People say Africa is in four hemispheres because that's true. It straddles the equator (Equatorial Africa includes Gabon, Congo, Zaire, Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia), putting it in both the northern and southern hemispheres. And it straddles the prime meridian (which runs through Algeria, Mali, Upper Volta, and Ghana), putting it in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

Which continent extends to all four hemispheres?

Well, I wouldn't say it "extends". It's just that both boundary lines ... the one that separatesthe northern and southern hemispheres and the one that separates the eastern and westernhemispheres ... happen to both pass through Africa, putting parts of that continent in all four hemispheres.Sure, Africa is a good-size land-mass, but its size is not the reason that it crosses all of thelines into all of the hemispheres. Asia is much bigger than Africa, but is almost completelyin the northern and eastern hemispheres, with only a tiny part in the southern one.
