North and South America combine to form the Americas. Europe and Asia combine to form Eurasia. However, Africa is too connected to Eurasia, making it Afroeurasia.
horses originate from areas of North America. They are one of the few animal groups that migrated to Eurasia from the Alaska-Russia land bridge (most animals went from Eurasia to North America). Many people mistake the horse from being native to Eurasia and parts of Africa, but they are native to the Americas.
Ideas spread more easily in Eurasia than in the Americas primarily due to the continent's extensive east-west axis, which allows for similar climates, agricultural practices, and cultural exchanges across vast distances. In contrast, the Americas' north-south orientation presents diverse climates and ecosystems that hinder the diffusion of ideas and technologies. Additionally, Eurasia's interconnected civilizations and trade routes facilitated the sharing of innovations, whereas the Americas had more isolated societies. These factors combined fostered a more rapid and widespread exchange of ideas in Eurasia.
outhern Eurasia is more mountainous than North Eurasia.
North America began separating from Eurasia about 180 million years ago during the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. This separation process continued over millions of years, leading to the formation of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Geographers will often use the term 'Eurasia' when referring to Europe and Asia as one continent, as they would use 'The Americas' to refer to both North and South America. In many ways, using the term 'Eurasia' simplifies things, as countries like Russia and Turkey are split into both Asia and Europe.
Wolves are indigenous to Eurasia, North Africa and North America.
