 INTRODUCTION
• Asia is the largest of the world's continents,
covering approximately 30 percent of the
Earth's land area. It is also the world's most
populous continent, with roughly 60 percent
of the total population. Asia makes up the
eastern portion of the Eurasian
supercontinent; Europe occupies the western
portion.
 LOCATION
• 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
 POLITICAL DIVISIONS
• Based on the regional topography and resources, Asian countries have been grouped into five
regions: ... East Asia - Japan, China, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea. 5. South Asia - India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Maldives.
 PHYSICAL FEATURES
• Asia can be divided into five major physical regions: mountain systems; plateaus;
plains, steppes, and deserts; freshwater environments; and saltwater
environments. The Himalaya mountains extend for about 2,500 kilometers (1,550
miles), separating the Indian subcontinent from the rest of Asia.
 CLIMATIC FEATURES
• Temperature. The Southern sections of Asia are mild to hot, while far northeastern
areas such as Siberia are very cold, and East Asia has a temperate climate. The
highest temperature recorded in Asia was 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) at Tirat Zvi, Israel on
June 21, 1942 and at Ahvaz, Iran on June 29, 2017
 CONCLUSION
• With its diverse physical features and the
climatic conditions they are subjected to
clearly, no two places in Asia experience quit
the same weather. It is a land of skyward
mountains, colossal plains, murky swamps and
unforgiving deserts. All these features truly
justify Asia as a land of contrasts.
