Continents and Regions

The Mediterranean Sea is bordered by three continents: Europe to the north, Asia to the east, and Africa to the south.

1. Caspian Sea - located in Europe and Asia.
2. Lake Superior - located in North America.
3. Lake Victoria - located in Africa.

Portland, Oregon is in the US. This country is in North America.

North America is very close. But if you look carefully, you'll see that the Islands of

the Aleutian chain, part of the state of Alaska, actually extend quite a distance

past the 180th meridian and into the Eastern Hemisphere.

Those islands might be part of Alaska, but little islands aren't continents. So North America is correct.

As continents move toward the equator due to continental drift, their climates become warmer and wetter. This is because they are positioned closer to the sun, leading to more direct sunlight and higher temperatures. Additionally, their proximity to ocean currents can also influence their climate.

Assuming you meant the Arabian Sea, it borders the continent of Asia. Some of the countries that border the Arabian Sea are Pakistan, Oman, Iran, and India.

The two continents not listed on the facing page could be Africa and Australia.

Continents and oceans are both part of Earth's surface. They are interconnected and together make up the Earth's lithosphere. Continents are large land masses above sea level, while oceans are vast bodies of saltwater that cover a majority of the Earth's surface.

The continent with the second smallest land area is Europe, but it has the second largest population in the world. This is due to its high population density and historical factors like urbanization and industrialization.

Australia is the smallest continent, with an area of 7,686,745 square kilometres (2,967,894 square miles).

Ebola outbreaks have been primarily reported in Africa, particularly in countries in Central and West Africa.

Approximately 335 million years ago, all the Earth's continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, due to the movement of tectonic plates, Pangaea began to break apart, leading to the formation of the continents as we know them today.

Australia is not a continent. However, Oceania is. It is mostly made of tiny islands and is much smaller than Europe.

Pacific Islanders primarily come from the regions of Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean. Although these islands are geographically scattered throughout the Pacific, they are collectively referred to as Pacific Islands.

Europe is west of the Ural Mountains.

Antarctica has the steepest average slope of any continent, with much of its surface being covered by thick ice sheets that can create steep gradients.

Europe's access to water has benefited the continent by providing essential resources for agriculture, industry, and transportation. It has fostered economic development, supported urban growth, and facilitated trade and communication. Additionally, Europe's waterways have historically played a key role in shaping the cultural and political landscape of the continent.

The continents in order by size (land area) from largest to smallest are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

The Sahara desert is the largest in the world. It is located in Africa.

The evidence supporting the theory of continental drift includes the jigsaw-like fit of the continents' coastlines, similarities in rock formations and fossil patterns across continents that are now separated by oceans, and the presence of identical species on continents that are now far apart but were once connected. Additionally, studies of the Earth's magnetic field and ocean floor spreading further support the idea of plate tectonics and continental movement.

Spain and Portugal focused on conquering the southern continent of South America, especially during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Europe is called the Urban Continent because it has a high population density and a large percentage of its population lives in urban areas. The continent is known for its numerous cities, cultural diversity, and advanced infrastructure, making it one of the most urbanized regions in the world.

Asia has the greatest population. Almost half the people in the world live in Asia.

A location at 40 degrees north and 90 degrees east falls in Central Asia, specifically in Kazakhstan, near the border with Uzbekistan. It is a remote area characterized by vast steppes and desert landscapes.

Central America is part of North America. All of the Central American countries are officially part of that continent.
