*”eurasia” is a combined continental landmass of ‘europe’ + ‘asia’*
.
(the term is a portmanteau of its constituent continents (‘europe’ & ‘asia’))
(located primarily in the ‘northern’ + ‘eastern’ hemispheres, it is bordered by the ‘atlantic ocean’ to the ‘west’, the ‘pacific ocean’ to the ‘east’, the ‘arctic ocean’ to the ‘north’, and by ‘africa’, the ‘mediterranean sea’, and the ‘indian ocean’ to the ‘south’)
(the division between ‘europe’ and ‘asia’ as 2 different ‘continents’ is a ‘historical social construct’, with no clear ‘physical separation’ between them; thus, in some parts of the world, ‘eurasia’ is recognized as the largest of ‘5’ or ‘6’ continents)
(in geology, ‘eurasia’ is often considered as a single rigid ‘megablock’)
(however, the ‘rigidity’ of ‘eurasia’ is debated based on the ‘paleomagnet data’)
(‘eurasia’ covers around 55,000,000 square kilometres (21,000,000 sq mi), or around 36.2% of the earth’s ‘total land area’)
(the landmass contains around 5.0 billion people, equating to approximately 70% of the human population)
(‘humans’ first settled in ‘eurasia’ between ‘60,000’ and ‘125,000’ years ago)
(some major islands, including ‘great britain’, ‘iceland’, and ‘ireland’, and those of ‘japan’, the ‘philippines’, and ‘indonesia’, are often included under the popular definition of ‘eurasia’, in spite of being separate from the massive landmass)
(physiographically, ‘eurasia’ is a single ‘continent’)
(the concepts of ‘europe’ and ‘asia’ as distinct ‘continents’ date back to ‘antiquity’ and their borders are geologically arbitrary)
(in ancient times the ‘black sea’ and the ‘sea of marmara’, along with their associated ‘straits’, were seen as separating the ‘continents’, but today the ‘ural’ and ‘caucasus’ ranges are more seen as the main delimiters between the two)
(‘eurasia’ is connected to ‘africa’ at the ‘suez canal’, and ‘eurasia’ is sometimes combined with ‘africa’ to make the largest contiguous landmass on ‘earth’ called ‘afro-eurasia’)
.
(due to the vast ‘landmass’ + differences in ‘latitude’, ‘eurasia’ exhibits all types of climate under the “köppen classification”, including…)
*the harshest types of ‘hot’ + ‘cold’ temperatures*
*’high’ + ‘low’ precipitation*
*various types of ‘eco-systems’*
