While Africa is first alphabetically, the whole continent is second in both population and size. Over 1 billion people can call Africa home. The people are spread across 54 different countries in the African continent. This continent is home to 15% of the world’s population and the continent...
In order to help my girls learn the 7 continents, I created a set of printable Continents Cards that we use in a variety of ways. Note: This post was originally published in 2014. The Continents Cards and the post have been freshly updated for the 2024 school year. Find more Geography ...
When looking at the size of the continents by population, the rankings of biggest to smallest continents get re-ordered. In addition to being the largest continent by land area,the largest continent by population isAsiawith more than 4.46 billion people living within its boundaries. Asia currently...
Species in Kenya were more differentiated by habitat, microhabitat, and seed species, and less differentiated by seed size than finches in Galapagos. Diets were on average more taxonomically specialized, and associations between diet and beak and body dimensions were correspondingly weaker. Kenya ...

It’s not the number of the oceans, it’s the size of the hills (26-38 km) Twenty-four hours earlier, the ultramarathon had been rerouted and the relay canceled due to a “credible and real threat” of protests along the route. Fortunately, a contingency route had already been in pla...
size (and surface gravity) variations. In particular, on Earth, the difference between the average elevation of continents (~ 0.835 km above sea level) and the average depth of oceans (3.7 km) is due mainly to the difference in their average vertical density profiles caused by systematic ...
Full size image There still exists regional variability and deviations from the CC rate in the estimated “clear-sky” sensitivities over land. Studies attribute these regional deviations to dynamic factors, particularly to changes in vertical pressure velocities11,50. To assess the impact of dynamics...
