All continents are wider in the north than in the south. However, the continent with the largest distance span is Asia, followed by North America.
What else can I help you with?
Which continent appears much wider than it really is compared to other continents?
Greenland appears much wider than it actually is when compared to other continents, due to map distortion caused by the Mercator projection. Greenland is often depicted as being larger in size when compared to other continents like Africa or South America.
Which continent appears much wider than it really is compared to the other continents on a mercator projection map?
Antarctica appears much wider than it truly is. It seems to take up the whole bottom of the planet, but in reality, it is the third smallest continent. This distortion takes place because the projection of the Earth is stretched. All maps are distorted because of the sheer difficulty of projecting a 3D, globe-structed Earth onto a flat, 2D piece of paper.
Are all continents wider at the north than at the south?
No, not all continents are wider at the north than at the south. For example, Africa is wider in the north compared to the south while South America is wider in the south compared to the north. Each continent has its own unique shape and size.
Why are the continents wider on the north?
Most maps stretch out landmasses toward the poles - the closer to the pole, the more the land gets stretched out. There is more land north of the equator than south of it, so the north ends of those landmasses get stretched out on a map projection. It's much less noticeable on a globe.
What Continents with landmass that narrows?
All continents have landmasses that narrow. In fact, all continents are wider in the north than in the south. It is unknown why.

Which continent appears much wider than it really is compared to other continents on a mercator projection map?
If I remember correctly, it is Antarctica, because in the process of making a model of the earth flat so that it can become a map, the globe is distorted, meaning that some seas and continents look bigger than they really are, like Greenland.

Is the atlanic ocean getting wider?
Yes it is because studies have shown that Continents are moving closer to each other, making more room for the ocean.
