Asia physical map.

Asia, located almost exclusively in the northern hemisphere, east of Eurasia, is the largest of the seven continents of the planet, with 43 810 582 km², or 8.6% of the world's surface and 29.4% of the surface .

Asia is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Pacific Ocean, and to the south by the Indian Ocean.

The border with Europe starts with the coast of the eastern Mediterranean, even though Turkey in the Near East extends partly into the Aegean Islands and includes Istanbul on the European side of the Bosphorus. On the north the boundary between the continents of Asia and Europe is commonly regarded as running through the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, the Bosporus, the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Caspian Sea, the Ural River to its source, and a long border generally following the eastern side of the Ural Mountains to the Kara Sea, Russia.

Asia is connected to north Africa by the Red Sea via the isthmus of Suez and the Red Sea. In the northeast, the mainland masses of Asia and North America are on the Bering Strait just over 80 km apart. In the southeast of the Malay Archipelago forms the connection to Australia. Map 2007.
