Just below North America on a map you will see another large continent shaped like a long triangle. That continent is South America, with countries like Brazil and Argentina.

Asia is home to countries like China and India, where billions of people live, so it has more people than any other continent on Earth.

Africa has huge grasslands and jungles where lions, elephants, giraffes, and zebras roam free, which is why it is famous for its wild animals.

Australia is unusual because it is one big piece of land surrounded by ocean, making it a continent, but it is also one nation with one government, making it a country too.

If you look at a map, Europe and Asia are not separated by water. They share the same huge stretch of land, so people group them together as one connected piece.

The equator is not something you can see or touch. It is a pretend line that mapmakers draw around the widest part of Earth to mark its middle.

Oceans are not freshwater like lakes or rivers. They hold enormous amounts of salty water, which is why the missing word is water.

Sail east from New York and you will cross the Atlantic Ocean until you reach Europe, so the Atlantic is the ocean sitting between North America and Europe.

Penguins need icy, freezing weather to live, and the only continent cold enough year-round for most penguin species is Antarctica.

Africa has the wide savannas where lions and elephants roam, Antarctica is buried under ice at the South Pole, Asia is the biggest continent with the most people, and Australia is the smallest of the seven continents.
