Forces of gigantic proportions created volcanoes, mountains and deep-sea trenches in the Mediterranean. Europe's coastal region is characterized by mountains and various vegetation zones, while various desert forms predominate on the African coast. Animals that want to survive in these extremes must find a way to escape the deadly threats.
