Antarctica has thick ice cover and the highest average elevation of all the continents because of its location on the south pole.
Antarctica has the highest "average" elevation of all the continents due to the ice pack, and it has the lowest elevation of all the continents getting down to 1.5 km below sea level.
Antarctica is the continent with the highest mean elevation in the world. Antarctica's average elevation is 2,500 meters which is why it has the highest elevation of all the continents.
Other than an estimate for Antarctica (average 2 km of ice cap), there are no reliable estimates of average continental elevation. However, Asia, North America, and Africa have large areas of relatively high elevation as compared to Europe and Australia.
All of the continets are above sea level at some point.
There is no data available for "average elevations of continents" except that Antarctica, with its deep ice cap, has the highest overall elevation. This would not be the case if considering the underlying land surface. Of the 7 classic continents, Australia (proper) may have the lowest elevation because it has fewer tall mountain ranges than Europe or the Americas.Asia has the lowest and highest points on earth, the Dead Sea on Israel/Jordan border is the lowest and the highest is Mount Everest, Nepal/China
The continent of Antarctica is the highest in average elevation, as it has the highest average elevation of all the continents. However, if you are referring to the continent with the highest point above sea level, then it would be Asia, with Mount Everest located on the border of Nepal and China.
Antarctica is considered the world's flattest and driest continent. With an average elevation of around 7,545 feet, it has the highest average altitude among the continents. Antarctica is also the driest continent, receiving very little precipitation in the form of snow.
The continent with the lowest average annual precipitation is Antarctica.
The average elevation of the Earth's continents is about 840 meters (2,756 feet) above sea level. This average takes into account all the landmasses on Earth, including the highest mountains and deepest valleys.
Antarctica is the continent that is highest on average. It has an average elevation of around 7,545 feet (2,300 meters) above sea level.
Antarctica with an average elevation of 7,500 feet above sea level. Antarctica is also the driest, coldest and windiest continent on earth, has the most fresh water (frozen) and is the largest desert.
Antarctica is the highest continent given its size and average elevation.
