And we take the A for Antarctica.

Europe is Europe.

And alone we take the A for Australia.

And we'll just go over that one more time.

So that's the mnemonic for the seven continents in order of size.

And the mnemonic is Asia and Africa are North and South and Europe alone.

The Asia is Asia and Africa is Africa.

R is assisting.

North is North America and South, South America.

And we take the A for Antarctica.

Europe is Europe, and alone we take the A for Australia.

Now on to... And the first fact, fact number one.

As many would know, back in the old days, about 299 million years ago, there used to be only one continent.

That continent, or large mass of land, was called Pangea.

And fact two, about 200 million years ago, this continent began to move apart and very slowly form the continents as we know them today.

During the process of moving apart about 200 million years ago, the continent of Pangea separated into two new continents called Laurasia and Gondwana Land.

Laurasia was made up of the present day continents of North America, Europe and Asia.

And Gondwanaland was made up of Antarctica, Australia and South America.

And Fact 3.

The largest continent, Asia, also contains the highest population with 4.1 billion people.
