Continents and Oceans Our planet has many physical features. There are water, land, and (1) that cover the Earth. Vegetation is the trees, grass, and plants that we see everyday. When you look at a (2) or a map, you see the land and the water. On physical maps you would see mountains, (3) , and grassy areas. Physical maps use color to show the different types of landforms on Earth. Globes also use different colors to show landforms. Let's start with landmasses. Landmasses are the largest pieces of land on (4) . Geographers call these landmasses continents. Continents are usually surrounded by water. Geographers have named seven continents. They are Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, Europe, North America, and South America. If you live in the United States or Canada, then you are living in North America. You would find the (5) of England, France, and Spain in Europe. Remember when you read that continents are usually surrounded by water? Well, Europe and Asia are not surrounded by water. In fact, Europe and Asia are separated by (6) . The Ural Mountains separate the two continents. There are at least two (7) that separate Europe and Asia. Seas are bodies of (8) that are surrounded by land. These two seas are the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. Africa, one of the largest (9) , is south of Europe and part of Asia. China, Japan, and India are located in (10) . South America, just like its name, is found below North America. Australia and Antarctica are the last two continents. Australia is the only continent that is an (11) . It is completely surrounded by water. Australia has six (12) . If you visit the city of Sydney, you would be in the state of New South Wales. Antarctica is found at the (13) . Since it is very cold, there are very few people who live there. Now that we have covered the land, let's talk about the water. Our planet has five oceans. Oceans are very (14) bodies of salt water. They are not completely surrounded by land. Almost three-fourths of our planet is covered by ocean water. The Earth's oceans are the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the (15) Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest. The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest. The Southern Ocean is around Antarctica. The Indian Ocean is (16) Africa and Australia. The last ocean, the Arctic, is the coldest and smallest. You would find this ocean at the North Pole.
