Turkey and Sweden

   Turkey is a Eurasian country located in Western Asia and in East Thrace in Southeastern Europe. Turkey demarcates the boundary between East Thrace and Anatolia, which also separates Europe and Asia. Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union by area. It is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe. Turkey and Sweden have differences in terms of location, climate, and population.

Turkey is located on two continents, Europe and Asia. The Asian side is called Anatolia and the European side is called Eastern Thrace. However, Sweden is a northern European country located on the Scandinavian Peninsula. Turkey is surrounded by four seas: the Black Sea in the north, the Marmara Sea in the northwest, the Aegean Sea in the west and the Mediterranean in the south. Sweden has three major rivers: the Ume, the Torne, and the Angerman rivers. On the other hand, Turkey has the most well-known rivers the  Euphrates and Tigris. In addition, the largest lake in Western Europe, Vanern, is located in the southwestern part of Sweden. Also, the longest river is the Kızılırmak in Turkey.

The climate is typically Mediterranean with dry summers and rainy during the fall and spring. There is more rain along the Mediterranean and Black Sea shores, where mountains are parallel to the shore. In contrast, the climate of Sweden varies based on the location but it is mainly temperate in the South and subarctic in the North. In the South, summers are cool and partly cloudy, while winters are cold and usually cloudy. Because northern Sweden is within the Arctic Circle, it has long very cold winters, In addition, because of its northern latitude, much of Sweden stays dark for long periods during the winter and light Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, has a relatively mild climate because it is on the coast toward the southern part of the country.

The population of Turkey is around 65 million, but the population of Sweden is approximately 9, 5 million. Turkey has a much bigger population they cannot be compared in this respect.. The majority of the population is very young and growth is fast in Turkey while the population of, Sweden consists of old-aged people on large scale.

Turkey and Sweden are different countries. One country is surrounded by four seas while the other country is a peninsula. Turkey and Sweden can be compared geographically, climatically, and demographically. Compared in terms of population, there are different results because both countries are totally different from each other.
