From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent. It covers 8.6% of the earth's total surface area (or 29.9% of its land area) and with approximately 4 billion people, it provides 60% of the world's current human population. It is located in the eastern and northern hemispheres. Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Eurasia with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe located to the east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas. It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean. Given its size and diversity, Asia a toponym dating back to classical antiquity is more a cultural concept incorporating a number of regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity (see Subregions of Asia, Asian people). The wealth of Asia differs widely between and within each region. This is due to its vast size and huge range of different cultures, environments, historical ties and government systems. In terms of nominal GDP, Japan has the largest economy on the continent and the second largest in the world. In purchasing power parity term, however, the People's Republic of China has the largest economy in Asia and the second largest in the world. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by helloimlily - Tue Mar 31 08:55:03 2009 Why is Europe and Asia two diffrent continents while they are on the same land? Q. Even from a geological point of view, Europe and Asia share the same tectonic plate... So how come they're not one really big continent? Asked by Big Baby - Sat May 3 13:29:27 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. The reason these two countries share the same land mass but are considered to be two distinct continents is pretty baffling, I guess. However, one explanation is that centuries ago, these nations' leaders decided that since the people that reside in these two countries (Europe and Asia) are just as distinct and dissimilar as the countries themselves, that they might as well, for political necessity, say that Europe and Asia are two distinct continents. So, the decision to call designate Europe and Asia as two continents, though they share the same land mass, was much more of a political decision than it was a geographical one.
