devoted to the study of the geographical position and
natural resources of Great Britain. Located in the northwestern part of Europe, Great
Britain has a strategic maritime position near major sea routes, which has significantly
influenced its historical, economic, and political development. The country's varied
topography—including mountains and lowlands—and its temperate maritime climate
have provided favorable conditions for the development of agriculture and industry.
