1. Asia (43,820,000 km2)
2. Africa (30,370,000 km2)
3. North America (24,490,000 km2)
However, there are other rankings based on if you include North and South America as one continent (America) and Africa, Europe, and Asia as one (Afro-Eurasia). In which case, the rankings would be:
1. Afro-Eurasia (84,370,000 km2)
2. America (42,330,000 km2)
3. Antarctica (13,720,000 km2)
what three continents border the Mediterranean sea?
Well, many many years ago all of the continents were fitted togother in a supercontinent called Pangaea. But, according to plate tectonics, they spread the sea floor apart which, in then, separted in what we have now the 7 continents. In the future it probably will come back together again.
shows that all three continents were once connected (joined) together. because the 'exact' same fossil types were found in all three different continents, which are now split from each other.
pangaea was all the continents together as one.on the other hand, the present continents were separated, unlike pangaea.
Scientists believe that ALL continents were once joined, not just 2. The combination of the continents are call Pangea.
Africa, Asia, and Europe come together in Southwest Asia.
It wasn't three continents it was all of them.
Arabia lies near the intersection of three continents--Africa, Asia, and Europe. Trade routes link the three countinents together.
Continental drift is the theory that explains how the Earth's continents have moved over time due to the process of plate tectonics. About 300 million years ago, all the continents were part of a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates has separated and repositioned the continents to their current locations.
Asia is one continent on its own. There are no two continents which come together which make up the Asian continent. However, during the time the continents were all together, this was known as Pangaea.
It took millions of years for the continents to come together to form the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed around 335 million years ago. The process of the continents drifting apart and coming back together, known as plate tectonics, is a slow geological process that occurs over millions of years.
Continents are part of tectonic plates that move around on Earth's surface. In theory, continents could come back together through tectonic plate movement if they were to collide again. This process would take millions of years and could lead to the formation of a supercontinent, like Pangea.
Europe and Asia, that come together to form Euraisa
There is no country that borders three continents.
Laurentia, Baltica, and Avalonia were the main continents that formed the supercontinent of Laurussia during the Paleozoic era. Over time, these three continents merged together to form the core landmass of the northern hemisphere.
When the continents were together it was called "pangea"
The three continents are Europe, Asia, and Africa.
