continent

Dünya'daki yedi büyük kara kütlesinden biri

One of the seven large land masses on Earth (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, South America).

• Africa is the second-largest continent.
• They traveled to every continent except Antarctica.
• Asia is the most populous continent.
• Geological evidence indicates that the continent of Pangaea began fragmenting approximately 200 million years ago, eventually forming today's landmasses through tectonic drift.
• Climate models predict that rising sea levels will disproportionately affect low-lying regions on every continent, displacing millions of inhabitants by the century's end.
• Comparative studies of mammalian evolution reveal that isolation on separate continent masses led to remarkable adaptive radiations and the emergence of distinct faunal assemblages.
