The largest continent in terms of area is Asia; it has an area of approximately forty three million square kilometres. Asia is also the most populous continent with two of the most populous countries of China and India located in it. Europe along with North America is perhaps where the most developed countries lie. Collectively they are sometimes known as the western world. Africa which is the second largest in terms of area is perhaps the poorest continent in terms of standard of living.

When I was a kid I was taught there were 5 continents. North and South America are geographically 1 continent because they are connected by the Isthmus of Panama. The Panama Canal was built by men in the times of T. Roosevelt.  Back in the 60's in my country, Australia and Antarctica were not considered continents, Oceania was. I guess times have changed and the way people view the world.
