Interesting facts about the Earth

The Earth has a round shape called a sphere. An imaginary line, called the

Equator, divides the Earth into two hemispheres, a Northern hemisphere and a

Southern hemisphere.

If you travel north from the Equator, you will reach the North Pole. If you travel south

from the Equator, you will reach the South Pole.

There are seven continents on Earth. The continents are Antarctica, South America,

North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. Did you know that Australia is the

smallest continent and Asia is the biggest continent? Millions of years ago, all the

continents on the Earth used to be one big continent, called Pangea.

Seventy-one percent of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. The four biggest

oceans are the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Arctic Ocean.

A globe is a round model of the Earth, but if we need to find places or give directions

we usually use a map. All maps have a compass to show you where north is on that

specific map.
