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 do the glossopteris fossils tell us about the early position of the continents?
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.
How many contanents does the equator cross?
Three: Africa, Asia, and South America.
When was it noticed that continents fit together?
The first observation that continents seemed to fit together like puzzle pieces was made in the late 16th century by Abraham Ortelius, a Flemish cartographer. However, the theory of continental drift, proposing that continents were once part of a single supercontinent, was popularized by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century.
What were the three things that Alfred wegener used to prove the theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegner had 4 theory`s,Climate evidence,Fossil evidence,the continents fitting together like a puzzle,and horizontal movement. The fossils were different types of ancient ferns and Dinosaurs.
What are three areas where plate boundaries may be located?
Middle of the ocean floor, around the edges of the continents, and within the continents.
What three continents come together in southwest Asia?
Africa, Asia, and Europe come together in Southwest Asia.
What three continents came together to form Pangaea?
It wasn't three continents it was all of them.
How many times have all of Earth's continents come together to form a super-continent?
It is estimated that Earth's continents have come together to form a super-continent around three times in the last 600 million years. This cycle of continents coming together and then breaking apart is known as the supercontinent cycle. Examples of supercontinents include Pangea, Rodinia, and Columbia.
Why do geographers call Arabia a crossroads location?
Arabia lies near the intersection of three continents--Africa, Asia, and Europe. Trade routes link the three countinents together.
How did the continents come 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.
What are the two continents combined to result an Asia?
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.
How long should it take for the continents to come together?
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.
How can the continents come back together?
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.
What are the two continents that are part of the same large landmasses?
Europe and Asia, that come together to form Euraisa
What country borders three continents?
There is no country that borders three continents.
Which continents were part of laurissa?
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.
What was it called when the continents were together?
When the continents were together it was called "pangea"
