The mountain range primarily located in Russia is the Ural Mountains. This range extends about 1,500 miles from the Arctic Ocean to the Caspian Sea, forming a natural boundary between European and Asian Russia. The Urals are rich in mineral resources and are significant for their contributions to the country's economy, including mining activities. This ancient range is characterized by diverse landscapes, including tundra, taiga, and steppe. The Ural Mountains also have cultural and historical significance, influencing settlement patterns and regional identities in Russia.
