The British Isles are a group of islands off
the northwest coast of continental Europe
that include the islands of Great Britain,
Ireland and over six thousand smaller isles.
There are two sovereign states located on
the islands: the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly
known as the United Kingdom) and the
Republic of Ireland (officially and also known
commonly as Ireland). The British Isles also
include three dependencies of the British
Crown: the Isle of Man and, by tradition, the
Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of
Guernsey in the Channel Islands, although
the latter are not physically a part of the
archipelago.

The term British Isles is controversial in Ireland,where there are objections
to its usage due to the association of the word British with Ireland.The
Government of Ireland does not use the term and its embassy in London
discourages its use.As a result, Britain and Ireland is becoming a preferred
description,and Atlantic Archipelago is increasingly favoured in
academia,although British Isles is still commonly employed.

Geography
The British Isles lie at the juncture of several
regions with past episodes of tectonic mountain
building. These orogenic belts form a complex
geology which records a huge and varied span of
earth history.

The islands enjoy a mild
climate and varied soils,
giving rise to a diverse
pattern of vegetation.
Animal and plant life in the
archipelago is similar to that
of the northwestern European continent.
However, there are few numbers of species with
Ireland having even less. All native flora and
fauna in Ireland, for example, is made up of
species that migrated from the elsewhere in
Europe, and Great Britain in particular. However,
the only window during which this could occur
was between the end of the last Ice Age (about
12,000 years ago) and when the land bridge
connecting the two islands was flooded by sea
(about 8,000 years ago).

Demographics
The demographics of the British Isles today are
characterised by a generally high density of
population in England, which accounts for almost
80% of the total population of the islands. In
elsewhere on Great Britain and on Ireland, high
density of population is limited to areas around,
or close to, a few large cities. The largest urban
area by far is the London metropolitan area with
12–14 million inhabitants. Other major
populations centres include Greater Manchester
Urban Area (2.5 million), West Midlands
conurbation (2.3 million), West Yorkshire Urban
Area (2.1 million) in England, Greater Glasgow
(1.7 million) in Scotland and Greater Dublin Area
(1.6 million) in Ireland.
