The Continents
How Many Continents Are There?
A Continent is one of several very large landmasses of the world. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
Depending on the convention and model, some continents may be consolidated or subdivided: For example, Eurasia is most often subdivided into Asia and Europe, while North America and South America are sometimes recognised as one American continent, The Americas.
“The world is a book and those who stay home only get to read the first page.”
– Agustine of Hippo
Therefore, I would like to apply yet another convention and divide contents of this site into the regions / continents Asia, Europe, Scandinavia and The Americas. Hope, you don’t mind as it does fit the presentation of all the pics taken by me while traveling the world much better.
- Asia is the largest continent in the world by both land area and population. It covers an area of more than 44 million square kilometers, about 30% of Earth’s total land area and 8% of Earth’s total surface area.
- Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and Asia to the east.
- Scandinavia is a subregion of Northern Europe, with strong historical, cultural, and linguistic ties between its constituent people. Scandinavia most commonly refers to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
- The Americas, sometimes collectively called America, are a landmass comprising the totality of North and South America. The Americas make up most of the land in Earth’s Western Hemisphere and comprise the New World.
It’s all ‘under construction‘ anyway: In about one galactic year (roughly 225 million earth years) from now, all the continents on Earth may fuse – yet again – into a supercontinent. Three potential arrangements of this configuration have been dubbed Amasia (+100 million years), Novopangaea (+200 million years) and Pangaea Ultima (+250 million years.)
