Asia: Most of the land in Asia is located in the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres. It is traditionally defined as part of the Afro-Eurasian continent. The western part of Africa-Eurasia is Europe. The dividing line between Asia and Africa is the Suez Canal. East of the Suez Canal is Asia. The dividing lines between Asia and Europe are the Ural Mountains, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, and the Black Sea. To the east of the Ural Mountains and the Caucasus Mountains, and to the south of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea is Asia. The mainland reaches Cape Dezhnev in the Bering Strait in the east (longitude 169 degrees 40 minutes west, latitude 60 degrees 5 minutes north), and the Nusa Tenggara Islands in the south (longitude 103 degrees 30 minutes east, latitude 11 degrees 7 minutes south). , reaching Cape Baba in the west (26 degrees 3 minutes east longitude, 39 degrees 27 minutes north latitude), and reaching Cape Chelyuskin in the north (104 degrees 18 minutes east longitude, 77 degrees 43 minutes north latitude). The highest peak is Mount Everest. It spans a wide range of longitude and latitude, and the time difference between east and west is as high as 11 hours. It is connected to Europe in the west, forming Eurasia, the largest landmass on Earth.

Asia is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Indian Ocean to the south, and Europe to the west by the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea, the Turkish Strait and the Aegean Sea, and to the southwest. The Gulf of Aden, Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and the Red Sea are adjacent to Africa, and face North America across the Bering Strait to the northeast. Area: 44 million square kilometers, the largest continent in the world.

Population: The population reached 3.672 billion in 2000, accounting for approximately 60.5% of the world's total population.

Oil, iron, tin and other reserves rank first among all continents; the total forest area accounts for about 13% of the world's total exploitable forest area; the exploitable hydropower resources can The power generation capacity reaches 2.6 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 27% of the world's exploitable hydropower resources; the coastal fishery area accounts for approximately 40% of the world's total coastal fishery area.

Economy: With the exception of Japan, Singapore, South Korea and other countries, the economies of most Asian countries are dominated by agriculture and mining. There are significant differences in the level of industrial development and sectoral and regional structures in various countries and regions. The vast majority of countries have a weak industrial base, with mining, agricultural product processing, and economic and textile industries occupying a dominant position.

Europe:

It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar to the south, facing the African continent, and the Asian continent to the east.

Europe covers an area of ??10.16 million square kilometers and consists of 45 countries and regions.

The average height of the entire European terrain is 340 meters. The terrain is mainly plains. A series of mountains stand in the south, collectively known as the Alps. Among them, Mont Blanc is 4807 meters above sea level. Mont Blanc belongs to France and has become The highest peak in Western Europe. Europe has a dense river network and abundant water. The longest river is the Volga River, 3,690 kilometers long, and the second largest river is the Danube River, with a total length of 2,850 kilometers. It is the river that flows through the most countries in the world.

Europe is the only continent with a permanent population that does not have a tropical climate. At the same time, the area occupied by the frigid climate is not large, so the climate is mild and the precipitation is relatively evenly distributed. Most of it has a temperate maritime climate.

Language:

The main languages ??are English, Russian, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.

< p> Population: 728 million people, accounting for approximately 12.5% ??of the world's total population, is the continent with the highest population density.

99% of European residents belong to the European race (Caucasian race), which is a continent with a relatively homogeneous racial composition.

The Suez Canal is customarily used as the boundary between Africa and Asia in the northeast corner. It accounts for approximately 20.2% of the world's total land area, making it the world's second largest continent after Asia. The population was 723 million (mid-1994), accounting for approximately 12% of the world's total population. 8%. The urban population accounts for approximately 26% of the continent's population. The population is relatively densely distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile River valley, along the coast of northwest Africa, the northern coast of the Gulf of Guinea, the East African plateau and coast, the east of Madagascar, and the southeast of South Africa. In the vast Sahara Desert, the average population is as low as one person per square kilometer. , is one of the most sparsely populated areas in the world. The residents are mainly divided into black people (Negro-Australian race) and white people (European race). Most African residents believe in primitive religions and Islam, while a few believe in Catholicism and Christianity. The continent is divided into 8 climate zones. They are: hot desert area, semi-arid area, tropical wet and dry season area, equatorial area (tropical humid area), Mediterranean area, subtropical humid ocean area, warm temperate plateau area and mountainous area.
