There are seven major continents separated by large bodies of water: Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. Asia is the largest continent covering one third of the Earth's land area. Europe lies west of Asia and is much smaller. Africa is the second largest continent with the Equator running through the middle. North America is the third largest and connected to South America by the Isthmus of Panama. South America has the longest mountain range and largest river, the Amazon. Australia is the smallest continent surrounded by water in the Southern Hemisphere. Antarctica is permanently covered in ice and has no permanent human settlements.

The earth surface ppt
The document summarizes key information about the Earth's surface, including that it has 7 continents and 5 oceans. It describes each continent and ocean, noting their locations, sizes, and important geographic features. For example, it states that Asia is the largest continent, located between the Arctic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and is home to Mt. Everest and the Dead Sea. It also explains that the Earth was proven to be round when Magellan returned to his starting port after a 3 year voyage, sailing west.
Oceans and Continents
The document describes the seven continents and five oceans of the world. It provides details on the location and key facts about each continent. Asia is the largest continent and most populous. It is home to China, Mt. Everest, Burj Khalifa, Lake Baikal, and the Caspian Sea. Africa is the second largest continent and home to the Sahara desert, the Nile River, African elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, Nile crocodiles, and gorillas. North America is made up of 23 countries and includes Lake Superior and lion's mane jellyfish.
Blue Holes
The document discusses Blue-Holes, which are dark blue stained waters that appear ink-blue due to their deep color. They are connected to an underground labyrinth of flooded caves and galleries beneath the island of Andros in the Bahamas. The caves are filled with water that comes from the Tongue of Ocean, which surrounds the eastern coast of Andros.
Interesting facts about continents in the world
The document discusses the seven continents of the world. It provides 3-4 facts about each continent, such as Asia being the largest continent and home to many ancient civilizations, Africa being rich in minerals and the origin of humans, and Australia having more sheep than people. It also notes interesting details about Antarctica being the coldest, driest, and windiest place on Earth and its size fluctuating with the seasons.
Wildlife and Transportation of Africa
This document provides summaries of different types of wildlife found across Africa. It discusses the animals found in equatorial forests, savannas, deserts, woodlands, grasslands, Madagascar island, southeast coasts, Ethiopian highlands and more. The equatorial forests have the richest diversity with up to 400 bird species, 150 butterfly species and 60 amphibian species in a small area. Savannas support many large mammals adapted to seasonal food variability. Desert wildlife includes gerbils, foxes and reptiles tolerant of harsh conditions. Coastal regions historically had large predators like lions and leopards but many have disappeared due to human influences.

Blue Holes
The main attraction of the island of Andros in the Bahamas is the many blue holes along its coasts. Blue holes are inland ocean sinkholes that appear dark blue in color due to their depth. They were formed over 130 million years ago when changing sea levels caused some underwater caves to flood while others rose upwards, leaving open blue holes. Today the blue holes offer a glimpse into an underground network of flooded caves and passages connecting the ocean waters around the island.
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

The world's seas & oceans
The sphere of water on earth refers to the hydrosphere.
It encompasses all the water present in seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, reservoirs, ice caps, soil moisture, water vapor in the atmosphere and also as groundwater.
Among all these, ocean stands as a principal component of the hydrosphere. About 97 per cent of all the water available on the earth are existing as oceans. This module explains the global seas and oceans.
Major domains of the earth
The document discusses the major domains of Earth - the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. It provides details about each domain:
1) The lithosphere is the solid portion of Earth and includes rocks and soil. It is divided into continents and ocean basins.
2) The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth in its solid, liquid, and gas forms, covering over 70% of the planet. The four major oceans are identified.
3) The atmosphere surrounds Earth and is composed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen. It is divided into layers by temperature and composition.
4) The biosphere is the narrow zone where life exists, encompassing interactions between the lithosphere
Interesting facts about each contient
The document provides information about each of the seven continents:
- Asia is the largest continent, with the highest population and home to major religions and ancient civilizations. It contains the highest mountains.
- Africa is the second largest continent, home to the Nile River and Sahara Desert. It has a hot climate and is rich in natural resources. Many believe it is where humans first lived.
- Australia is the smallest continent and only country, located entirely in the Southern Hemisphere. It is home to unique animals like kangaroos and platypuses. The Great Barrier Reef is off its coast.
The Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic is relatively a narrow body of water. It exists between two parallel continental masses.
The Atlantic Ocean touches both the Europe and the Africa on its eastern side. It is bounded by North America and South America along its western region. The Atlantic has no definite northern or southern boundaries. It runs into the Arctic Ocean on the north, and the Antarctic Ocean on the south. Some geographers consider the Arctic Circle as its northern boundary, and the Antarctic Circle as its southern boundary. The ancient Romans named the Atlantic after the Atlas mountains. These mountains rose at the western end of the Mediterranean sea.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
