Where is the eastern hemisphere
The Eastern Hemisphere
if you went into your backyard and
started digging you would eventually go
all the way through the world and end up
at the other side the other side of the
world from us is called the eastern
hemisphere and there's a lot to learn
about that half of the world the first
continent we're talking about today is
Asia a lot of people live in Asia in
fact over half of the people in the
world live there there are a lot of
different countries in Asia like China
India Japan Indonesia Russia and more
because of how big a is there's a lot of
stuff to see there including the highest
place on earth Mount Everest and the
lowest place on land the Dead Sea if you
look here on the map you'll see that
Europe and Asia are in fact one giant
continent some scientists think that
they shouldn't be separated and the
continent should be called Eurasia
there's discussion on both sides of what
we should call that continent for now
we'll just call them Europe and Asia
Europe is one of the smallest continents
in the world but it has a lot of people
living there too it has the second
largest number of people in the world
Europe has been a major center for art
government and technology for hundreds
of years
in fact it was European explorers who
first discovered the new world where we
live there are a lot of countries in
Europe you've probably heard of like
France and England as well as some that
are less known like Luxembourg south of
Europe you'll find the great continent
of Africa where there is everything from
huge modern cities to the wild african
savannah in
Savannah you'll find a lot of the
animals Africa is famous for like Lions
giraffes and zebras another very
interesting thing about Africa is that
there are small villages there that
haven't changed in hundreds of years so
if you visited them it'd almost be like
stepping back in time
the last continent in the eastern
hemisphere is called Australia you've
probably heard about some of the cool
things you can find there Australia has
some animals that you won't find
anywhere else in the world like the
kangaroo or the koala or if you like
your animals a little scarier you can
find the black funnel web spider also
living in Australia most of the people
who live there live on the coasts and
cities like Sydney the centre of the
continent is really flat one of the
flattest places on earth and is called
the outback
