Asia

The vast continent of Asia has impressive credentials; the largest continent on earth and roughly one third of the earth’s land surface, the highest average elevation of all the continents, home to both the highest and lowest points on earth, the longest continental coastline and the most dramatic extremes of climate giving rise to the broadest spectrum of vegetation and animal life of any of the continents.
