Asia

Asia is the largest and most populous continent or region, depending on the definition. It covers 8.7 % of the Earth's total surface area, or 29.8 % of its land area, and it contains more than 60 % of the world's human population.

Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Africa-Eurasia – with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe – lying east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas.
