🌍 All About the Continents

Our planet is full of amazing places, people, and wildlife — and one way we group these places is by continents. A continent is a large piece of land made up of many countries. Let’s explore all seven continents and what makes each one special!

🦁 Africa

North America has many different climates — from icy Canada to sunny beaches in the Caribbean. It’s also home to the Rocky Mountains and the Great Lakes.

🌳 South America

South America is famous for the Amazon Rainforest, which is full of plants and animals found nowhere else. It also has the Andes Mountains, the longest mountain range on land.
