England, Scotland, and Wales are a series of islands of the west coast of Europe. They make up the U.K. Scotland is made up of the Highlands, the Central Lowlands, and the Southern Uplands. It is usually very overcast, meaning it is very rainy, misty, and cloudy. England is a very small island and is covered in wetlands. The terrain is very swampy and low-lying allowing birds and plants to have a home there. Finally, Wales is rugged and almost completely surrounded by water. It is very cool and wet all year. These three islands make up one country, but are different in some ways.
