Continents and Regions

The seven main continents are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and South America. Each continent is a large landmass that is part of Earth's geography.

Usually there are many countries comprising a continent, however, that is not true of Australia.

However the fundamental difference is that a continent is a geological/physical geographical entity while a country is a geopolitical entity.

Europe is the continent that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to Asia, separated by the Ural Mountains.

Geographers divide the world into regions to help understand and analyze patterns and characteristics that exist in different areas. This allows them to study the similarities and differences between regions, and better comprehend factors such as physical geography, climate, demographics, and cultural practices that shape each region. Regional divisions also facilitate the organization and communication of information for research and educational purposes.

Antarctica is a continent that changes in size during the seasons due to the expansion and contraction of its ice sheets. During the winter months, the continent expands as more sea ice forms, while in the summer months, the ice melts causing the continent to shrink in size.

Antarctica is a continent located south of the equator. It is the southernmost continent and is mostly covered in ice, making it the coldest and windiest place on Earth.

The theory for the movement of the continents is called "continental drift." It was developed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century and later evolved into the theory of plate tectonics.
