#1:

Antarctica sits like a 'cap' on the globe, with the South Pole near its center.

So every possible meridian of longitude traverses Antarctica.

#3:

North America . . .

Attu Island at the end of Alaska's Aleutian chain reaches to 172.44° East

longitude, and about 5 miles southeast of St. John's, Newfoundland is the

easternmost point on the continent, at about 52.62° West longitude ... for

a total spread of 134.94° on North America.

#2:

Asia . . .

Without going to the trouble of investigating the true western boundary of Asia,

I'll call it Turkey, which begins at 25.68° East longitude. The eastern extent of

the continent appears to be Russia's Ostrova Diomida (Big Diomede Island) in the

Bering Strait, at 169.0 East longitude.

That makes Asia's total extent 143.32° of longitude.

Does each degree of longitude correspond to 111 kilometers at the North Pole?

No. All of the meridians of longitude converge at the poles. So the north pole is located at every longitude,and the distance between any two longitudes at the north pole is zero.The largest distance covered by a degree of longitude occurs along the equator, where the meridiansare spread farthest apart. That's where one degree of longitude traverses about 111.22 km. (rounded)
