Ordered from largest in area to smallest, these seven regions are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. Variations with fewer continents may merge some of these, for example some systems include Afro-Eurasia, America or Eurasia as single continents.

The three largest bodies of water in Central Asia are the Caspian Sea, the Aral Sea, and Lake Balkhash.

North Asia is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to its north; by Eastern Europe to its west; by Central and East Asia to its south; and by the Pacific Ocean and North America to its east….

The continents do not float on a sea of molten rock. Under the continents is a layer of solid rock known as the upper mantle or asthenosphere. Though solid, this layer is weak and ductile enough to slowly flow under heat convection, causing the tectonic plates to move.

Asia. The word Asia originated from the Ancient Greek word Ἀσία, first attributed to Herodotus (about 440 BCE) in reference to Anatolia or to the Persian Empire, in contrast to Greece and Egypt. It originally was just a name for the east bank of the Aegean Sea, an area known to the Hittites as Assuwa.

The Southeast Asian Waters consist of the China Sea, the Java Sea, the Sulu Sea, the Philippine Waters, the Celebes Sea, the Banda Sea, the Flores Sea, the Arafura Sea, the Timor Sea, and the Andaman Sea. The whole region comprises an area of 8.94 million square kilometres, which is 2.5 per cent.

Asia is bounded by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Indian Ocean to the south, the Red Sea (as well as the inland seas of the Atlantic Ocean—the Mediterranean and the Black) to the southwest, and Europe to the west.

A gigantic freshwater aquifer is hiding under the salty Atlantic Ocean, just off the northeastern coast of the United States, a new study finds. This aquifer may contain about 670 cubic miles (2,800 cubic kilometers) of slightly salty water (we’ll explain its slight saltiness later).

This is the longest water body in Western Asia flowing to a length of 2800 kilometers. It originates from Turkey, flows through Syria and joins Tigris River in Iraq. Where the two rivers unite they flow to a length of 200 kilometers and it is named Shatt al-Arab. The river has for years being a source of water and even fish.

Due to the massive amounts of water used for irrigation, agriculture is by far the biggest water user in Central Asia, and per capita water use inCentral Asia ismuchhigher than in European countries (Figure 4). Agriculture puts heavy stress on water resources

Scientists scanning the deep interior of Earth have found evidence of a vast water reservoir beneath eastern Asia that is at least the volume of the Arctic Ocean. The discovery marks the first time such a large body of water has found in the planet’s deep mantle. [The World’s Biggest Oceans and Seas]
