Eurasia - most large continent on the ground.
Eurasia is the largest continent on Earth, with an area of 53.893 million km², which is 36% of the land area.
Population - more than 4.947 billion (2010), which is about 3/4 of the population of the entire planet.
This the only continent on Earth, washed by four oceans: in the south - Indian, in the north - Arctic, in the west - Atlantic, in the east - Quiet.
Eurasia stretches from west to east for 16 thousand km, from north to south - for 8 thousand km, with an area of ≈ 54 million km². This is more than a third of the entire land area of the planet. The area of the Eurasian islands is approaching 2.75 million km².
Eurasia is the most high continent on the ground
Eurasia is the highest continent on Earth, its average height- about 830 meters (the average height of Antarctica is higher due to the ice sheet, but if its height is considered to be the height of the bedrock, then the continent will be the lowest). In Eurasia there are the highest mountains on Earth - the Himalayas (Ind. Abode of Snows), and the Eurasian mountain the systems of the Himalayas, Tibet, Hindu Kush, Pamir, Tien Shan and others form the largest mountain region on Earth.
Eurasia has the most high mountain Earth - Chomolungma (Everest).
Chomolungma (Everest, Sagarmatha) - highest peak world, height 8848 meters. View from the northwest.
The biggest mountain system by area - Tibet.
The deepest lake is Baikal
Baikal (Bur. Baigal Dalai, Baigal Nuur) is a lake of tectonic origin in the southern part Eastern Siberia, the deepest lake on the planet, the largest natural reservoir fresh water. The lake stretches from northeast to southwest for 620 km in the form of a giant crescent. The width of Lake Baikal ranges from 24 to 79 km. The bottom of Lake Baikal is 1167 meters below the level of the World Ocean, and the surface of its waters is 453 meters higher. Square water surface Baikal - 31,722 km² (excluding islands), which is approximately equal to the area of countries such as Belgium or the Netherlands. By area water mirror Baikal ranks sixth among the largest lakes in the world. The length of the coastline is 2100 km. Baikal is the deepest lake on Earth. Modern meaning the maximum depth of the lake - 1642 m - was established in 1983 by L. G. Kolotilo and A. I. Sulimov during the performance of hydrographic work by the expedition of the Main Directorate of National Research and Oceanography of the USSR Ministry of Defense at a point with coordinates 53°14′ 59″ N. w. 108°05′ 11″ h. d.

Siberia - vast geographical region in northeastern Eurasia, limited to the west Ural mountains, from the east watershed ridges at Pacific Ocean, from the north by Northern Arctic Ocean, from the south by the border of neighboring states of Russia (Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China). IN modern usage the term Siberia, as a rule, refers to the territory located within these geographical boundaries Russian Federation, although how historical concept, within its wide borders, Siberia includes both the northeast of Kazakhstan and the entire Russian Far East. Siberia is divided into Western and Eastern.

The most low point sushi - Dead Sea Depression
The Dead Sea (Hebrew: Yam ha-melah - “Sea of Salt”; Arabic: ’Al-Bahr Al-Mayit - “Dead Sea”; also Asphalt Sea, Sea of Sodom) is an endorheic salt lake between Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. The water level in the Dead Sea is 425 m (2012) below sea level and is falling at a rate of approximately 1 m per year. The lake coast is the lowest landmass on Earth. The Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth, with salinity reaching 33.7%. The sea is 67 km long, 18 km wide at its widest point, maximum depth 378 m.
The cold pole of the northern hemisphere, Oymyakon, is also located on the continent.
Oymyakon (Yakut. Ө йм ө к өө n) - village in Oym Yaconian ulus of Yakutia, on the left bank of the Indigirka River.Oymyakon is best known as one of the “Poles of Cold” on the planet; according to a number of parameters, the Oymyakon Valley is the most severe place on Earth where a permanent population lives. Oymyakon is located in the east of Yakutia, the population of the village is 472 people (2010). Oymyakon is located in high latitudes (however, to the south Arctic Circle), the length of the day varies from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in the summer; in the summer there are white nights and light all day long. The village is located at an altitude of 741 meters above sea level.
Officially, the lowest recorded temperature in Oymyakon is −67.7 °C, recorded in 1933, and in Verkhoyansk −67.8 °C, noted in 1892 (no observations were made in Oymyakon at this time). However, unofficially in 1924, academician Sergei Obruchev recorded a temperature of −71.2 °C in Oymyakon.
Cherrapunji is the wettest place on Earth.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the record holder for the most annual rainfall is the city of Cherrapunji, located in northeastern India in the state of Meghalaya, bordering Bangladesh. Heavy rains, called monsoons, occur here from June to September. In winter, as a rule, there is no rain in this area, and then local population suffers due to lack of water. The paradox of the wettest place in the world is explained by the fact that Cherrapunji is located at an altitude of 1313 meters above sea level and the precipitation that falls during the rainy season does not have time to be absorbed into the soil. The saving moisture flows down into the rivers, which carry their waters to Bangladesh. Cherrapunji has about 180 rainy days a year. The reason for this is high level precipitation is due to the fact that air from the plains, rising to a high altitude, cools and leads to the formation thick fog and clouds contributing to the onset of the rainy season. No wonder the name of the state of Meghalaya is translated as “abode of clouds”.

Xə zə r də nizi) is the largest endorheic lake on Earth, located at the junction of Europe and Asia, called a sea due to the fact that its bed is composed of the earth’s crust oceanic type. The water in the Caspian Sea is salty, from 0.05 ‰ near the mouth of the Volga to 11-13 ‰ in the southeast. The water level is subject to fluctuations, according to 2009 data it was 27.16 m below sea level. The area of the Caspian Sea is currently approximately 371,000 km², the maximum depth is 1025 m.
Records of Eurasia. Eurasia is the most diverse in natural attitude mainland. He holds many records. Let's look at some of them. 1. This is the largest continent in area and the only one whose shores are washed by the waters of all four oceans. 2. The highest, Mount Chomolungma, and the lowest, the depression, are located here Dead Sea- points earth's land. The first is located 8848 m above the level of the World Ocean, the second is 395 m below. The height fluctuations are 9243 m, that is, more than 9 km. 3. In Eurasia there are: - the highest mountains on Earth - the Himalayas; - the greatest highland in the world - Tibetan, the prevailing heights of which are more than 4800 meters; - the largest lake by area is the Caspian; - the deepest of the lakes is Baikal; - area with maximum annual amount precipitation - the village of Cherrapunji in the foothills of the Himalayas; - most large peninsula- Arabian; - the longest of the fjords - Sogne - a fjord in Norway.
