Asia, the full name of Asia Minor, is the largest and most populous of the seven continents. The earth spans cold, warm and hot zones, accounting for 8.7% of the total area of the earth (or 29.4% of the total land area). The topography of Asia is complex and diverse, and the Asian climate is characterized by complex and diverse continental climate and obvious monsoon climate.

Most of Asia is located in the northern hemisphere and the eastern hemisphere. The dividing line between Asia and Africa is the Suez Canal. East of Suez Canal is Asia. The dividing line between Asia and Europe is the Ural Mountains, ural river, Caspian Sea, Caucasus Mountains, Turkish Strait and Black Sea. East of the Urals Mountains and south of the Great Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea are Asia.
