THE LARGEST LEND AND MOST POPULOUS




























Asia is the largest of the continents of the world. It is a larger than Africa, larger than either
of the two Americas, and four times as large as Europe. Asia and Europe form a huge land mass.
Indeed Europe is so much smaller than Asia that some geographers regard Europe as a peninsula
of Asia.
亚洲是世界上最大的洲。
它比非洲大，比两个美洲大，是欧洲的四倍。
亚 洲和欧洲形成
了巨大的陆地。事实上，欧洲比亚洲小得多，一些地理学家把欧洲视为亚洲半岛。


Many geographers say that the Ural Mountains form the dividing line between Europe and
Asia.
Some
think
differently.
But
all
geographers
agree
that
Asia
was
once
linked
to
North
America.
Or,
to
be
more
exact,
Alaska
was
at
one
time
connected
with
the
tip
Siberia.
The
ancestors of American Indians, geographers say, were Asians. 30000 years ago they went across
the land bridge and settled down in new homes.
许多地理学家说乌 拉尔山脉形成了欧洲和亚洲的分界线。
有些人的想法不同。
但所有地
理学家都认为亚洲 曾经与北美国联系在一起。
或者更确切地说，
阿拉斯加曾一度与西伯利亚
尖端相连。地 理学家说，美洲印第安人的祖先是亚洲人。
30000
年前，他们穿过陆桥，定居
在新 的家园。

weather
is
uncertain.
