THE WORLD
The world is a very large entity comprising of so many countries. The Population size and land mass of the World is determined by the summary of these many countries that make up the world. Even though there has been disputes with respect to the actual figure of the number of countries in the world due to the continuous divisions in countries that suddenly found nothing in common between the various entities that they are made up of, the continent distribution system has to some extent been reliable.
Previously, the continent system proposed 3 continents in the world comprising of : 1. Eurafrasia(Africa, Asia, Europe)
2. America(North America, South America, Central America and the Antilles) and
3. Oceania(Australia, Melanesia,Micronesia and Polynesia).
This system was upheld for a while till the new system of seven continents in the world was proposed and enacted. The seven continents were just subdivisions of the three continents system. From previous understanding, the three continents sytem covered the whole world, so the seven continent system only gave a further division of these three continents into smaller and more specific continents. It gave room for a better look at the cuntries of the world and a more specific study environment for understanding the world atlas. These seven continents of the world are
1=>Asia (43,820,000 sq km) includes 48 countries, and it is the most populated continent, the 60% of the total population of the Earth live here.
