Работу выполнила: студентка группы МИЯ-18 Мыльникова Анна

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom with population close to 55 million, which accounts for 84% of the UK population. Not only England is the biggest country by population in UK, it is 25th largest country in the world by population if it is independent from UK and the fifth largest in Europe.
England is bordered by Wales to the west and Scotland to the north. It has a total area of 130,279 km2. The capital city of England is London. Other major cities include Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, Newcastle and Leeds.
Based on our research, England population will reach 56.521 million by 1st July of 2022. We use first day of July each year due to Office for National Statistics (ONS normally publishes the estimated population data for the same period. The calculation is based on the average growth rate of 0.59% over last 10 years since 2011. We believe using the recent years’ figures (see the table in next section) will make the estimation more accurate.

Population Growth of England
Looking back last ten years of England’s population, the growth rate is slow but consistent ranging from 0.37% to 0.91%, adding around 200,000 to 480,000 people each year to the overall population. The growth relies on organic growth, which means not many people move out or in this country. Comparing with UK population growth, England population growth rate is below the UK growth rate.

Land
England is bounded on the north by Scotland; on the west by the Irish Sea, Wales, and the Atlantic Ocean; on the south by the English Channel; and on the east by the North Sea.
Relief
England’s topography is low in elevation but, except in the east, rarely flat. Much of it consists of rolling hillsides, with the highest elevations found in the north, northwest, and southwest. This landscape is based on complex underlying structures that form intricate patterns on England’s geologic map. The oldest sedimentary rocks and some igneous rocks (in isolated hills of granite) are in Cornwall and Devon on the southwestern peninsula, ancient volcanic rocks underlie parts of the Cumbrian Mountains, and the most recent alluvial soils cover the Fens Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, and Norfolk. Between these regions lie bands of sandstones and limestones of different geologic periods, many of them relicts of primeval times when large parts of central and southern England were submerged below warm seas. Geologic forces lifted and folded some of these rocks to form the spine of northern England—the Pennines, which rise to 2,930 feet (893 metres) at Cross Fell.
