Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.A 'Kontinent' is a large, continuous landmass on Earth that is generally surrounded by water. There are seven continents on Earth: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and South America.
Each continent has its own unique geography, climate, and ecosystems. They are home to diverse cultures, languages, and civilizations. Continents play a crucial role in shaping the planet's climate patterns and supporting various forms of life.
The concept of continents has evolved over time as our understanding of Earth's geology and plate tectonics has advanced. The boundaries between continents are not always clearly defined and can vary depending on different cultural, geological, and political perspectives.
