THE CONTIENTS OF THE WORLD.

Here, Africa, the Americas (North America and South America), Antarctica, Asia, Australia together with the Oceanic, and Europe are considered to be continents. The term continent is used to differentiate between the various large areas of the earth into which the land surface is divided. So, a continent is “a large, continuous area of land on Earth”. All continents together constitutes less than one-third of the earth’s surface, that means more than two-thirds of the surface are covered with water. The two-thirds of the continental landmass is located in the Northern Hemisphere.
