THE 7 CONTINENTS

 

 

There are seven continents: North America, South America, Antarctica, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia. We live on North America. The coldest continent is Antarctica. The two warmest are probably South America and Africa because the equator runs through them. Some children may think that there are only six continents. They may think that because it looks like Europe is part of Asia. Most of South America, Australia, Antarctica, and Africa are all below the equator. North America, most of Asia, and Europe are all above the equator. North America has great climate and weather. I don’t know about the other continents’ climates because I have never been there. All I know is that the areas closest to the equator are probably the warmest. The lowest temperature in Antarctica is -129˚F. The continent with cold temperatures all year is Antarctica. The highest temperature ever recorded is 59˚F. The average summer temperature is 20˚F.The average winter temperature is-30˚F. Those were all the seven continents along with there climates and where they are located.              By: Priscilla DaCosta
