Africa is the world's second largest continent and also the second most populous one. It is considered by many scientists to be the cradle of human civilisation in that the first humans are thought to have appeared here. Africa boasts of the world's longest river 'the Nile' and the world's largest desert 'Sahara 53 Desert'. Africa contains fifty-three countries and is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
North America is our planet's third largest continent after Asia and Africa, and it includes twenty-three countries, and numerous possessions and territories. It contains USA, Canada, Mexico, all Caribbean and Central America countries, as well as Greenland the world's largest island. Located in our planet's 5 Northern and Western hemispheres, it is bordered in the north by the Arctic Ocean, in the east by the Pacific Ocean. Atlantic Ocean, in the southeast by the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean.
South America is the earth's fourth largest continent after Asia, Africa and North America. It has twelve nations and three territories that are aligned to different nations including the Falkland Islands belonging .to UK, but a perennial bone of contention between UK and Argentina. Though a little lower than mid-way in the hierarchy of continent sizes, South America can lay claim to several largest natural formations, For instance, the Andes are the largest mountain range in the world while the Amazon is the world's largest river (in terms of size), with nearly 20 percent of Earth's fresh water.

Danube, Volga, Thames and the Rhine are some of the major rivers of Europe. Europe's highest point, in European part of Russia, is Mt. Elbrus at 18,481 ft (5,633m).
