Oh! Are you looking at the globe and trying to understand the continents?
Let me guide you with this.
Let me guide you about all of it.
As you know the Planet Earth is like a huge ball with the surface made up of land and water.
If you look at the globe you will see that we can see only one side of the Earth at a time but if we strech the surface to get a map, it will look like this one.
This show the entire surface of the Earth: the dark blue areas are water, and rest of the area is land.
The whole land area of the Earth is divided into 7th parts, these are called: continents.
These continents are continuous Earth landmasses.These continents are: North America; Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Antarctica.
Let's learn an easy way to remember these names, look at these sentence: "Erin Ate Nine Sticky Appricots At Aprils". "E", is for Europe, "A" is for Asia, "N" is for North America, "S" is for South America. Again, an "A" here is for Africa, another "A" for Australia, and yet another "A" for Antarctica. Remember: "Erin Ate Nine Sticky Appricots At Aprils". And now you can remember the names of all the continents.
