Continents and Regions

Antarctica is the only continent that does not have any edges meeting a plate boundary. It lies entirely within the Antarctic Plate.

Africa and South America have coastlines that fit together like puzzle pieces, particularly along the western edges where the continents appear to have once been connected before drifting apart. This phenomenon is known as continental drift and provides evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

It is Europe, which has a density of approximately 70 people/km2 (181 people/mi2).

The Yellow River flows through China in Asia. It is the second-longest river in China and is known for its high sediment load, giving the river its distinctive yellow color.

The two continents that have many islands as part of them are Asia and Europe. Asia contains island countries like Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines, while Europe has islands such as the United Kingdom, Iceland, and Cyprus.

The Prime Meridian and the equator cross this continent - Africa

(Correct me if i am wrong please!)

Antarctica is a continent that changes size depending on the season, as its ice sheets expand and contract with the varying temperatures. The continent can nearly double in size during the winter months when the ice is at its maximum extent.

The continent with over 4 billion people is Asia. It is the most populous continent in the world, with countries like China and India having the largest populations.

Approximately 4 billion people live on the continent of Asia.

Glaciers are not as prevalent in southern continents like South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica today because of the warmer temperatures. Climate change has caused glaciers to melt and retreat in these regions, making them less common compared to the northern continents where they still exist.

The northern hemisphere includes oceans and continents between the equator and the North Pole. This region encompasses North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa, as well as the Arctic Ocean.

When two continents collide, it usually forms a convergent boundary. This often leads to the creation of mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust. Examples include the Himalayas formed by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate.

Nicaragua is located in the continent of North America.

Europe is the second smallest continent in terms of land area, covering approximately 6.8% of the Earth's total land area. It is slightly larger than Australia and significantly smaller than Asia, Africa, and North and South America.

The Korean Conflict took place on the Korean Peninsula, which is located in Asia.

Without additional information on the number of continents or their relative sizes, it is impossible to provide an exact size for each continent based on the circumference of the globe. In general, the continents should be divided proportionally based on their actual sizes on Earth to fit within the 9.5-inch circumference. Furthermore, the scale of the continents may need to be adjusted to ensure they are identifiable within the constraints of the globe model.

The position of continents has changed over time due to plate tectonics. Continents have moved through processes like seafloor spreading, where new crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, and subduction, where crust is pulled back into the Earth’s mantle. Over millions of years, these movements have created the current positions of the continents on Earth’s surface.

Yes, they do touch in northeastern Europe. However, the Suez Canal now goes through that part of Egypt but they are still sort of connected.

The Middle East is considered a crossroads of three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe. It serves as a hub for trade, culture, and history connecting these three continents. The region's strategic location has made it a center of global importance throughout history.

Bali is not a country or a continent. It is an Indonesian island known for its beautiful beaches, lush rice terraces, and rich cultural heritage. It is part of the country of Indonesia, located in Southeast Asia.

Australia is often referred to as the island continent because it is the only continent that is entirely surrounded by water. It is the world's smallest continent and largest island, making it unique in its geography and isolation from other landmasses.

Africa and South America have a similar physical shape due to their east-west elongation, with a bulge in the middle. They both have diverse landscapes, including coastal areas, tropical rainforests, and mountain ranges.

Israel is located in the continent of Asia.

England is not a continent and it never will be. It is a country that is part of Europe.

Asia, Africa, Australia, South America and Antarctica lie partially or completely South of the Equator. 5.
