The highlands are in the interior,with a belt of plains west, north, and east of them, while theirpeninsulas prolong them to the south. The first move, i, spreads out the sand toward the north inthe great low plain without a single mountain range. The lowswell of the Valdai Hills forms the principal watershed of thecontinent. Move 2 draws the heap of sand westward to repre-sent the main axis of the continent, and the great Iberian penin-sula. The third move, 3, extends this main axis of the contine
