Transcontinental countries are included in the continent that contains the majority of their land.
A landmass not as large as a continent surrounded by water?
This landmass is likely an island or a group of islands located in the ocean. Examples of such landmasses include Japan, New Zealand, and the British Isles.
Which land mass is not one of the seven continents?
either the Antarctic or the arctic. because one is just pure ice, no land beneath it
What continent are the great plains on?
The Great Plains are located in North America. They cover a large portion of the central United States and extend into Canada.
What are all of the continent's land areas?
The continents by land area in descending order are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
The north Atlantic current brings warm waters from the tropics to the west coast of which continent?
The north Atlantic current brings warm waters from the tropics to the west coast of Europe. This current helps moderate the climate of countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and parts of Scandinavia, making them warmer than other regions at similar latitudes.
The Ural Mountains form the western boundary for which continent?
The Ural Mountains form the western boundary for the continent of Asia.
What did Wegener say about how continents move?
Alfred Wegener also came up with a theory to explain continental drift, although it was in error. His theory of continental drift proposed that centrifugal force moved the heavy continents toward the equator as the Earth spun. He thought that inertia, from centrifugal movement combined with tidal drag on the continents (caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon) would account for continental drift.
I think the sentence in italic and bold is the answer...

!danah!
What is the largest island continent?
asia
IT'S NOT ASIA!!! Read the question!!!First of all, by definition, an island must be smaller than a continent. Therefore, there would be no such thing as an "island continent". But if we're not splitting hairs, then the largest "island continent" would be Antarctica. Unfortunately, that's only if it's covered with ice. So if we're measuring its area without the ice, the answer to the question would be Australia.Why is antarctica called the continent of science?
Antarctica is called the "continent of science" because it serves as a valuable location for conducting various scientific research due to its isolated and pristine environment. Scientists study a wide range of subjects there including climate change, wildlife, geology, and astronomy, leading to numerous important discoveries and insights.
What continent is the Chang Jian river on?
The Chang Jiang, also known as the Yangtze River, is in Asia. It is the longest river in Asia and the third longest in the world.
Through which continent do the equator the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn all pass?
The equator passes through Africa, South America, and Asia. The Tropic of Cancer passes through Africa, Asia, and North America. The Tropic of Capricorn passes through South America, Africa, and Australia.
What pole is located in a continent southpole or North Pole?
The South Pole is located in Antarctica and therefore is on a continent. The ground is permanently frozen there with over a mile of ice above the land mass.
The North Pole is conversely NOT on a continent, it actually is not even located on land. The geographic North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and seasonally frozen over.
What layer are the continents sliding on?
The continents are sliding on the asthenosphere, which is a partially molten layer beneath the Earth's lithosphere. This movement is due to the slow convection currents in the asthenosphere causing the tectonic plates to move over time.
Name the continents that are entirely above the equator?
That would depend on which way your map is printed, and which way you hold it.
-- North America and Europe are completely north of the equator.
-- Australia and Antarctica are completely south of the equator.
-- The equator crosses each of the others.
Does the Equator pass through Norway?
No, the Equator does not pass through Norway. The Equator is an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth, dividing it into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Norway is located in the Northern Hemisphere.
What 2 continents that were once joined together?
North America and Europe were once joined together as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. Over millions of years, these landmasses drifted apart due to plate tectonics, forming the Atlantic Ocean between them.
A Norwegian scientist immigrant to Australia, Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink (1864-1934), became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic when he stepped on to Cape Adare on the 24th of January, 1895. From 1894-95 he devoted his time to exploration of Antarctica. He attempted to reach the South Pole in 1897. During this expedition, he was the first to discover lichen in the Antarctic, and reached a latitude of 78 degrees 5 minutes S.
What two continents are south of the equator?
Antarctica and Australia are the only two continents entirely south of the equator.
