Big and complex, Asia is the largest and most populous continent on Earth. Since classical antiquity, it has been considered a landmass different from Europe and Africa (or Libya), although Europe and Asia are actually part of a single landmass called Eurasia. Asia occupies about one-third of the land surface of the Planet and it includes Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world.

The range of ocean colors represents various types of activity occurring in the waters, like different kinds of sediment, from a variety of soils and organic debris.
